For Henry House, commissioning a suit for his wedding day was never simply about style.

It was about confidence.

It was about presence.

And it was about wearing something that truly worked for him.

“I came to Richard to make me a new suit for my wedding day. Naturally I wanted something that was going to fit properly and make me look great next to my beautiful bride.”

But as a wheelchair user, Henry explains that finding a suit which fits correctly — both aesthetically and practically — has rarely been straightforward.

Tailoring That Understands the Individual

“As a wheelchair user, I can often worry about how people will perceive me. If you aren’t feeling confident in what you are wearing, that really adds to the concern.”

Off-the-shelf suits had never quite worked. Jackets pulled awkwardly when seated. Trousers bunched. Proportions shifted.

From the first consultation, the conversation with Richard was different.

They spoke at length about:

• The shape of the jacket
• Sleeve length when seated
• How the cloth fell around the waist
• The amount of material in the trousers to prevent bunching

Nothing was assumed. Nothing rushed.

“Richard was meticulous in ensuring every detail of the suit was considered to meet my needs.”

That meticulousness is where true bespoke lives — in conversations that go beyond measurements.

A Suit That Changes How You’re Seen

When Henry first wore the finished suit, the difference was immediate.

“I felt so well catered for.”

The end result, he says, is something that allows people to look past the disability and simply see:

“A well presented man in an impeccably crafted suit.”

That line speaks volumes.

The lightweight sage green cloth was chosen carefully — elegant, contemporary, and versatile. The cut was balanced to his seated posture. The fit precise without compromise.

“I felt terrific. It was such a special day and I felt so comfortable and stylish wearing it.”

Confidence, in this context, is not superficial. It is transformative.

Considered Craftsmanship

Henry describes the entire process as “truly five star.”

From the outset, Richard offered expert guidance on cloths — discussing weight, drape, and durability without steering him towards any single option. Buttons and lining were discussed in detail. Each fitting was thorough, with amendments made no matter how small.

For the final fitting, Richard came to Henry’s home — an act that Henry describes as greatly appreciated.

That level of consideration isn’t an added service. It’s part of the foundation.

“The final result was everything I could ever want from a suit without any compromises.”

Confidence That Lasts

Although purchased for his wedding day, the suit’s lightweight cloth and considered cut make it incredibly versatile.

“The fit is perfect and incredibly comfortable to wear even for long periods.”

And when he puts it on now?

“The confidence a well fitted suit provides is invaluable. It makes me feel at my best.”

Perhaps that is the simplest way to define bespoke tailoring — not excess, not extravagance, but clothing that works exactly as it should, for the person wearing it.

Henry reflects on Richard’s passion for his craft — a skillset that feels rooted in tradition and experience.

“It is a privilege to own one of his suits.”

And he already has a list of future commissions in mind.

A Tailor’s Reflection

At RN Tailoring, bespoke means more than precise measurements. It means listening carefully, adapting thoughtfully, and crafting garments that honour the individual wearing them — without compromise.
