Men’s Bespoke
Welcome to City Tailors services
Bespoke & Made-to-Measure Coats
A coat that fits over what you actually wear
A great coat should sit comfortably over layers, feel balanced through the shoulders, and hang cleanly without pulling.
We make coats made-to-measure and true bespoke – from everyday overcoats to structured statement pieces – designed around your body and your lifestyle.
Made-to-Measure: a tailored coat with clear guidance
We start from a proven coat block and refine the shoulder line, sleeve length, body shape and overall balance through fittings.
It’s ideal for classic wool coats, modern overcoats, and smart outerwear you’ll wear for years.
True Bespoke: drafted from scratch for special designs
True bespoke is ideal for unusual designs, special construction, or when you want the full process from pattern drafting to staged fittings.
We can also build coats in textured cloths and tweeds where structure and drape matter.
Coat styles we make
- Classic wool overcoats (single- or double-breasted)
- Peacoats and shorter coat styles
- Structured coats with higher build and more shape
- Tweed outerwear and textured cloths for seasonal wear
- Coat remakes: using a favourite coat as a reference (when suitable)
Typical starting prices
Starting prices include fabric from our standard ranges. If you’d like to use your own fabric, we can – we’ll confirm suitability and adjust the quote accordingly.
Final quotes depend on fabric choice, construction, and finishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a coat to fit over a suit or a thick knitwear?
A: Yes – we build the fit around how you’ll actually wear it.
Do I need to choose fabric before the consultation?
A: Not necessarily – we can advise on warmth, durability and drape during the appointment.
How many fittings are involved?
A: Usually 2-3 for made-to-measure; bespoke may need more depending on complexity.
Can you do tweeds?
A: Yes – tweeds can be a brilliant option for texture, warmth and longevity. We’ll recommend cloth weight by season.
