Tailored Perfection in Green: A Groom’s Journey at the Jewellery Quarter
Planning a wedding is a journey of a thousand details, but for Groom Hugh, the centerpiece of that journey began in the heart of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter.
At A Hand Tailored Suit, we believe that a wedding suit should be as unique as the occasion itself. For Hugh’s upcoming August nuptials at the stunning Manor by the Lake in the Cotswolds, we are crafting a bespoke look that blends timeless elegance with personal flair.
The Vision: Deep Green & Merino Wool
For a summer wedding in the Cotswolds, fabric choice is everything. Hugh opted for a rich Green Merino Wool for the full three-piece ensemble. Merino provides a luxurious finish that breathes beautifully—essential for a 2:00 PM ceremony in the heat of August.
The Jacket: Bold & Sharp
The jacket is designed to make a statement. Featuring a 3.75" Peaked Lapel and a single-button (SB1) front, it strikes a balance between modern sharp-tailoring and classic formalwear.
- The Details: Slanted flapped pockets for a touch of hacking-jacket heritage, finished with ivory contrast buttonholes on the cuffs and a "Flash Cuff" for that extra bespoke signature.
- The Hidden Gem: Inside, the jacket is finished with a striking White Paisley framed lining.
The Waistcoat: Single-Breasted Elegance
To elevate the look further, the waistcoat is a Single-Breasted 5 Button design with no Lapel. This adds a layer of formality that ensures Hugh stands out even when the jacket comes off for the evening celebrations.
Personalized Down to the Thread
What makes a bespoke suit truly special are the elements you can’t find off-the-rack.
- The Shirt: A crisp white luxury cotton with a semi-cutaway collar and double cuffs. Look closely, and you’ll see green thread used inside the buttons to tie back to the suit.
- The Embroidery: To commemorate the day, the shirts feature custom embroidery: "Tamworth Groom"
-
The Accessories: A Jade Silk (Toe 075) tie adds the final tonal touch against the green wool.
And for the Four-Legged Guest...
No member of the family is left behind! We are delighted to be crafting a matching bowtie for the dog, ensuring the furry best man is just as dapper as the groom when walking down the aisle at the Manor.
The Roadmap to August 2nd
Bespoke tailoring is a process, not a purchase. Hugh’s journey follows a meticulous timeline to ensure a perfect fit for his August 2nd wedding:
| Phase | Timeline |
| Consultation | November – January |
| Order Placed | February – March |
| First Fitting | June |
| Final Touches | July |
| The Big Day | August 2nd at Manor by the Lake |
