Our garments are made in collaboration with a select group of specialist makers around the world. Tailoring is produced primarily in our small atelier in Seoul, South Korea, alongside trusted partners in China for tailoring and leisurewear.

Our ready-to-wear and accessories are crafted by experts in their field, from Italian denim, leather and eyewear, to knitwear and silks from China, belts and bow ties from Australia, and espadrilles from Spain.

SARTORIA K - from £2,400 GBP

The P. Johnson Sartoria K suit is entirely hand-made in our small atelier in Seoul, South Korea. A place regarded for its obsession with aesthetic perfection. The jacket feels inexplicably fresh and lively, moving with you rather than against you. The hand-work is exquisitely refined and precise, bringing the garment to life while remaining cleanly moulded and shaped to the body. This is a custom suit that will live in the mind as much as the wardrobe. Production is limited.

Fabrics are sourced as cut-lengths from the best weavers in the world - Italy, the UK, and Japan. Allow 6-8 weeks*

PRONTO - from £1,195 GBP

Made in our workshop just south of Shanghai, where Italian cloth meets cutting-edge construction. Full floating canvas means the suit is not held in place by fusing or glue, but traditionally constructed and shaped to move with you, ventilate, and mould to the body with every wear. Soft, precise, and beautifully made. The perfect choice for business suits, wedding suits, and casual tailoring, whether single or double-breasted.

We hold many lengths of Italian, British, and Japanese milled fabrics on site, and can access cut-lengths sent directly from a wide range of European weavers. Allow 3-6 weeks*

PRONTO HALF CANVAS - from £1,045 GBP

The half canvas construction comes from the same Pronto workshop, using the same Italian fabrics and the same individual fittings. It delivers clean, lightweight structure and comfort at an accessible price point. As with all P. Johnson custom tailoring, your patterns are held on file for every future order.

Well suited to groomsmen's suits, business suiting, first-time tuxedo tailoring, or anyone who simply wants a well-made suit without fuss. Allow 3-5 weeks*. An express 2-3 week* turnaround is available at additional cost.

*Timing can be impacted by make, cloth choices and unforseen events. If you have an event date, please be sure to mention it at the time of booking.

We’re a lightweight specialist. We aim to make suiting relevant and highly wearable in all contexts. Our emphasis is on fit and a reductive approach to building a wardrobe.

We encourage our clients to slow the process down and carefully, over time, build their ideal wardrobe. We approach it logically and didactically. We discover most client’s tastes and preferences develop as a result of them improving their understanding of what it is that makes the clothing relevant to them.

We encourage you to keep in contact with your tailor about your ideas to facilitate this progression. Where at all possible we endeavour to keep you in contact with the same tailor (If you wish to change your tailor please let us know).

The suit as it’s known to most is a structured garment meaning it employs a chest piece and a shoulder pad to give the jacket a clean and shapely addition to the wearer’s own chest and shoulder. It serves to disguise deficiencies in the body.

The more structure, the more elevated and distinguished is the appearance. Drape is quite the opposite. Drape refers to the natural fall and movement of the cloth and aids in creating a more sensual and luxurious appearance. Reducing the internal structures of the jacket allows for more drape, and an increasingly lithe and more natural appearance.

Canvas is used in the chest of the jacket to give it shape and structure. It comes in various compositions; mixtures of animal hairs, cottons, linens and other fibres depending on the properties desired. The canvas is combined and then attached to the cloth using many fine stitches (not glues) and is referred to as a floating canvas. This is the genuine and traditional means of construction and allows for fluid movement, drape of the cloth and breathability of the jacket. This is important for a natural appearance in the jacket and allows for the best exploitation of the cloth’s properties. If you require your garment to be Shatnez free please discuss with you tailor and we would be happy to make the necessary arrangements.

After your first appointment with P.Johnson, a second fitting will be organised once the garment is made. During this second fitting the tailor will determine, with you, whether any adjustments need to be made. All adjustments that need to be made are conducted in-house at no cost to the client. In the odd case that a garment cannot be adjusted reasonably, P Johnson will organise for the client to be re-fitted and the garment will be remade. There is no cost to the client undergoing this process, unless it’s a result of a significant and measurable change in build.

MADE-TO-MEASURE GARMENTS

The cost of alterations are cordially included in the initial purchase, up until the final fitting, when the fit of the garment is mutually agreed upon between tailor and client. Any alterations after this time, will be charged at cost-price to the client, except when it’s a result of a manufacturing fault in the garment.

READY-TO-WEAR GARMENTS

We offer a cost-price alterations service for P.Johnson ready-to-wear garments.

Please note: We only make alterations to P.Johnson garments. All alterations are conducted in-house.

Australian super fine merino is still king when it comes to beautiful suiting cloth. We work with the very best technical merino weavers, most of which are based in the Biella area of Piedmonte in North West Italy, using Australian grown merino wool. We also work with some of the classic UK mills for more niche requirements. Our linens are variously sourced from classic Irish to softer Belgian linens, as well as very light Italian. Our cottons are sourced from specialist weavers in the Varese region of Northern Italy, and Japanese weavers as well. Our shirting cloths are Italian spun and woven Egyptian cottons.
