Appointment Guide
Your bespoke journey begins with a private appointment at Steed—a relaxed and personal experience designed just for you. During this exclusive one-on-one meeting, you’ll have the undivided attention of Matthew, Edwin, or both.
You’ll discuss the garment you envision and the occasion for which it’s intended. We will then guide you through a curated selection of cuts, luxurious fabrics, and linings before taking precise measurements and detailed figuration notes.
1. Design & Style Consultation
Your appointment will begin with an informal, friendly chat over a cup of tea or coffee. We’ll ask you what you’re looking for, what styles you like and what occasion your commission is for.
If you have a particular idea in mind it may be useful to bring along images, although this is by no means vital. You may find it helpful to look to our gallery or Instagram account for inspiration.
2. Create your design
Once we have a good understanding of your commission requirements, we will show you fabrics carefully selected from a vast array of the finest UK & Italian-made fabrics.
You will be able to see the fabrics in different lights and handle them personally so you can feel the weight and textures. It’s important to do this in person, as photos on screens can be deceptive concerning colour, shades, and texture.
If you have something particular in mind we recommend sending photos or ideas to us before the appointment so we can ensure you get the most out of your appointment.
3. Measurements & Figuration
Edwin or Matthew will personally take over thirty different measurements and detailed figuration notes during your appointment to ensure your suit not only fits but emphasises your physique.
Once we have your measurements and figuration on file, you can order bespoke or Made-To-Measure from us in the future, without even coming into the showroom.
Matthew is always happy to personally post out fabric swatches from which you can peruse at your own leisure.
