Made-to-measure suits by Richard Smith

Seven years rising through the ranks of Giorgio Armani, from stockroom to men’s formalwear, progressing to the highest level in Manchester, Collezioni white label.

With a degree in Design and Art from Manchester Metropolitan University combined with a passion for exquisite craftsmanship, sophisticated design and stunning materials, it was perhaps inevitable that in 2010 I’d set up my own label, combining the contemporary and the classic in Manchester city centre.

Richard Smith creates fully made to measure two piece and three piece suits using the very finest British and Italian fabrics.

A new made to measure suit starts with a discussion of all the design options available. From linings to lapel details, contrasting vents and buttonhole stitch to monograms, there are myriad options to consider.

If your suit is for a one-off occasion they can add the date to your suit – the perfect way to always remember your wedding anniversary!

And stunningly one-off pieces don’t stop at suits – they also create jackets, overcoats and more. Whether you’re after an everyday business shirt or something with a quirkier twist, a made to measure shirt will make you feel like a king.
