View Full Version : Tailors in South Wales area? scrappydoo 20 September 2007, 04:09 Right guys, ive got a wedding to go to in a couple of months times and want to look great. Im looking for a friendly tailor in the south wales area who measures you up and then spends weeks making your desired suit. (couple of hundred quit). Not any old tom though.. someone who actually has taste.. Any ideas? Cheers MikeCardiff 20 September 2007, 08:04 Are Moss Bros still on the Hayes in Cardiff ? they used to do made to measure stuff as my father used to get his dress uniforms done there - might be worth a try. Blue Dragoon 20 September 2007, 08:24 Calders is a bespoke tailors opposite the castle, loads of Barber, tweed and long socks. Not cheap, very "suit you sir" but quality. Have had to get some stuff there myself. They have some top notch pinstripes reduced by 50% to £210 at the mo. MikeCardiff 20 September 2007, 08:57 #3 Ha - that just reminded me of the time I went with my father to Moss Bros - the personal tailor was this short grey haired bloke ( looked exactly like you would imagine a tailor to look like ) had the tape measure round the neck, the weird chalk thing they use etc... I've never seen anyone fawn over someone so much in my life - he was 'yes squadron leader, no squadron leader' all the time - I was only about 12 and knew my father was quite a high rank as far as the RAF goes, but had never really had much experience of how much people brown nosed him other than people saluting him at the air shows we used to get dragged to. scrappydoo 20 September 2007, 14:04 thanks fellas, sounds like you know what im looking for, lol!! will defo give them a try and see what they have to offer. cheers.
