King & Allen Arvostelua 

Had a great experience getting my wedding suit from King and Allen.
I was nervous as I’m not particularly fashion conscious and have never had anything tailored before so I didn’t know what to expect. I was immediately made to feel comfortable and given expert advice to help create the perfect suit for me. The process was very thorough and I felt guided all the way. Karl particularly was very respectful and helpful throughout the process.
The final product is an amazingly high quality suit that I will wear for years beyond my wedding day!

Absolutely fantastic service. Karl was brilliant from start to finish and made it all about me and my requirements. The suit looks amazing and is made to an exceptionally high standard with great materials. My suit was customized (plenty of options on colours, linings, buttons and so on) and tailored to my needs. I couldn't recommend King and Allen highly enough.

We both ordered bespoke suits for our wedding, together with a couple of men’s bespoke shirts and a separate bespoke ladies jacket. A tad over £4K.

King & Allen provide a good service for bespoke suits, although their preference seems to be men’s traditional suits.

However, our overall experience was average, and we don’t consider either of our wedding suits have that ‘wow’ factor we were expecting. Sadly my wife’s separate jacket has already split it’s lining, which is disappointing for a £1K garment. What is telling is that she does not wish to take it back for repair. So we won’t be going back to King and Allen, ever.

One other reason for this is that on one morning we arrived 5 minutes early for a fitting at the Surbiton branch to find an earlier customer was still being served. So we walked in and sat down on the sofa to wait our turn. No one acknowledged our arrival, it was as if we were invisible. A simple “Hello, I’ll be with you shortly” greeting would have sufficed, but nothing.

We feel that if you are a customer spending thousands of pounds on bespoke clothing you should be made to feel a little special. For us this was a big decision and a significant cost, yet we were left with a very ordinary feeling after our visits. The staff could have smiled more, which is an odd thing to say, but behind the formality that one expects, there was no spark or energy, we were just another appointment to be completed. This was a shame as it put a cap on our enthusiasm and enjoyment.

With hindsight we think it would have been quicker and cheaper buying off-the-peg suits and then having them altered by a tailor, which is hardly a glowing recommendation.

In conclusion, our suits looked good on the day, which was the most important thing. However, they weren’t cheap and the overall shopping experience lacked the pleasure one normally associates with buying something expensive and exclusive.

We don’t think King & Allen are poor tailors, certainly not, they delivered what we ordered after all. It’s just that we think we can do better elsewhere.

We needed two wedding suits at relatively short notice due the easing of the COVID restrictions. We looked online to see which tailors catered to women as well as men, and were impressed by the inclusive photos on the King and Allen website.

The service offered by King and Allen was exemplary – with a huge range of fabrics and styles to choose from. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, and they clearly knew their stuff, providing practical advice and tips on the perfect wedding attire. They were professional and attentive to our questions, concerns and nerves! They made the dreaded measuring process and fittings really enjoyable, fun and their attention to detail was amazing. They talked us through the etiquette, such as which buttons to do up, what to do with the pockets, and how to treat the suit to extend its lifetime.

The suits King and Allen made for our wedding were stunning. They took time and effort to ensure they fit perfectly, making certain no detail of the fitting was overlooked. Staff were clearly used to making suits for both men and women and I would highly recommend this company to the LGBTQ+ community.

I'd always been interested in the bespoke tailoring process and felt like my wedding was the perfect excuse to finally do it.
I went to the Surbiton shop and was helped from start to finish by Joe (legend).
I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted but Joe's experience came in very handy when it came down to finer details such as buttonhole stitching, trouser pleats etc.
Due to having the baste fitting, when I went for the final fit/pick up the suit was a perfect fit. The only disappointment when leaving with the suit was that the process was over.
I'll definitely be going back for more suits.
Huge thanks again to Joe!

This was my first ever suit, let alone a bespoke suit for my wedding. So to say I was nervous and didn’t have a clue what to expect is an understatement!
Even so, Jo Goad managed to guide me through choices of colour and style - and the end result and the fit is superb. I am so happy and can’t wait to proudly walk down the aisle as a bride in two weeks. Very recommended!

King and Allen have just made a bespoke suit and shirt for my wedding and they're fantastic. When I was researching companies initially, I was a bit unsure partially due to being a woman and as I've never had a suit made before but the whole process with them was really fun, enjoyable and professional. Karl is obviously passionate about great tailoring and was brilliant about giving options and advice and suggestions to help but ultimately make something that suited me and looks amazing. I chose all the details from the fabric, lining, stitching colours, embroidery, fastening etc etc over a few fitting sessions. I can't recommend enough if you need a suit making especially for a special occasion. I can't wait to wear it!

Excellent personalised service from Karl from start to finish. I have never owned a suit before so I was an absolute beginner. He was so helpful and was able to answer all my questions without issue. I love the end result and cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day!

I went to the Knutsford branch for 2 shirts and a cap. Karl was nothing but friendly and professional. The service from start to finish was excellent. I was kept well informed throughout the process of timescales and the final products were exactly what I asked for and were of a very high standard.

I couldn't recommend this tailor enough. I will definitely be going back for more clothes. I wish I had found them years ago.

K&A is one of the few places for women to get a tailored suit. They’re rightly proud of this and highlight it on their website. It seems to pay off for business: I was one of a string of three female clients in a row. All this considered, I was surprised K&A didn’t have a female attendant to take measurements. I would have been more comfortable being measured by a woman, and it would have given me extra confidence in the product to see a woman wearing a well fitted suit!

I came to King and Allen as I went let down by the other tailored company I used which ended up being a complete disaster where I ordered a year in advance before my wedding and still wasn’t right to when the wedding date should of been. Karl was brilliant he knew what had happened and advised on what would work and what wouldn’t, his tailoring experience is phenomenal. I would recommend this company without a doubt they have been amazing from start to finish. I am over the moon with the finished product and cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day ! Even through COVID my outfit was ready in time which the previous tailored place used as an excuse!
I will use them again even for just a jacket as the quality is amazing !
Thanks so much for making my special outfit :)

Gostei demais de conhecer sobre a técnica de construção das magníficas estradas dos velhos e incríveis Romanos, uau! Isso jamais me passou pela cabeça, embora eu leia muito sobre povos da antiguidade. Valeu, King e Allen, por essa narrativa tão bacana!

I have been dealing with Joe at the Liverpool St office for just over a year and have just had my 5th suit made.

Joe has provided an excellent level of expertise, patience and a wonderful grasp of my needs. Joe has taken the time to talk through all of the finer points lining,lapels, cut, buttons, to name a few and crucially the cloth which he explains in great detail in a way that is warm, friendly and professional.

I have felt totally at ease and when a suit has been made if I’ve asked for the trousers to be tapered a bit more or a waistcoat taken in a bit then this has been gladly accommodated though crucially I always value Joes opinion in terms of any adjustments which shows the very high regard I have for him.

Joe is a fantastic asset and adds considerable value to the brand.

Really helpful! Pulled all the stops out for a rush job and a great fitting suit!

I am really pleased with my suit and some additional trousers made for me by King & Allen. It’s the first suit I have had made and the whole experience from start to finish has been first class. I would highly recommend the company and would specially like to thank Jake for all his help and advice. In fact am so impressed I am having a pair of tartan trousers made ready for when we can next party ... !!

King and Allen have been great every step of the way - helping me choose the fabric and the style of my wedding suit as well as being very understanding when, like so many others, we had to postpone our celebrations. Jake is very personable and makes you feel at ease especially as the suit is such an important part of the big day!

truly excellent service prompt and was kept advised throughout the order

Blown away by Karl at Wilmslow. Went in with an idea of how I wanted my wedding suit and he had it executed perfectly. Had to move the dates of the wedding due to Covid but he was able to accommodate as I took my foot off the gas a few times in getting to my fighting weight. Pleasure to deal with from start to finish and will be back for my winter overcoat. Cheers

Excellent service from start to finish. My suit and shirt are a perfect fit I love it. Anyone thinking about a made to measure suit then go for it at King & Allen. Thanks Joe for your professional and personal approach.

I had looked for a long time to find the right outfit for my wedding and I knew that a dress would not have been something I would have felt comfortable or would have reflected me as a person so I decided to go for a suit. I looked through many high street stores and internet pages and nothing was right for what I wanted for my big day. I then through a search engine for bespoke women’s suits came across King and Allen and decided I would go and take a look. I attended a pop up shop in Birmingham back in February 2020 and was very apprehensive and took along my sisters for some moral support. This was when I met Karl whom from start to finish has been nothing but amazing. My initial consultation took quite some time as I had no clue what I wanted and did not have a colour in mind. Karl was patient and very informative and helped me make some initial decisions and I booked back in for a final suit design meeting for April. Then lockdown hit which sent everything into a spin everything closed down and I was so worried I would not be able to get my suit in time for the big day. Karl then arranged for us to have a zoom meeting in which he talked me through my design allowed me to ask a million questions and really made me feel at ease making a big decision even though it was over the internet. At this point I still had no clue what colour I wanted to go with so Karl ordered for the suit to be made into a base fitting material whilst he had swatches sent to me which really helped me when I was finally able to go into the shop. Then we eventually got the go ahead that I was able to go into store and take a look at my base fitting suit. Once again this appointment took quite some time and again Karl was on hand for every decision I was unsure of to help me make the right choice. Within 3 weeks the suit was made in the fabrics I had chosen and I went up for my first alteration fitting. I absolutely fell in love with my suit it was everything I had dreamed about and more. Once again Karl was able to make the alterations I wanted and needed and was on hand to help out with everything. I can honestly say that on your wedding day you want to feel absolutely amazing and even thought I was not in a traditional dress I felt every bit the princess a woman should feel on their big day. I cannot express how wonderful the suit made me feel wearing it and everyone commented on the colour and quality of the suit and I would buy another for another special occasion because it was worth every penny. A special mention must go to Karl as I have previously mentioned he was brilliant from start to finish always at the end of an email answering all my questions and helped me make my wedding outfit from dreams to reality so a massive thank you to Karl for doing that I really did appreciate it.
