Newcastle · Home visits
Newcastle alterations, from Jesmond to the coast.
Quayside offices, Jesmond and Gosforth homes, Tynemouth by the sea — a fitter comes to you, pins the work on the body and returns it finished.
Alterations in Newcastle
Newcastle has a strong sense of occasion: race days at Gosforth Park, graduations, and weddings in Northumberland’s country houses and castles. The suit for each of them should fit as though it were cut for you.
Fittings take place at home, at work or in a hotel, and garments come back hung and pressed.
Visits across Tyneside are standard; rural Northumberland addresses may be scheduled on a set day. Express is not currently offered in Newcastle.
