Partly it is the way he carries himself – calm, relaxed, supremely confident – but also it is those bespoke suits he wears from Alexandra Wood on Savile Row.” Tony Parsons, GQ
”Her bespoke pieces have been worn by politicians, actors and film directors, as well as being named ‘’Tailor of the 21st Century’’ by GQ. This success has been hard won and thanks to 13 years experience. Alexandra has plenty of wisdom to share on the art of navigating a male-dominated environment and finding success on your own terms.”
”Alexandra isn’t your usual tailor. For one, she’s a woman – one of the first on Savile Row, and still something of a rarity on the storied street. Driven by a desire to make the world of men’s tailoring more personal and less intimidating, Alexandra began her tailoring career in womenswear, Alexandra quickly found she had a hidden talent for mens tailoring.”

A sports jacket is designed for casual wear and is typically misade from textured fabrics like tweed or herringbone, featuring a more relaxed fit and less structured shoulders. Blazers are a bit more formal, often solid in color with metal buttons, and can be paired with non-matching trousers. Suit jackets come with matching trousers, are made from finer fabrics, and are intended for formal occasions and no, please never wear your suit jacket as a sports jacket alternative. Keep your suit as a suit and opt for a well thought out collection of sports jackets.
Absolutely. A sports jacket is perfect for business casual settings. It pairs well with made to measure trousers, chinos, or even jeans, offering a polished yet relaxed look that is ideal for many professional environments.
A sports jacket should fit snugly around the shoulders without being tight. The sleeve should end just above the hand, allowing a half-inch of shirt cuff to show, and the jacket should button comfortably without pulling across the chest. The length should cover the bum, creating a flattering silhouette.
