Eliptical hoop skirt

Mans Early Victorian Jacket

Early victorian jacket with stand up collar, double breasted, tails to the rear with vent and fully lined.
Normally the trousers would be a different shade to the jacket, but on this occassion we were asked to make them the same. The trousers are the same style as the ones below.
Jacket can be ordered at a cost of £95 plus material.

A Selection of Waistcoats

We can supply a variety of waistcoats , made to order, from £40 plus materials for a simple style. We can include various styles of collar, pockets with or without flaps and bound pockets.

This double breasted version is our Sweeney Todd waistcoat and this is £45 plus materials.

Fall front trousers

Our latest project was to make a pair of 1830/40's style trousers. These have a drop down flap front rather than a fly fastening. The check material makes a very dandy pair of trousers.

These can be custom made at £75 plus material, you can either go for a plaid or a plain fabric if you prefer.

Greenwich pensioners

We were recently asked to custom make child size replicas of the coats worn by Greenwich Naval pensioners, for use by a theatre company at Greenwich Museum.
The blue coat ws everyday wear, but the custard yellow and red was the "naughty" coat.
If you misbehaved, eg were drunk, you had to wear that for the day.
This was an interesting project as all we had to go on were some paintings of the pensioners. The pattern had to be designed and drawn up before we could embark on making the coats.
Clients were so satisfied with them that we were asked to make another two.
