As you are probably aware, bespoke tailoring in the UK is threatened by a lack of young tailors entering the profession. In March 2006, the City of Westminster reported that currently in the West End of London, 82% of the bespoke tailoring companies use external suppliers or tailors. The other 18% undertake the production from start to finish by themselves, but they are usually self-employed or family based with low output. Our mission is to save and bequeath Savile Row bespoke tailoring hand crafted and individually made technics and also to provide the best and professional Savile Row Quality bespoke tailoring services to bespoke tailoring companies.

In order to save the top bespoke tailoring industry and provide our company clients with the highest quality bespoke garments, We are investing heavily by engaging the professional and well-respected Savile Row tailors as our official training consultants to our workshop in China. Our professional tailors are trained by them twice every year.

Our appointed and well-respected Savile Row tailors go to China and take the machinery and the expertise with them and just re-create the workroom exactly as it is in Savile Row. In some cases you can even see an increase in quality. Our bespoke garments now are as good as Savile Row's and even some of the Savle Row tailors said our garments are better than some of the garments made in Savile Row. We have a professional bespoke tailoring quality control team in China as well.

On the other hand, the professional bespoke tailoring industry is dying in the UK and USA. Most of Savile Row tailors are over 60 years old. Without the external professional bespoke tailoring support, the industry will be gone within 20 years' time.

At the same time, we all know that some of the tailors at Savile Row are from Malaysia, China and other Asian countries. The question is whether the Country of Origin of bespoke garments is more important than the quality?

As long as the quality does not go down and the workshop has a professional bespoke tailoring quality control team with a good welfare policy for the tailors, do you mind where the products are made?
