SHThotWEDDINGS

Hey let's get married!

Those wonderful words that can send shivers down your spine...so much to plan and organise!

Well don't panic! We can help!

So many people leave thoughts of their attire to the last minute because they just don't know where to start. Look no further! We are here to help build suits, match up bridesmaids dresses and best man's ties, linings, make shirts, order ties and handkerchiefs and everything else you can imagine.

We are proud to have made all sorts of wonderful wedding suits for so many lovely clients. Everything from classic morning suits with brightly coloured waistcoats to Dinner Suits for that suave James Bond look, 3 piece tweed suits for an Autumn country wedding and even a strong blue lightweight mohair for a celebration in far off lands. The choice is endless, the choice is yours!

One of our British bespoke suits will take 8-10 weeks to build, this will give us plenty of time for fittings, whether its a morning suit or something totally individual that you fancy. We are here to advise, however, if you find images of a particular style that you like you can bring them along to our first meeting. As it is your big day you should know the colour scheme, or at least have good idea, so we can match up or compliment the wedding party. 

Now the BIG question, white or ivory??? That's not your complexion but the colour of the brides dress, if you are having a traditional wedding. It is vital that you match your shirt with the dress in order that nobody looks 'a bit off colour' in the photographs! This is of course unless you decide to wear a contrasting colour which can look incredible. Our British bespoke shirts take 4 weeks to make and you can choose not only the fit and the fabric but also the type of the collar and cuffs. We can also add that personal touch with embroidered initials.

So it's up to you

SHThotDONATION

Susannah Hall Tailors Joins Forces with Trinity Hospice

Susannah Hall Tailors has supported Trinity Hospice over the last few years and in April 2013 decided to get more involved by holding an event where clients were invited to bring in their old ill-fitting suits and jackets which would in turn be donated to Trinity Hospice. This was such a success that we have decided to make it an annual event. So if you have any garments to donate during April 2014 we will swap them for a £50 gift voucher that you can put towards your next bespoke order, one voucher per person.

Clare, our friend from Trinity Hospice, sent a few wonderful examples of how this particular charity has literally made peoples’ dreams come true at the most crucial time of their lives.

Trinity Hospice is often described as a ‘haven’ by patients and families who have spent time there.  The state-of-the-art inpatient centre and award winning gardens in Clapham provide a beautiful setting for Trinity’s expert care. But it’s not the facilities that make Trinity such a special place – it’s the people.

Trinity’s team of nurses, doctors and therapists care for over 2,000 terminally ill Londoners every year, and support their families, friends and carers. Trinity tries to give its patients as much independence, choice and control over their care as possible, and Trinity’s team goes above and beyond to make sure people at Trinity can spend their final days in the way they want.

This has included helping a patient to arrange a last-minute wedding at the hospice so that they could marry their partner. The ceremony was held in a room overlooking Trinity’s gardens and the couple invited their loved ones. Trinity’s nurses persuaded a local florist to donate flowers, and decorated the room to make sure everything was perfect for the big day.

Trinity’s nurses also helped a young patient to fulfill his life’s ambition of flying a plane, just a few days before he passed away. When the team learned of his wish, they looked into making it a reality and found a charity that had experience helping people with medical conditions to fly. A Trinity nurse went with him, not only to the airfield, but also in the plane itself to make sure that he received the care he needed while he realised his ultimate dream.

The team at Trinity have even helped a patient to return to their native Australia to spend their last days. The patient was at an advanced stage of illness, so Trinity’s staff needed to work quickly to ensure their wish could be fulfilled. It was difficult to get the right permissions to allow the patient to fly, but everyone worked tirelessly to cut through the red tape. A Trinity nurse accompanied the patient to Australia to ensure they received the best care on the flight. The patient was delighted to be reunited with family and friends, and was able to achieve their wish of dipping their feet in the Australian ocean before passing away just a few days later.  

Trinity understands that acts of kindness like these make such a difference to patients and their loved ones at a difficult and upsetting time. But Trinity cannot continue this incredible work, which is provided completely free of charge, without the support of local people. Trinity is a charity that receives less than a third of its funding from the government. This means it relies on donations to raise over £7 million each year in order to continue its work.

HONG KONG PHOOEY

 No wonder British companies like us who truly make in the UK are having such a hard time of it when we have to contend with this!

Here are two examples of emails that have been sent to me. The first from a solicitor I met recently who is as enraged as I am about this kind of behavior, and the second an email from one of the companies who had approached me directly asking if they could supply garments to my business

How are they able to get away with this type of advertising? There should be legislation in place to stop this and to protect honest UK manufactures and suppliers.

I received this response below after explaining to the company that I only use UK suppliers. They were happy to tell me that they have lots of UK customers who remove the Made In China labels and sell their garments as British. This is a SCAM! This is happening all the time and nobody is doing anything about it! This is as bad, if not worse, than the scam emails attempting to get your bank details, or telling you that you have won millions!

 This is a rip off. This is a lie!

We need to keep shouting about this in the hope that someone in a position of influence will hear us! This must stop and if you also believe as we do please let us know.
