Glenn Dickson from Northampton Saints Rugby team came in to us recently for a bespoke tailored wedding suit.Being a professional sportsman he found it difficult to fit in an off the peg suit not only because of baggy fit’s and a distinct lack of tailoring to fit his body shape correctly, but also with the added situation of having very athletic and toned leg and arm muscles it was difficult to get a slim tailored look that was required.
That’s where we came in! Whilst measuring Glenn we asked him a few questions about his troubles with finding the right fit in the past:
1. What’s the date you are getting married and where in New Zealand?
6th June, Stoneridge Estate, Queenstown, NZ
2. In the past what difficulties have you had when buying suits off the peg on the High Street?
Loose fitting in some places, to tight in others, uncomfortable.
3. Have you ever had made to measure garments before?
No, Never had made to measure before.
4. Is there a particular style element of a suit you like?
Like the slim fit style.
6. Will you have a Made to measure suit or shirt in the future ?
Absolutely!
Glenn was measured correctly and also his posture was taken into account. He chose a grey 3 piece wool and cashmere suit to benefit the winter weather in New Zealand for his wedding in June. Lining choice was also in the classic saints colours of green in the jacket lining and the back of the waistcoat. Glenn was also measured for a crisp white cotton fitted shirt with double cuff and cuff initials.
Here’s what the final result looked like:
So what did Glenn think of it?
The experience I received from firstly meeting Dean to having my suit beautifully made was the best service I have ever experienced.
Upon walking into his shop I felt like a long lost friend, he was welcoming and very thorough and I could tell he was an absolute professional. He further impressed me by the meticulous preparation he put in to making my suit, all aspects were covered in absolute detail.
I couldn’t have asked for a better end result and will continue to use his service at every opportunity.
Glenn was absolutely over the moon with the fit and comfort of he garment and we hope to see him again soon to help keep him looking as good off the pitch as he does on the pitch for Northampton Saints.
Thanks Glenn!
