Edward Sexton: The Unprecedented Quality Tailors Since 1969
Edward Sexton is a name that has been synonymous with bespoke tailoring for over five decades. Located at Savile Row, London, the brand has been creating classic mens and ladies tailoring with a modern twist of English eccentricity since 1969. With an unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship, Edward Sexton has become one of the most sought-after tailors in the world.
The History of Edward Sexton
Edward Sexton was founded by Edward Raymond Hartnell and Tommy Nutter in 1969. Both were apprentices at Donaldson, Williamson & Ward Ltd., a traditional Savile Row tailor. They left to start their own business after realizing that they wanted to create something different from what was being offered on Savile Row at the time.
Their vision was to create bespoke suits that were more relaxed and less structured than traditional Savile Row suits. They also wanted to incorporate elements of English eccentricity into their designs. Their first shop was located on Upper Grosvenor Street in Mayfair.
In 1971, Hartnell left the business due to creative differences with Nutter. Nutter continued running the business until his death in 1992. After his death, Edward Sexton went through several changes in ownership before being acquired by Patrick Murphy in 2010.
Today, Edward Sexton continues to be one of the most respected names on Savile Row and is known for its innovative designs and exceptional quality.
The Bespoke Experience
At Edward Sexton, every suit is made-to-measure using only the finest materials available. The process begins with a consultation where clients can discuss their preferences with one of our experienced tailors.
During this consultation, clients can choose from a wide range of fabrics including wool, cashmere, silk blends and more. Our tailors will take precise measurements ensuring that each suit fits perfectly.
Once the measurements have been taken, the suit is cut and sewn by hand in our Savile Row workshop. This process can take up to 12 weeks depending on the complexity of the design.
The result is a suit that fits like a glove and is tailored to each client's unique style. Our bespoke suits are designed to last a lifetime and are an investment in quality craftsmanship.
