As I’ve said before, one reason why I started J & E is because I am quite particular with my suits, and decided that instead of trying to perfect one bought off-the-rack, I’d create my own with my little idiosyncrasies. That’s what we do for clients. Also, working with Hugo Boss and Ralph Lauren gave me a real insight into style and design.
1) Choose your cloth
- Pattern
- Composition : wool, cotton…

3) Choose your features

etc….
4) Choose your style – hipster, contemporary, classic…….
- Fit – slim, tailored, classic, 1960s!!!
- Jacket & trouser length
- Waist suppression

- Hem width
- etc…
After all of that work in my pleasant office (or yours), our creation is presented to you for the first time within 6 weeks (closer to 4 tbh) for perfecting…then you’ll have a big smile on your wedding day, just like Paul here in his dark blue nail head!
