LongTimeGone

I create bespoke, tailored clothing using vintage embroidery machines and traditional British tailoring techniques. My work is inspired by the country music culture of my native Texas and the textile traditions of my adopted home of Yorkshire. Every garment is designed individually to feel personal, expressive and rooted in craft. I worked as a tailor and embroiderer for Manuel Couture in Nashville, where I made rhinestoned and embroidered tailored suits for country music superstars with the man who dressed Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan, the Beatles and many more icons. I have a level 5 diploma in Bespoke Tailoring designed by the Savile Row Bespoke Association and approved by the UK Fashion and Textiles Association, which includes both cutting and tailoring methods so I can combine the best of British suitmaking with Western Wear traditions.
