Made to Measure Suits
Doherty Evans
We have always been interested in working with makers as opposed to brands. These makers are experts in their specific field, often with at least fifty years of heritage.
We hope to introduce these makers to customers who will benefit from the quality of their wares for years to come.
Gran Sasso, Knitwear
Established in 1952, Gran Sasso has been a beacon of Italian craftsmanship and style for nearly seven decades. With each collection of men's Italian knitwear, they continue to uphold their legacy by combining traditional materials and processing techniques with a modern twist. The result? A collection of men's jumpers, shirts & polos that exude comfort, understated style and a touch of luxury.
ANDERSON'S, belts
Anderson's have been manufacturing fine quality leather belts in Parma, Italy since 1966.

Founded in 1879 in Northampton which is of course England's most famous shoemaking town, Crockett & Jones are a world renowned specialist in the manufacture of high quality Goodyear-welted footwear. It is this heritage and quality combined with iconic modern styling which makes Crockett & Jones really stand out.
DRAKE'S, shirting and printed accessories
Drake's began life in East London in 1977, a stone's throw from the city's silk weaving roots in Spitalfields. Originally a maker of men's 'Scarves, Shawls and Plaids,' the company found a loyal following amongst both high fashion boutiques and conservative tailoring houses in the most discerning markets of Paris, Milan and Tokyo. The company soon began producing handmade ties and handkerchiefs under the watchful eye of eponymous founder, Michael Drake, which quickly took up his place at the heart of the business to this day.
