Bespoke Tailor · Scotland
PETER JOHNSTON
Savile Row Bespoke · Made in Scotland

No shortcuts.
No compromises.

The finest hand-made bespoke tailoring in Scotland, cut by hand to Savile Row standards and fitted in person.

The House Cut

Synonymous with understated, effortless elegance: a unique cut, simple yet classic.

Eschewing bold logos and unnecessary ornament, our tailoring is defined by four principles: the finest materials, first-rate craftsmanship, traditional attention to detail and timeless functionality.

Bespoke Tailoring

Tailoring for every part of a gentleman's life.

I

Business

Sharp suiting and smart-casual tailoring, appropriate for the boardroom or more relaxed professional settings.

II

Casual

Sports jackets, blazers, overcoats and trousers designed for comfort and ease, ideal for weekends, holidays and business travel.

III

Formal

Evening dress (black tie), morning dress for weddings or racing, and full evening dress (white tie and tailcoat).

The Process

Consultation, pattern, fitting, finish.

Each commission begins with a private consultation and a careful choice of cloth. A personal paper pattern is drafted by hand, the cloth is cut by hand, and the garment is refined through fittings until balance and proportion are exactly right.

Two-piece suits begin at £4,500, with a typical turnaround of eight to ten weeks from the initial appointment.

From the finest mills of Britain.

Worsted suitings from the mills of Huddersfield, woollen flannels from the West of England, and the world's best cashmere and tweeds from the Scottish Borders, the Highlands and the islands of Harris and Shetland.

The Shop

Cashmere, made in Scotland.

The first objects from the house: the classic models of a gentleman's wardrobe in 100% cashmere. The crew neck, V-neck, polo shirt, cable knit, roll neck and cardigan, knitted in Hawick in the Scottish Borders and finished with genuine horn and mother-of-pearl buttons.

No blends and no seasonal designs. Each piece is made to sit beneath a bespoke jacket or stand on its own, and to be worn for decades. Available to order online.
