The Grand National Festival
Three days at Aintree each April. Suits for the races are best fitted a few weeks ahead, so the jacket and trousers are right on the day.

Liverpool alterations, ready for Aintree and beyond.
Georgian Quarter townhouses, Woolton and Allerton homes, offices off Old Hall Street — we come to you, pin the work and return it finished.
Alterations in Liverpool
Liverpool dresses up properly. The Grand National Festival at Aintree each April, a packed wedding season and nights out across the city all call for a suit that looks as though it was made for you.
We take in jackets, set sleeve lengths and hem trousers to the shoes you will wear, then return everything pressed.
Fittings can be at home, at work or in a hotel. Express is not currently offered in Liverpool, so for Aintree or a wedding date, the earlier the request the better.
