Testimonials
A genuinely nice guy
Got to know Jim through “winning” a silent auction at a charity event. Can’t praise the quality of service and the final product highly enough. A genuinely nice guy and I will be a return customer without doubt.
Best looking and comfiest suit I’d ever tried on
I contacted Jim in the hopes of buying my first suit that actually fits me. Well, not only did I receive the best looking and comfiest suit I’d ever tried on, but I thoroughly enjoyed the bespoke experience. Jim offers a huge selection of materials and styles which he masterfully coaches you through with his professionalism and knowledge. Very well priced with no extra costs, I will 100% be looking to get Jim designing and advising me on future suits.
Faultless quality and attention to detail
I cannot recommend the quality & professionalism of Jim (JS Tailoring) enough. From measuring up, to cloth selections & to final fit, Jim was able to assist in creating the most classy, stunning suit I could have dreamt of.
For years I’ve been competing in shop bought waistcoat, trousers & shirts in snooker tournaments, and I had become used to the poor fitting components of my suits.
Since receiving my tailor made suit I cannot believe the difference. The faultless quality and attention to detail really makes me feel like I stand out. Most importantly it’s durability & comfort is second to none, which is extremely important to me whilst competing.
Can’t thank you enough JS Tailoring.
Fantastic all round
Could not be more chuffed with my first tailored suit from Jim Smith (JS Tailoring), the whole experience was extraordinarily professionally done, particularly in these difficult and unchartered covid affected times. The suit and the experience in itself is to be highly recommended but the added bonus of being able to do everything in your own home with one individual is a massive added bonus…..fantastic all round.
Wealth of knowledge and well placed advice
Owning a bespoke suit has been a desire of mine for years, hesitancy about not knowing what to ask for or how had been a large part of why I hadn’t taken the leap sooner. My wedding day however proved the ideal push to take the plunge and with an equally strong desire to support local business I found JS Tailoring.
From our first contact Jim placed me entirely at ease and once we had met at my home his easy approachable manner combined with a wealth of knowledge and well placed advice meant I knew I had chosen well.
The results were simply superb, I hadn’t imagined how comfortable, flattering and impressive a well tailored suit could be.
I can heartily and without reservation recommend Jim and JS Tailoring.
Great personal service from Jim
JS Tailoring will always be my first choice for suits. I wear his suits both professional and personally. In my role, I take over 300 flights a year so probably put more pressure on my suits than most but the quality and durability of the suits have meant I always look and feel good regardless of where I am in the world. Great personal service from Jim and fast turnaround, along with fast follow up when additional items were requested.
His manner and professionalism have shone
I met Jim after I had bid for a tailor made suit at an auction in support of the Richmond Heavies Foundation. From the moment Jim contacted me to the finished suit, his manner and professionalism have shone throughout the process. In fact, so much so, I immediately ordered a second suit on delivery of the first! In addition, Jim has now made tailored suits for my three colleagues too…”
My only regret? I should have ordered more!
For years I have become used to ill fitting shirts through the auspices of Armed Forces suppliers and mass produced items in various shops. None of these fitted my somewhat ‘different’ frame of wide shoulders and chest and slightly less thick waist. I decided that enough was enough and contacted Jim who guided me through all the choices on offer (who knew there was SO much choice in fabrics and styles to be had?). What do I have now? In a very short timescale I have shirts that not only fit my shape perfectly but look fantastic. My only regret? I should have ordered more! Once I have lost perhaps another inch from my waist this is something I shall certainly be remedying.
Nothing is too much trouble
Jim combines great personal service with an excellent end product. Nothing is too much trouble – highly recommended.
Jim’s guidance and knowledge is invaluable
I have been extremely impressed with the personalised service received from Jim, from my initial consultation to receiving my finished garments.
Jim’s guidance and knowledge is invaluable and with his expertise I have had bespoke garments that are of the highest quality.
I have no hesitation in recommending JS Tailoring.
Very knowledgeable with his advice
I have have been using Jim for my suits for a few years now. From fancy statement and occasion pieces to sharp work suits, Jim always delivers. He is very knowledgeable with his advice and very tolerant of my incredible fussiness. I’ll be back for more.
A stunning suit fit for the occasion
I found J S Tailoring whilst looking for a suit for my wedding, with his friendly, professional service Jim made the whole experience most enjoyable whilst his guidance on the finer details and finishing touches was invaluable to produce a stunning suit fit for the occasion and one that will last for years.
Since discovering the joy of tailor made clothing, I have since used Jim for a selection of fine shirts and an overcoat, all of which have attracted attention when worn, and I will certainly be going back for more.
For stunning quality, impeccable service plus good value I would recommend J S Tailoring to anyone.
A sheer pleasure to do business with
I’ve known Jim for over 10 years but only recently used his services for two suits. I must say Jim’s professional approach is impeccable and a sheer pleasure to do business with. He was punctual for the appointments and made the whole process a pleasure. Jim brought the suits and when I tried them on lst thought wow ! But Jim being the perfectionist he is wasn’t happy with the jackets and wanted them altering slightly. On the second fitting they were superb. Jims attention to detail is unparalleled and such a great guy to do business with, something that’s rare these days. If your in the market for a bespoke suit go to Jim you won’t be disappointed .
My special needs as a wheelchair user catered for
Just had my first suit tailored by J S Tailoring. Impeccable, friendly, home service from Jim. My special needs as a wheelchair user catered for without any trouble or concerns. He really knows his suits. I’ve worn suits for many years before, even major labels, but this suit I’ve had sized, made and delivered is incredible, the lightest suit, beautiful material, made with real care and attention. Time to start saving for the next one! Thanks Jim.
Razor sharp suit to beat any London tailor charging twice the price
Jim provides a first class service, combining a large range of cloth to choose from, with advice on linings, embellishments and overall style. The end result is a razor sharp suit to beat any London tailor charging twice the price. Highly recommended.
Surpassed my expectations
I have no hesitation in recommending JS Tailoring.
Having suits made with varying degrees of success by other tailors I was a little apprehensive about the finished article.
Being well over 6′ and 20 odd stone I can’t get suits off the peg and previous tailors attempts were disappointing and took ages to arrive.
I need not have worried.
The suit I received from Jim fitted perfectly and the detail and level of service provided by Jim is excellent. On shirts he even asked what arm I wear my watch to make the cuff slightly bigger on that side!.
The quality of the clothing I received surpassed my expectations and the price was definitely reasonable considering the quality of materials used, workmanship and fit.
Great value for money in my opinion.
I will be using Jim for all my tailoring needs and can’t think of a better experience for anyone looking to get a lovely suit made!
Superb tailoring
To describe the service and quality of Jim’s work as ‘Exceptional’ would be an under statement. The commitment to such excellence and dedication can only be reflected in the superb tailoring that I have experienced with Jim over the last 3 years and hope to continue for many years.
Expertise and friendly/personal approach
Even if I hadn’t known Jim through our footballing playing days, it would have been easy to have acquired a tailored suit from Jim as he has a very good persona about him and ultimately knows how to create the ideal suit. I am 6′ 6″ and don’t have the benefit of being able to pick a suit up off the rail, so it’s important that I get longevity and good quality from the clothes I wear and that’s where Jim comes into his element with his expertise and friendly/personal approach. I would recommend anyone that needs some tailored clothes to speak to Jim in the first instance as you will not be disappointed.
Jim made me feel totally at ease throughout the process
I was told all about Jim from a lady at a networking event after explaining I was looking to purchase a tweed jacket. As a member of a local shoot, it was imperative that any jacket had to look the part but be hard wearing. I expected a bespoke jacket to be far more expensive than off the peg – not so. Jim’s prices are comparable to any of the country suppliers, but I have a jacket that not only looks good but is totally individual and the envy of all the members of the shoot. From a woman’s point of view, Jim made me feel totally at ease throughout the process, no detail was too much for him. An amazing gentleman and tailor.
Personal service you will fail to get anywhere else
I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim for over 12 years and was delighted when he started JS Tailoring. I have bought many suits from Jim over the years. Jim’s service is second to none, providing a personal service to your work or home, hand delivered by the man himself and at a competitive price. Jim has also helped me with our corporate clothing requirements. Jim has sorted suits for members of staff, shirts, ties and T Shirts for events including embroidery requirements. Jim will not let you down and will provide you with a competitively priced, personal service you will fail to get anywhere else.
Always delivers
Jim has been making my smart clothes for the last 10 years. He puts up with a lot but always delivers and often rightly advises me away from the less than classical look. I have recommended him to several friends and anyone who can make Ben Kay look half decent must be bloody good!
I cannot recommend him highly enough
I have used Jim (JS Tailoring) to equip me with made to measure suits and shirts for the last 5 years. The personal service he provides is outstanding and the quality of clothing is excellent. I also now buy shoes and other dress accessories from him because of the fantastic personal service he provides, fitting his visits around my very busy business schedule. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Jim’s services save me time and money
One assumes the term “bespoke” to be expensive, but for me, using Jim’s services saves me time and money by not having to travel to London – from where I live that is a considerable saving.
Jim will provide the very highest level of service
Jim’s been suiting me for over 10 years now. He has a vast range of cloth and style options and his made suits and shirts are truly awesome!! Recommending Jim to my associates comes naturally as I know that Jim will provide the very highest level of service.
The quality of the suits is excellent
I have used JS tailoring for the last few years for a number of suits. Jim’s service is personal and the quality of the suits is excellent. I’d highly recommend JS Tailoring to others.
Delivered the best results in all my years of buying bespoke clothing
Just a brief note to thank you for your superb service and for a quite excellent set of suits and tailored sports jackets. I have been having suits made for nearly 30 years, and I can only say that you have delivered the best results in all my years of buying bespoke clothing – thank you! Added to which, you encouraged me to be more daring than usual, and the results are great – my wife no longer recognises me!
Truly first class level of service and customer care
I have had the pleasure of ordering some excellent suits from Jim Smith who provides a truly first class level of service and customer care, and I would have no hesitation in recommending his tailoring skills.
Brings decades of industry knowledge, skills and experience
In the 21st Century, an appalling lack of dedicated menswear outlets and a dearth of artisan tailors means, it is no longer easy for a self respecting man to dress well; off the rack options are not always well made and rarely fit perfectly without adjustments. Jim Smith Tailoring bucks the trend, offering you a rare opportunity to access made to measure menswear with a detailed range of options all delivered to your door.
Having benefitted several times from Jim’s highly valued service, I now enjoy wearing perfectly fitting shirts, trousers and suits – he does adjustments too. Jim’s dedication to customer service is assiduous and judicious, whilst he brings decades of industry knowledge, skills and experience, he helps you to craft your new clothes just as little or as much as you personally require.
If you feel the need to get dressed properly Jim is your man. Wholeheartedly recommend.
Now my only choice when I need a wardrobe refresh
The whole experience of having my suits made by Jim was an absolute pleasure. No attention to detail was missed, from choosing the fabrics, styling features, right down to the thread colours and buttons. Even though a number of different fittings were needed, Jim was always happy to accommodate with timings and you can set your watch by his punctuality!!!
I really can’t recommend Jim enough and he’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The suits he’s made me fit perfectly and are of beautiful quality. He’s certainly now my only choice when I need a wardrobe refresh.
A very special garment that will be worn with pride
I had the very good fortune of bidding for a 2 piece suits at a charity auction which Jim had very generously gifted to said charity.
From then on I have been blown away with the experience.
Jim called me possibly within 48 hours of “winning” the silent auction, chatty fellow, who could not have been more accommodating to fixing a mutually agreeable date to come to my HOME and measure me up and show me samples.
Less than 2 weeks later this incredibly well dressed 3 piece suit, hanky in top pocket, smart looking gentleman arrives with a beaming genuine smile, he is carrying one of those large very smart black leather square briefcase, even this seems it has been polished before leaving home!
After several minutes of very entertaining, “good chat” we got down to business… in the polished black case were a full, neatly packed of coarse array of sample material books and within a very short time, I had established the velvet needed for a smoking jacket, during which time whilst choosing Jim had already pretty much worked out the type of lining I would want, 2 or 3 button cuffs, initials on inside pocket and centre or side vent on the tail, it was like he had known me my style and my habits all my life.
Breve in! Quick swich round with the tape, I don’t think they ask any more what pocket do you keep your wallet in, or if you do, Jim had realised that mine was quite slim and didn’t vouch for any excess material, as for the other question… maybe he applied the same principle!!!
Rather embarrassingly I removed our blond dog hair from Jim’s beautiful cut suit and we bid farewell to each other.
Possibly about 8 weeks later, and we have had Christmas in between, I see JS tailoring name come up on my phone and with excited anticipation answered and naturally it was Jim who had been fishing for a week and I don’t just mean fishing .. if you are lucky enough to meet Jim … check his photos out ….. these are not white bait or stickle backs … they are enormous, needed 2 people to carry them and all caught on a line …. WOW !
To cut a very long story short … as I can see you all losing interest …
First fitting needed some minor adjustments and Jim again went on his way to return a few weeks later .
I put the final article on and oh my word, how happy was I? words do not really describe my euphoria, that feeling that this is a very special garment that will be worn with pride and never be taken off and left on the floor, no matter how late I arrive home, this needs a special coat hanger, a special case and a dark undisturbed corner of my wardrobe to rest.
Thank you Sir Jim!
Highest of professional standards
To own a professionally tailored suit has been something I had aspired to achieve for many years. When the opportunity arrived there was only one person I had in mind to contact, and that was Jim Smith at JS Tailoring. I’ve been aware of Jim since his days at Burtons, and had heard many a positive report from a variety of local business people since establishing his own business a few years ago. The whole experience didn’t disappoint, from the initial contact Jim conducted himself as the ultimate professional. The process in deciding the style of suites, and which fabrics to use, from the hundreds of samples was made all that easier by drawing upon Jim’s many many years of experience. The attention to detail was fantastic to witness as we collectively discussed every finer detail. The number of buttons the jackets would have, the lining material, the angle of pockets, to have a button hole or not, etc. As soon as the suits were available a fitting was arranged. Jim insisted on a couple of very minor tweaks to ensure the perfect fit. I couldn’t recommend JST highly enough. Jim conducts himself to the highest of professional standards, and the product is just first class.
Excellent advice, a keen eye for detail and quality tailoring
I met Jim as a result of a successful bid in a blind auction at a charity event for the Matt Hampson Foundation. From our first phone call to schedule an initial meeting to discuss styles, all the way through to the final fitting, Jim has been a man of his word. Excellent advice, a keen eye for detail and quality tailoring, all the ingredients for a perfect suit. I will certainly be looking for more suits and shirts from Jim in the years ahead.
Delighted with all the suits I have ordered
I was introduced to Jim through a friend, and have been delighted with all the suits I have ordered. I have always struggled to find off the peg suits to fit, so having Jim arrive with a suit (or three!) that just fits instantly is a delight. I’ve had business suits, dinner jackets and tweeds and they have all been perfect. I can highly recommend his tailoring skills.
Delivered exactly what he promised
I have used Jim’s services a number of times now – 3 piece suit, shirts and alterations to some ready made garments. Every time he has been professional, fun and knowledgeable with an enormous range of fabrics and designs to choose from. He has always given me good advice and delivered exactly what he promised. I will be a regular customer for years to come.
Excellent service and a quality end product
I was introduced to Jim via a business networking event and delighted I was. Jim has supplied me with various shirts, suits, trousers and jackets, all of which start with some expert guidance from Jim to select the cloth and design followed by excellent service and a quality end product. I have no hesitation in recommending Jim whether it be for work shirts, a work suit or something for a special occasion. The only downside is my wife has now realised he also supplies Ladies wear and has recently ordered a new tweed jacket!
Allows me to feel confident when meeting clients
For many years I considered myself abnormal… Long arms, big shoulders, a thin waist and short legs (basically a modern day Gorilla). Shopping for a suit was similar to putting a square peg in a round hole and as you can imagine the end result was a disaster – thank god for my amazing looks and charming personality. Luckily I met Jim – Jim took me under his wing, showed me the error of my ways and guided me to greatness. No longer shall I pick up a suit up off the shelf and think “that’ll do Kong, that’ll do..” I suppose deep down I wanted much more from a suit than it just to fit, but also a quality that can promote me and my business and allow me to feel confident when meeting clients. He hasn’t admitted it yet but I’m certain Jim made the suits for the Anchorman film “suits so fine they make Sinatra look like a hobo!” I think that’s the best way to describe his suits. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jim and can’t wait to get another one to match my new dancing shoes.
The process was quick, fun and above all, very professional
Having done some research, I made the decision to contact Jim at JS Tailoring to make 2 suits; 1 business and 1 a bit more funky.
From the beginning to end, the process was quick, fun and above all, very professional. If you are looking for great service, a huge selection of fabrics (all from the UK) and a perfect end result, then do not hesitate to give Jim a call, you won’t regret it!
PS – the shoes are without doubt THE best I have ever had.
First class service
I have just used Jim for a tailored 3 piece suit together with shirt and shoes for my wedding. First class service throughout from measurement to fitting. Will certainly use again.
Absolutely stunning and fitted perfectly
I have used Jim over the past three years for various clothing items from bespoke designer shirts to a bespoke tuxedo. The tuxedo is absolutely stunning and fitted perfectly, with all the embellishment just as I required.
Shirts are always first class, stylish and very different.
Jim has always provided an excellent end product which shows the time he has invested in the attention to detail, and the quality of the materials used is very good.
Jim is always prompt with appointments and dealt with myself in an extremely professional way. The choice and range of products and designs is excellent. Having all this brought to the door is the ultimate in time management for busy professionals. I can highly recommend JS Tailoring as a vey professional business and Jim as an excellent tailor.
Superb material and cut to perfection
I have recently come into contact with Jim Smith and his tailoring firm after considering many alternatives over the internet. All of which were extortionate in terms of price and require a number of fittings that need you to travel to a retail outlet which may not always be convenient. Jim provides an efficient, professional and personal service at your office or home and gives sound advice on style, cloth and accessories.
I have just received my first suit from Jim that required no adjustments to the garment and the same goes for the shirt he supplied, which is made of superb material and cut to perfection for a rather short dumpy person like myself.
An excellent service Jim and hopefully I will be ordering more products from you in the very near future.
Unique, superb quality and fits like a glove
Jim has provided me with a stunning bespoke suit that is unique, superb quality and fits like a glove! Fantastic choice of cloth and personal touch makes it more a pleasure than a chore; just arranged fitting for a second 3 piece and no doubt will call on Jim again in the future
Great service, excellent quality
This guy knows his stuff. If he can make me look good he must do. Great service, excellent quality and a very long tape measure
More than delighted
I’ve been using Jim, JS Tailoring, for a number of years & I am pleased to say that I have been more than delighted with both the service & quality of suits and shirts provided.
Jim’s attention to detail and choice of cloth are second to none
JS Tailoring has enabled me to wear a suit and finally feel comfortable! When you are in a wheelchair, it is very difficult to find a suit off the peg that fits and looks stylish. I have had both suits and coats made by Jim for a number of years and he always seems to get it right. Jim’s attention to detail and choice of cloth are second to none.
I wouldn’t look anywhere else for my tailoring
I have been using Jim’s services for over 12 years now and can honestly say I wouldn’t look anywhere else for my tailoring. Of course he ensures a perfect and stylish fit but it’s more than that. I like to buy off someone I trust and Jim learns your tastes and advises with options from an extensive range that, without his help, could become daunting. Most of all he is a good bloke which is why he is no longer my tailor but a friend.
Meticulous in his measurements
Jim is very friendly and helpful in choosing the right cloth and style, meticulous in his measurements and reliable with his delivery dates. I have had two suits from him this year and I am delighted with them both.
Cannot recommend his tailoring skills highly enough
Jim is very personable; his dress sense is very different from mine!! However, I’ve been more than delighted with the suits Jim’s made for me over the years and cannot recommend his tailoring skills highly enough.
I used to buy shirts & suits from Savile Row thinking I was getting the best. Then I found out about Jim. His professional, friendly manner and punctuality are second to none.
His ability, exciting ideas, quality and prices have really impressed me. I would truly recommend Jim to anyone who loves quality tasteful clothing, and an exceptional service.
He knows his stuff; the cloths are exceptional
Yet again, I’ve just had someone admire my bespoke shirt and ask where I got it. This happens on a regular basis. And yet again, I’ve just recommended JS Tailoring as my tailor. I said of Jim “he’s good, very good”. That’s one of the highest compliments I can make of Jim; one of the things I like about him. I don’t need a tailor who makes a song and dance about what he does; I just need someone who is really good. Jim goes about his business with complete professionalism; he knows his stuff; the cloths are exceptional; Jim’s dress sense ideas are sometimes wonderfully outrageous but they work; the prices are better than you might fear for made to measure; and Jim simply delivers fantastic bespoke tailoring time after time. I have used JS Tailoring for my bespoke suits, shirts and ties for 6 years now. I once made the mistake of trying elsewhere, but came running back to Jim asking forgiveness. Would I recommend JS Tailoring? Yes, Jim’s good. Very good.
A pleasure to work with
As a businessman involved in Engineering, Healthcare & Industrial properties, quality, reliability & excellence are paramount. Since I’ve known Jim, he’s demonstrated all those qualities in profusion!! He makes suits, shirts, jackets & trousers for me that fit perfectly, that have style & make me feel good.
He’s punctual & if he says something is going to happen, it happens. He’s very price competitive & the luxury of being able to choose my clothes in the comfort of my office or home makes my life so much easier.
He’s the consummate professional, very personable, a pleasure to work with & I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him.
Friendly, efficient and professional service
I have utilised your services for many years now, and as always, I was totally satisfied with your friendly, efficient and professional service. The suit was exactly what I wanted – well fitted and very good quality at a reasonable price and I would not hesitate to recommend you to others.
