Sackville Street
Ashby & Lowe has cut suits on Sackville Street since 1987. We are eleven people: two cutters, seven tailors, one finisher and someone who answers the phone. Nothing leaves the building until it is right.
A bespoke suit takes around fifty hours of handwork and three fittings. That sounds like a lot. It is. It's also why the suit will still fit you, and still look like you, in twenty years.
We cut for first-timers and for people who own forty suits. Both get the same coffee and the same attention.


Over four thousand bunches in the shop. Here are five we cut most often. Pick one and see the jacket change.





The banker's classic, softened. Stripes are matched across every seam, pocket and lapel by hand.
No shortcuts. You will see the suit three times before it's finished, each time a little closer to done.
We talk about how you live, what you wear and what you hate. Then we measure.
Your cutter drafts a paper pattern by hand. It's yours, and we keep it for life.
A loosely tacked suit, chalk marks everywhere. This is where the magic happens.
Forward fitting, final pressing, and you walk out wearing it.
Prices include VAT, all fittings and alterations for the first year.
The first appointment is free. Bring a suit you love, or one you hate: both tell us a lot.
