Savile Row is the apotheosis of taste, elegance and style. For more than 200 years, the world's most skilful tailors have been drawn to the "Street of a Thousand Needles", cutting and crafting the finest suits for generations of elegant dressers.

Established in 1938, Maurice Sedwell went on to win the Gold medal for tailoring from the Tailor and Cutter Academy in 1956. Thereafter it was a natural progression to Savile Row and in 1963 the company moved to No 9. Then, as now, there was no flashiness, just unremitting quality, style and elegance. Today this reputation is as solid as ever; politicians, captains of industry and international business people from all over the world make their way to Maurice Sedwell with the knowledge and comfort that they will be dressed to perfection.

This commitment to the ideals of exacting workmanship coupled with customer service resulted in our referral to, and subsequent membership of, The Guild of Master Craftsmen. We became the first Savile Row tailor to receive the Guild's accolade for Quality & Service and their Armorial Bearing for Skill & Intergrity. In 1994 Maurice Sedwell took over Tommy Nutter and expanded into his elegant new premises at No 19, in response to the increasing demand for our services.

Maurice Sedwell is justifiably proud of its hard-earned reputation for excellent client care. This precise, all-round service and meticulous attention to detail is what endears us to our clients, many of whom return time and time again.

When we meet a new customer it is never just a simple business transaction - it is a consultation. We need to know all about them - their personality, lifestyle and career - characteristics that must be reflected in the suit. The customer has the unique opportunity to create exactly the suit they require. From the choice of cloth through to such details as the number and positioning of pockets and the shape of lapel, the customer has the freedom to design the suit which will meet his or her needs. This responsiveness to the client's requirements coupled with the benefit of our experience produces optimum results. For us, there is a big distinction between "good" and "perfect". It is paramount that we are entirely happy with the end product and the customer is confident in his, or her, sartorial presentation. This one-to-one personal care, allied to dedicated craftsmanship, is the rock upon which the Maurice Sedwell reputation was built and is still the hallmark of the company today.
