What a gorgeous spot for a getaway.

Full details about this jacket are fully embargoed until after the client’s wedding but I had to share some details because it’s always a good day when you see a Bateman Ogden label on the inside of a commission.

We're looking forward to being Saturday's Carlisle United Football Club home game with Hornchurch FC. The first home game of the season the team have made so far but I'm sure it won't be the last.

WIll you be there?

Looking for something special? As a Carlisle based tailoring studio we are lucky to have Linton Tweeds almost on our doorstep.

Famous for their beautiful colourful and highly decorative tweeds used by Chanel, Dior, and Dolci & Gabana amongst others, they are without question ladies tweeds of distinction.

We are delighted to offer Linton Tweeds to our clients in both our Carlisle and Newcastle studios.

Perfect for celebrations, special occasions, race days or just looking incredible on a rainy Wednesday, we’d love to chat to you about your Linton Tweed jacket or suit

It is always a pleasure welcoming a client into the studio for the first time, most often a made-to-measure suit. Getting that initial fit exactly right is a great starting point.

What I really enjoy is what happens next. Once clients experience the fit, they realise it does not have to stop at suits. They return for made-to-measure shirts, properly made trousers, and everyday chinos that look great.

Or, as you can see with Barry, they pop back for something a bit different. He returned for a fantastic pair of more casual tweed waistcoats, woven from superb William Bliss and Bateman Ogden cloths. (Bateman shown here)

It is simply about building a relationship and a wardrobe that works for you, piece by piece.

We’ve got a full weekend ahead of us at Tasker & Shaw. Hope you have a good one and remember that if you are out and about this weekend, open flames at the moment even if you think you can control them can create generational damage, so please don’t use disposable BBQs, fire pits or fireworks.
