The World's Guide to Tailoring

TailorGuide ranks the best tailors in the world’s great tailoring cities, explains how fine clothes are made and how to buy them well, and reports the news that shapes the trade.

Who we are

TailorGuide was founded on Savile Row in 2016 by the late Henry Kingsford, one of the Row’s most respected master tailors. After a lifetime of cutting suits for clients from around the world, he set out to give anyone buying or commissioning a suit the same knowledge the industry relies on: who makes the best clothes, what they should cost, and how to tell fine work from ordinary.

Today TailorGuide is a private company with offices in London, New York, Dubai, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney. We publish annual rankings of the best tailors in the world’s leading tailoring cities, more than 100 guides to tailoring and menswear, and news from across the industry every day, and we host the annual TailorGuide Awards.

Our rankings are written by critics who experience each tailor for themselves. They book as ordinary clients, choose the fabric, sit through the fittings and wear the finished clothes, and they carry no paid endorsements of any kind.

About the awards

How we work

How we rate tailors
  • Critics, not press releases

    Our critics visit tailors as ordinary clients, commission clothes and go through every fitting before we write a word.

  • No paid endorsements

    Our reviews and rankings carry no paid endorsements of any kind.

  • The same four tests

    Every tailor is judged on the cut and construction, the fit and the fittings, the service, and its reputation over time.

  • Checked every year

    Each ranking is reviewed in full once a year, and prices, addresses and details are checked between editions.
