Weddings over several days
When a wedding runs across several events, each suit or jacket needs to be right. Every piece is pinned on the wearer and returned pressed.

Leicester alterations, without leaving home.
Stoneygate and Knighton homes, Clarendon Park terraces, Oadby and Loughborough — we come to you, pin the work and return it finished.
Alterations in Leicester
Leicester has one of the busiest wedding calendars in the country, from British church weddings to South Asian celebrations that run across several days. Diwali on Belgrave Road and the season of family events that follows add to it.
We alter the men’s tailoring worn for all of these — suits, jackets, waistcoats and shirts — at your address.
Fittings can be at home, at work or in a hotel, and a family can be fitted together on one visit. Express is not currently offered in Leicester.
