Phil goes above and beyond to get the right style that is tailored just for you. It was a fantastic experience and he made me very comfortable and reassured about my suit. If you are looking for a special bespoke suit give Noble Fox a try - you will not be disappointed, 5 star service all the way.
Read on Trustpilot →Race Day Suits, Cut
For The Enclosure.
Royal Ascot, Aintree, Chester - each has its own dress code, and a hired suit fits nobody in particular. Your tailor comes to you with the cloth and delivers in six to eight weeks.
Made For The Day,
Measured For You.
Bespoke means the suit is cut for you from the start - your measurements, your cloth, your choice of cut. For a race day, that matters more than most occasions: you are outdoors for hours, on your feet, and in every photograph taken that afternoon.
Your tailor comes to your home, talks through the meeting you are dressing for - the course, the enclosure, the season, how formal the code runs - and builds the suit around those answers. Cloth, cut, lapel, lining, buttons: all of it is your decision, guided rather than dictated.
Six to eight weeks later it arrives, fitted at your home one last time before the first race. And because it was cut to your own pattern, it still fits properly season after season - not just on the day.

How Bespoke Tailoring Works
Three steps, finished before the meeting. Your tailor comes to you, and the suit is cut for a long day standing rather than a day at a desk.
The Consultation
Your tailor visits your home and works through cloth weight, cut and the enclosure you are dressing for, since Royal Ascot asks for more than a county meeting. Fourteen precise measurements are taken.
Around 90 minutesThe Making
Your pattern is cut and the suit built by hand, in cloth chosen to hold its shape through a full card and whatever the weather does. Order six weeks before the meeting to be comfortable.
Around 6-8 weeksThe Final Fitting
Your tailor returns with the finished suit and checks it against how you stand, walk and reach, then makes any adjustment before the day itself.
Adjustments includedFrom First Fitting
To First Race.
Every meeting has its own character, its own weather, and its own idea of what looks right.
Choose a fixture to see how we would cut for it - and when to order.
Cheltenham Festival
Four days in the cold, and the crowd dresses for it. Tweed and heavy flannel hold their shape where lighter cloth would drop - and a three-piece gives you a waistcoat layer that earns its place by the second race.

The Grand National
Liverpool dresses up for the National like nowhere else in the calendar. This is the one where a sharp three-piece and a confident check read as good taste rather than showing off.

Chester May Festival
The oldest racecourse in the country, and the crowd dresses like it knows. Chester is where colour first appears in the season - a mid-blue or soft green in a lighter worsted.

The Derby
Morning dress in the Queen's Stand, a well-cut lounge suit everywhere else. Check your enclosure before you commit - the gap between the two is wider here than at any other course.

- Mid-weight wool

Royal Ascot
The strictest code of the year, enforced at the gate. Morning dress is required in the Royal Enclosure - and a hired coat, cut for someone else's shoulders, is obvious in every photograph.

Goodwood & York
Linen weather, and the longest days of the season. A breathable high-twist or wool-linen blend is the difference between looking composed at the last race and looking like you have stood in the sun since noon.

Before You Book.
The things clients most often ask before their first appointment. If there is anything we have not covered here, your tailor will happily talk it through on the call.
Book a ConsultationMorning dress: a black or grey morning coat, waistcoat, striped or houndstooth trousers, a plain shirt with a tie, and a black or grey top hat. Cravats and novelty waistcoats are not permitted, and the code is enforced at the gate.
Six to eight weeks from consultation to delivery is typical. We recommend booking your home visit six weeks ahead, which leaves unhurried time for choosing cloth and a follow-up fitting.
Yes - the same morning dress is correct formal daywear for weddings. Most clients find the coat pays for itself against hire fees within a few seasons, and it fits properly every time.
Yes, anywhere in the UK. Your tailor brings the cloth books to you, takes fourteen measurements, and arranges any follow-up fittings the same way. There is no showroom to visit and no obligation at the consultation.
Yes - we tailor for women as well as men, with jackets, trousers and waistcoats cut to your measurements. Mention it when you book and we will plan the consultation around it.
Superb from start to finish! Met with Phil who got my measurements spot on. Went through every option on the suit in detail and gave me full rein to choose exactly what I wanted. He was spot on with his time frame and hand delivered the suit to me. Quality was excellent - I will no doubt be using Phil again.

He has become our go-to tailor - no one comes close. I welcome Phil as one of our team as without him we wouldn't be smart and professional. Claire (Hope Funeral Care)
