Three generations of tailors. One small workshop in Mayfair.
Whitfield & Sons has been cutting bespoke menswear from the same address since 1962. Suits, dinner jackets, morning dress, overcoats and everything between — all made by hand in our workshop above the shop.
We don't do made-to-measure or factory production. Every garment is fully bespoke — your own paper pattern, four fittings minimum, finished by hand. The same way it was done in 1962, and the same way it should still be done.

Four fittings. One garment. Months in the making.
Pattern
Measurements taken, paper pattern cut from scratch — yours alone, kept on file forever.
Baste
First fitting in basted form. We adjust the cloth, you see the silhouette taking shape.
Forward
Second and third fittings refine the cut — sleeves, lapels, balance, drape.
“I've had suits made all over the world. Nothing comes close to what Whitfield does — and nothing lasts as long.”
