Made to measure blazers for golf clubs and other organisations

Made to measure blazers for golf clubs and other organisations

We provide made to measure blazers for many golf clubs and other organisations. 

These blazers are 100% wool, and are an excellent quality. They are available in a range of colours, with wine, navy, and green being the most popular.

A particularly attractive feature is the way the badge is embroidered directly onto the pocket during the made to measure process, rather than being a "patch" which is sewn onto the pocket after the jacket is made. This gives a much improved look.

You are welcome to call me in the shop in Brecon on 01874 623613 if you would like to discuss what I can offer in made to measure wool blazers.

Back to normal after the snow!

Back to normal after the snow!

Our online orders are now being dispatched as normal, now that most of the snow has melted and the roads are clear again.

Last week, deep snow and freezing weather meant that no collections were made from Brecon Post Office on two days, so some of our parcels were marooned for a while. We're glad to hear from customers that parcels sent last week have now arrived.

The photo shows a frozen waterfall in the Brecon Beacons, not far from our shop in Brecon.
