I have now had 6 suits made by Barney Goodman and I am addicted to the great service and the wide choice of cloths available. It takes approximately 6 – 8 weeks and the process includes measurement(obviously), choosing your cloth, style and lining(the best bit), a fitting(where you really do get a jacket with one arm and chalk marks all over it!) and then a couple of weeks after that the completed suit. The quality of the work is excellent and you will really notice the difference compared to an off-the-peg option. You also can learn from John Ibbeson(aka Barney Goodman) what to look for when buying a suit. One point to note, Barney Goodman no longer has a shop on Ecclesall Road, but you’ll be able to find the website and contact details if you Google it. Forget Paul Smith, Hugo Boss and co, if you need a new suit and are prepared to pay around £500, then have one made bespoke to you — you will not regret it.
