Breeches to Bellbottoms Half-Day Experience

We take you on a fascinating journey through the evolution of men’s fashion — from the birth of the three-piece suit worn by Charles II in the seventeenth century to the flamboyant macaronis of the eighteenth century, the refined elegance of Beau Brummell and the Victorian dandies of the nineteenth, and finally to the expressive styles of the twentieth century. Along the way, we explore the Oxford bags, Zoot suits, Teddy Boys, Mods, Rockers, Punks, New Romantics, and today’s ever-shifting world of streetwear, workwear, and leisurewear — revealing how each era redefined style and self-expression.

Our experience begins in St. James’s, where we delve into the rich heritage of Jermyn Street and the world-renowned tailoring houses of Savile Row, uncovering the craft and structure behind timeless suits. We then make our way to Soho and Covent Garden, visiting iconic shops known for their clothing, colognes, and shoes steeped in history and artistry. With engaging conversations with knowledgeable staff and an introduction to vintage menswear, you’ll gain insight into how classic style continues to evolve while staying enduringly relevant. The tour lasts four to five hours, with an additional hour for refreshments — you may choose between breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, drinks and canapés, or a light dinner, arranged according to your preference.
