Welcome to Alexander James

English Country Clothing Tailored by Hand.

Superiority of cut in country clothes, whether for riding, hunting, shooting or just for the weekend, is the hallmark of ALEXANDER JAMES, the Manchester based master tailors who work with the finest English and Scottish cloths.

The names of the fabrics used by ALEXANDER JAMES craftsmen have the ring of sartorial history - Cavalry Twill, Melton, Box cloth, Bedford Cord, Covert, Whipcord, Homespun and Harris Tweed.
These hardwearing cloths are essentially English, for sporting tailoring was developed in England and the rest of the world followed. It is no surprise that many ALEXANDER JAMES clients are from overseas.

ALEXANDER JAMES is rooted in this English tradition. Bespoke clothes provide choice - choice of material, style, cut and detail - assured sporting elegance. An immaculate showing jacket to catch the judge's eye; a perfectly tailored side saddle habit, the picture of elegance; a classic hunt coat which looks good at the meet, yet gives dry all day comfort; or a shooting suit of enviable style.
