Dress2kill

For most people traditional bespoke tailoring means fusty tailors and hefty prices. However, we're not traditional in the slightest, in fact we're rather modern.

We are travelling tailors who bring made-to-measure suits to the desks of busy people at reasonable prices. There are not many guys for whom shopping is enjoyable. D2K is about making life easier for the customer.

Dress2kill is shaking up the tailoring industry by offering made-to-measure, British designed suits from just £450. Taking into account the busy lifestyles and aversion to shopping of most potential customers, specially trained Dress2kill consultants visit the home or office for a fitting session and to discuss the design of the suit. Just a few weeks later a bespoke, British designed suit is ready for collection.

Dress2kill offers an alternative to the traditional, stuffy and expensive image of bespoke tailoring. By making the process as easy as possible for the customer by conducting consultations in the home or office and by offering British-made suits at the same price as most off-the-peg offerings, Dress2kill is giving more and more people the chance to experience the unique feel of made-to-measure clothing.

Dress2kill also offers a range of hand-made shirts and more formal dress for every occasion, along with a growing range of women’s clothing. From dinner suits to morning suits to an increasing demand for tailor made informal suits for weddings, Dress2kill can make everyone look good and feel great.
