Tailor Made London

A convenient 5 minutes walk from old street tube, Tailor Made London is a suit tailors like no other.
Rather than have a geezer poking at your bits with a tape measure in his teeth, the crew at Tailor Made have gone full future with a 3D body scanner. You simply step in to the machine and a few seconds later it has produced a full 3D model of your body, involving thousands of individual measurements. You still need to strip down to your shreddies (it can’t see through clothes yet) but you’re behind a screen and it’s still less intrusive than a traditional measuring by a tailor.
The studio clearly doubles as their office but it is bright and spacious with a comfortable lounge space at one end, literally stacked with style magazines and tailoring options. You can book a full-​on style consultation but I was happy to just browse through the books of cloths and features until I found the bits I liked. Everyone there seemed really friendly and they were able to make suggestions without sounding like snobby fashionistas.
All my details were sent to the tailor and a few weeks later I went back for my suit — I still can’t believe how good it looks! Their tailored suits aren’t «cheap» compared to off the peg high street, but you’d pay 4 or 5 times the amount for the same standard at a regular tailor’s, and you might have to have one or two extra fittings before they get it right.
Whatever you think about the body scanner, quality tailored suits at this price are not to be sniffed at!
