Freddie Fox with our head cutter Patrick Murphy at the first fitting for an evening suit.
We will bring you a picture of the finished article.
Thanks once again to Freddie
From this Friday up until 14th July, our valued customers Edward and Freddie Fox will be starring as father and son in Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece an ‘Ideal Husband’ as part of Classic Spring’s Wilde season at the Vaudeville Theatre.
It will be a momentous occasion as the pair have never acted together.
An Ideal Husband is a wry look at the corruption, blackmail and honour that ensues when political sin enters the heart of the English home.

WWE wrestling legend Paul ‘Big Show’ Wight dropped by at our Savile Row shop last week to be measured up for a bespoke suit. A long time admirer of bespoke tailoring, Big show fulfilled a life long dream with his visit to Davies & Son where he met with head cutter Patrick Murphy and cutter Joe Matthews. He is of course a giant of a man so making suit for him will go a long way to prove Alan Bennet’s quote on our home page ‘Its hard to describe our house style as we cut for the individual – we adapt to do our best with whatever shape we have to work with’. The cloth chosen is our own exclusive Navy Super 150 Huddersfield Fine Worsted ( https://www.daviesandson.com/savile-row-shop/march/)
A tweed jacket cut from cloth in Hunt and Winterbotham’s Allsport range soon to be finished prior to delivery to a USA customer.
Jamie Murphy, Freddie Fox and Patrick Murphy after the show last week
Last week Patrick Murphy and his son Jamie were treated to a performance of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ at the Garrick Theatre by none other than the star of the show Freddie Fox. Freddie caused quite a storm in London’s theatre-land when he took over the role from Richard Madden, after having very little time to adjust to the role.
Many thanks to Freddie from Patrick and Jamie.
We like to be able to bring you examples of unusual cloth. Patrick Murphy is cutting an Alpaca overcoat. Although this cloth is best seen ‘in the flesh’ to appreciate it’s qualities, these photos go some way to show it off. We are excited to see the finished garment.
