Last year, we started our ongoing Tailor’s Project by photographing and talking to some of the men and women who make up the unseen backbone of our industry; the coat and trouser makers who toil away behind the scenes.
These veterans of the grand tradition of bespoke tailoring have spent decades honing their talents, spinning yarns and keeping a tradition alive for the next generation of artisans to follow in their wake.
Before we shift our focus to some of the younger makers in our midst, we caught up with Chris; one of the many Soho tailors who came to London in his teens, importing some of the sartorial practice of his native country to the rich industry of West End tailoring.
