EXCEPTIONAL TAILORING. UNCOMPROMISING CRAFT.
Shooting Tailoring
Purpose-built tailoring for shooting and country pursuits. From traditional shooting jackets to refined alterations, our shooting tailoring focuses on fit, movement, and garments designed to perform in the field.
The Craft of Shooting Tailoring
Shooting tailoring demands a precise balance between tradition and function. Garments must allow unrestricted movement, hold their shape, and withstand extended wear — all while maintaining a refined, heritage aesthetic.
Each shooting tailoring commission is approached with care and understanding of how the garment will be worn in practice. From structured shooting jackets and breeks to waistcoats and coats, every piece is tailored to suit posture, layering, and range of motion.
Whether refining an existing garment or tailoring something new, our approach to shooting tailoring prioritises comfort, durability, and correct proportion. Nothing is decorative for decoration’s sake — every adjustment serves a practical purpose.

The Shooting Tailoring Process
Shooting tailoring should feel considered, knowledgeable, and straightforward.
Consultation
We discuss the type of shooting, the garment’s use, layering requirements, and how it needs to perform in the field.
Measurements & Fitting
Measurements are taken with posture, movement, and range of motion in mind, ensuring the garment allows freedom without compromising structure.
Tailoring & Refinement
Adjustments are made using traditional tailoring techniques, with attention paid to reinforcement, balance, and wearability.
Final Fitting
The finished garment is reviewed to ensure comfort, mobility, and a fit that feels natural during use.
The aim is simple: shooting clothing that performs properly and wears well over time.
