“Real luxury is understanding quality, and having the time to enjoy it.” – G. Bruce Boyer
Apsley Tailors stands as a distinguished name in the world of bespoke menswear, carrying a legacy of elegance that dates back to 1889. Originally founded on the principles of craftsmanship, precision and personal service, Apsley has remained steadfast in its commitment to sartorial excellence for well over a century. Originating from London’s tailoring scene to its modern global presence, Apsley continues to embody the timeless values of traditional tailoring while adapting to contemporary tastes.
As you would imagine from a bespoke tailor, at the heart of Apsley’s philosophy is individuality. Each garment produced by the tailoring house is meticulously crafted to reflect the personality and lifestyle of its wearer. During the process of crafting your garments, you are guided through a highly personalised process, from fabric selection (of which there are many!) to refining every detail of the cut and finish. Apsley’s dedication to their craft ensures that every suit, shirt, or overcoat is not merely clothing one wears, but a unique expression of style, chosen by you, for you. The brand’s skilled tailors combine heritage techniques with modern innovation, resulting in garments that offer both comfort and distinction.
For those not familiar with the brand, Apsley’s reputation extends far beyond the United Kingdom. With locations in London, Hong Kong, and Miami, the company has established itself as a global authority in bespoke tailoring. Its international clientele reflects a shared appreciation for quality and craftsmanship, reinforcing Apsley’s standing as a truly world- class tailor.
Headed up by Arshad Mahmood, Master Tailor & CEO, Apsley is a dedicated family business with a passion and heritage for bespoke tailoring and a company history enriched with prestigious partnerships and collaborations. The tailoring house has worked with the British Military and the Royal Navy, demonstrating its ability to meet the highest standards of precision and durability. Its association with the Royal Family, including garments created for the late Duke of Edinburgh, highlights its esteemed position within British history. In the sporting world, Apsley serves as the official tailor to Crystal Palace FC, outfitting players and staff with refined attire. The brand also supports boxing talent such as Daniel Dubois, further showcasing its diverse reach.
Beyond traditional tailoring, Apsley embraces moments of modern glamour, hosting fashion shows at events like the Monaco Grand Prix. These showcases blend high fashion with high performance, reinforcing the brand’s dynamic identity. Ultimately, Apsley Tailors offers more than clothing, it delivers an experience defined by craftsmanship, heritage, and individuality. Each creation stands as a testament to enduring elegance in an ever-changing world.
