New bespoke fabrics

It allows the client to personally design their very own fabric, which can feature any colour or combination of colours and design and a wide varety of weights. I of course am there to offer advice, based on my more than 47 years in bespoke tailoring, and help guide them through the whole design process.

I then arrange for the fabric to be produced on a wooden 100 year-old sample loom at a mill in Bradford, Yorkshire in the north of England where they have been producing woolen fabrics since 1875. It’s the old style loom that allows me to order the relatively small amount of cloth required for an individual suit.

It’s an exciting development as many of my clients have become increasingly interested in where and how their garments are made. This new service allows them to get much more involved in the process and it gives new meaning to the idea of personal style. It could be termed “bespoke from the beginning.”

Bespoke fabrics such as this have featured in Hollywood blockbusters and celebrity fashion shoots and on fashion catwalks in Europe.

I am pleased to say that an esteemed gentlemen from the legal profession here in Sydney, and a Cutler client of many years standing, has already ordered J. H. Cutler’s first length of bespoke fabric. It has just arrived at our premises in O’Connell Street and is ready for cutting. I can’t wait to see the finished result.

Ideal for both suits and jackets it is available in a selection of colours and patterns and I am selling it in Sydney to customers of both my bespoke tailoring business J. H. Cutler, and my made to measure London Style by John Cutler range.

It’s a perfect fabric that’s, excuse the pun, well suited to our Australian summer, which is now only a couple of weeks away.
