The House Style
The building block of our tailoring service, the Bryceland's house style was developed in partnership with W.W. Chan in Hong Kong.
The Made to Measure service we offer is an expression of our tastes as well as a desire to help our customers find and develop tailoring which showcases their own unique style and taste.
Single Breasted
Designed to drape and hang beautifully, rather than closely contour the body, a dramatic wide lapel and low gorge fall into an elegant 3/2 roll sitting alongside a soft, broad shoulder and fuller fitting silhouette.
Double Breasted
Bearing the same soft extended shoulder as it's single breasted equivalent; the Double Breasted block has a wide peak lapel with a generously rounded belly, 6x4 closure, and a single Barchetta breast pocket and jetted pockets.
First Consultation
Before each fitting we discuss your inspiration and requirements, so as to better understand your wants and needs for a custom garment. This allows us to discuss and guide through our fabric selections, and ways in which the finished garment can be worn.
The process then begins in earnest with our in-house sizing garments. Once the most appropriate fitting block size has been found, we then move onto the process of marking out any adjustments to the pattern to fit your frame. Once satisfied with the amendments to the block garment, we then move onto more personal and, arguably, intersesting details: styling aims and details for the garment in question. Be it a classic two piece Navy suit, or Tweed Sport Jacket with seprate trousers, we welcome a suitable amount of customisation to your garment to truly make it yours, without straying too far from our initial foundations.
In store we have numerous cloths available to choose from. Predominantly our curated selection comes from reputable British mills; including but not limited to: Fox Brothers, Dugdale, Holland and Sherry, Standeven and Harrisons. We also, on occasion, have a small variety of deadstock lengths available to choose from. In addition, if you have a particular cloth/mill in mind, we will accommodate wherever possible, however lead times may be affected.
Construction
Each garment is individually worked on by master craftsmen and women using traditional Shanghainese methods with production being approximately 95% hand-finished. This includes the cutting, basting, lining, collar backing, buttonholes and shaping.
All of our jackets are fully canvassed with a floating horsehair canvas so that the garment moulds to your form over time, and hand padded lapels to create a natural and subtle belly.
Fitting
Around 8-10 weeks after your first consultation, your new Made To Measure garment will arrive with us in store ready for a second and final fitting.
With our house cut being fuller through the body so as to drape along the wearers natural shape, we find little to no alterations are generally required -predominantly the finishing of trouser lengths, subtle adjustments to sleeve lengths - allowing you to walk away with a finished garment, designed and crafted specifically for you after no more than two fittings.
