Create a custom Jackets with Baker & Reed
Our suits are carefully made by our skilled tailors. They create a unique pattern based on your measurements and chalk them directly upon the fabric of your choice.
The canvas is a layer between the suit fabric and the lining that gives the jacket its shape. All our quality canvas is made from the finest horsehair. To test your suit jacket for this feature of excellence, pinch the fabric slightly at the front. If the canvas is hand-stitched, you will feel an extra layer loose on the inside. If not, this means the suit fabric has been fused with glue.
The suit jacket shoulders should gently hug and encase yours, creating the perfect structure. To achieve this, our suits feature a small top shoulder canvas, and pads are manually attached. A further subtle enhancement is the use of cotton tapes to strengthen the shoulder seams.
