Assisi, the Korean tailors I’ve loved utilizing a lot over the previous yr, have introduced they’re coming to London for the primary time.
They are going to be right here on the finish of February, from Friday February twenty eighth to Sunday March 2nd. The situation is but to be confirmed, however it is going to be central, round Mayfair.
We will even be serving to them by organising a drinks occasion on the Thursday night time, the twenty seventh. I do know it may be intimidating to go and see a tailor and order one thing while you’ve by no means even seen the clothes in particular person. So this will probably be a chance to take action, and ebook an appointment if there are any left.
Assisi plan to go to twice a yr. This can be a little limiting, however on my expertise I would have a whole lot of confidence in them nailing the match shortly.
In addition they do a made-to-measure providing that could be very excessive finish. The make is identical as bespoke, they create becoming clothes to attempt on, and so they create a singular paper sample.
They then ship a completed go well with six months later, on the subsequent appointment. Minor adjustments like sleeve size and many others will be made at that stage, however in any other case it is thought of completed. I believe it might be a extremely fascinating means in for these on a extra restricted price range.
I’ve coated two issues I’ve had made up to now by Assisi – a double-breasted tweed jacket (above) and a summer season go well with (under). I have been actually impressed, each by the fashion and by the execution.
The primary jacket has some small issues I would change, however that was largely a results of me making an attempt to fiddle with the fashion an excessive amount of (reducing the gorge too far, creating barely smaller lapels). The go well with was excellent and I’ve just lately acquired a navy cashmere DB as properly, which I’ll cowl earlier than the trunk present.
I have never tried their single-breasted fashion up to now, however that is solely as a result of I just like the DB a lot and put on them so incessantly lately. I am going to doubtless attempt an SB at this present.
