Peckham Rye London

Founded in 1813, Peckham Rye has gone from a one man business into a globally recognised house of fine tailoring.
With a store just off Carnaby Street we paid them a visit prior to filming to get a sense for the place.

An Afternoon in W1S

With the filming dates creeping ever closer we took the opportunity to snoop around the workshops of the tailors who will be at the heart of the film.

Kathryn Sargent's studio just off Savile Row
Our first appointment added a much needed sense of femininity to the preconceived concept of the male dominated atmosphere that surrounds Savile Row, with the female tailor Kathryn Sargent welcoming us to her incredibly refined, and totally bespoke, studio. Constructed entirely in Britain, naturally.

A look inside the Henry Poole & CO Studio
Working away in the Chittleborough & Morgan studio a few doors down, apprentice Francis constructs a bespoke pair of trousers.
Chittleborough & Morgan hosted us, displaying their somewhat fashion-forward approach to tailoring.
