Refined, Modern, and Entirely Personal

Weddings are deeply personal – your style should be too. We offer a modern, elevated take on wedding attire, blending timeless craftsmanship with bespoke creativity. Every detail tells your story. From coloured buttonholes that complement your theme to bespoke linings designed just for you – your garments will be as unique as your journey together. We offer thousands of luxurious fabrics, made in the world's best mills, allowing you to create something truly yours. Go even further with undercollar embroidery: initials, meaningful dates, or a quote that reminds you why you're saying “I do.” Because it's not just a suit – it's a memory stitched into every seam.

Why We Love What We Do

Years of tailoring, a pinch of creativity, and a team that feels more like family — that’s our secret recipe. We work hand-in-hand with local mills and pour heart and soul into every piece we create. From first sketch to final stitch, we love bringing beautiful garments to life — and being a small (but stylish) part of your big day? That’s the cherry on top.

Norton & Townsend is a bespoke tailoring business who have showrooms in Ilkley and London.

We absolutely love working on weddings and we offer a fully bespoke tailoring service. It’s not just the groom we look after — we can also welcome the wedding party into our showrooms for a truly personal experience. Alternatively, if the groom prefers to keep his suit a secret until the wedding day, we can see him on his own. We’re not a big national retailer; we’re a small, independent business that prioritises customer care above all else, which I believe aligns nicely with your own values. One challenge we can face is timing — a lot of grooms tend to get in touch quite late in the process. Our ideal lead time is around 10 weeks or longer to give us time to deliver a perfect result. We need a minimum of 6 weeks. Sorry, we do not Hire.

Our suits start from £995.00 and an average 2 piece wedding suit usually comes in around £1500. We use the finest cloths from reputable mills.
