Discover, Design & Make Your Look

John Goodwin provides sartorial inspiration for men, creating beautifully made & impeccably styled Tailored and Ready-to-Wear clothing

How We Work

Choose the services right for you, from the direct Ready-to-Wear to the highly personal Tailoring.  

Buy Online, Ready-to-Wear

For a straightforward add-to-cart buying experience, browse and buy the garments as you see them on our website. They are then couriered to you, ready to wear. 

Buy In-Person, Tailoring

A full tailoring experience, this route offers the highest level of fabric and styling options. We follow our Discover, Design & Make process, meeting first online then in-person at your home or office.  

Tailoring - How we’ll work with you

Introduction

Starting with a half hour video call we introduce our service, how we use Looks to provide sartorial inspiration for you, then design and make any Look you want. It is also an opportunity to discuss your ideas and answer all your questions.

If you would like to book this introduction you can do this here.

Discover, Design & Make

Following this introduction we start with Discover. Gathering and sharing Looks with you online we discuss which ones you like most and using this as inspiration then Design your Look.

Once we have moved the Design forwards we then visit you at your home, bringing all the relevant fabrics, samples and patterns to confirm your selections then measure you for the garments we will be making.

Make

Usually taking around 6 to 8 weeks, we keep you updated with its progress and, when ready arrange to meet you again for a second fitting. If you are also ordering Ready-To-Wear garments, we may have couriered these to you before this point.

Second Fitting & Delivery

An opportunity to try your garments on for the first time. Often at this stage the garments are complete, however, if they would benefit from any adjusting we carry this out and then return for a final visit. Around this time we also advise how to take care of your garments.

Pricing

Each garment we make is priced individually and this is confirmed during Design. More information on this including the staggered payments during Discover, Design & Make can be found here.

From Their Looks (clockwise from top left)

Massimiliano Donnarumma

Massimiliano Donnarumma wearing a peak lapel taupe brown jacket in wool, silk and linen in a blue ‘self-design’ shirt. A summer occasion Look which could also be worn for business depending on the industry. Soft blue and light brown colours look great together. 

Adriano Dirnelli

Man with club stripe tie wearing a Look for the summer circuit. Three button, notch lapel jacket using a plaid check, worn with white cotton trousers, white semi cutaway shirt and finished with a maroon club stripe tie and pilot’s case. 

Unknown

Man wearing coat with upturned collar. A navy blue jacket worn under a light weight silver grey coat with an american tab button down shirt with grey bengal stripe, finished with textured solid grey tie. We like how the grey coat ties in with the shirt and tie. The pairing with navy blue works well too.

MenStyleFashionBlog

Man leaning on wall wearing a taupe colored cotton suit with plain fronted trousers  with belt loops with a blue shirt and pochette. A Look for summer receptions and weddings. We love the colour combination and the inherent ‘coolness’ of this cotton suit.

Design

Various global fashion houses partner with the same tailoring companies John Goodwin does because of their versatility - they make virtually any design. Compared to many bespoke tailors with a narrower design portfolio we have far more opportunities in terms styling.

John Goodwin designs and makes garments for work, the weekend and special occasions. Tailored & Ready-to-Wear suits, jackets, trousers, waistcoats, overcoats and shirts; Ready-to-Wear knitwear, shoes, ties, socks, jeans, casual trousers and jackets and raincoats.

For our fabrics, we partner with world renowned textile companies including Loro Piana, Scabal, Holland & Sherry, Dugdale and Harrisons. A curation of these fabrics are available in the Fabric Library. 

Every tailored garment is cut and made for the client. To show the client the look and feel of the garments we use a selection on samples and 'try-ons'. We also use these when taking measurements.

We use various Patterns when designing and making our garments. For jacketing we have our SartorialSoft and Super Soft Patterns and each on is available on our two labels - White Label and Black Label. Descriptions of each of the Patterns can be found on the Styling page.
