Brook Taverner
Brook Taverner has been making men's suits and tailoring since 1912, and that is the whole of what we stock from it: tailored suit jackets and matching trousers, rather than any part of a workwear range.
What the range covers
This page holds the Brook Taverner lines The Stitch Factory stocks: three suit jackets and a pair of suit trousers. A suit jacket on its own is often what a business wants — a mens blazer over the company's own shirt and trousers, worn by a manager or a sales team who need to look dressed without a full matching suit. Each product page gives the cloth, the blend, the colour and the size range for that garment, so read those rather than judging from the photograph: cloth is most of what a jacket is.
Fit, cloth and colour
Tailoring is bought on fit more than on anything else. A classic fit leaves room through the chest and the waist and is the safer choice when you are ordering for a group whose measurements you do not have; a closer fit looks smarter on the person it was measured for and less forgiving on everyone else. The colours are the plain business ones — navy, charcoal and grey — which is what a corporate wardrobe is built on, and a jacket in one of those will sit with clothing from any of our other pages. Sizes are given as a chest measurement with a short, regular or long body length, and the length matters as much as the chest.
Who it suits
This is corporate clothing at its smartest: directors and management teams, sales and business-development staff who are in front of customers, estate agents and financial practices, hotel and venue front of house, and a company dressing a stand at a trade show. If you need something smart but less formal for the rest of the team, the Nimbus and Kustom Kit pages carry shirts, polos and softshells that sit under a jacket like this.
Embroidered in Sheffield
Tailoring can be embroidered with a company logo, done in-house at our Sheffield works, but it is worth a conversation first: on a suit a logo is normally small, discreet and placed where the lining and canvas will carry it, and some jackets are better left plain. A stitched crest on a breast pocket or a club badge on a blazer is the traditional arrangement and it works; a large logo on a tailored chest panel usually does not.
