The house is dedicated to intuitive design and creative thinking, each piece is cut, made and finished by hand on–site, where tradition and craft meets modernity. This exceptional craftsmanship serves not only clientele worldwide but also the dynamic world of film.
The brand name comes from the Anglo-Norman word meaning “to cut, sew or sculpt”, the Taillour team creates one-of-a-kind garments of the highest quality, ensuring timeless style, comfort and delight for every client. Each unique creation is infused with the wearers personality and individuality, underpinned by the house’s dedication to the art of tailoring.
Located at the end of a small cobbled alleyway in Spitalfields, East London, an area steeped in the rich history of the city's textile industry. The Taillour team works within a four-storey townhouse, enabling the entire bespoke process to be achieved under one roof.
“I'm intrigued by Fred's ability to create strong, angular lines and an expressive silhouette without the stiff formality of traditional British tailoring. Much of his film work also evokes a bygone era of classic men's tailoring that's hard to come by nowadays, even through bespoke.”
– Derek Guy (Die Workwear), menswear writer and commentator.
