Some months ago (March 2018) during a short trip to Lisbon, Jeeves took some photographs of himself wearing a ready to wear Hacking Jacket, made by Bookster (https://tweedlandthegentlemansclub.blogspot.com/2018/03/jeeves-short-trip-to-lisbon-wearing.html)
In a very pleasant
follow up, Bookster, tailored using the same “tweed” fabric, a pair of trousers
following my specifications (very simple and functional.)
High Waist Trousers. (to wear with suspenders)
Double
Pleats Inward
Plain
Waistband with Button Side Adjusters
Turn-ups
(5cm)
Two Back
Pockets
ZIP fly
Lining half
to the knee
What I
really wanted was a timeless, comfortable and functional suit, away from the “Italian
syndrome” who has dominated the scene of “business” life, in a great paradox,
transforming people who want to look responsible, in “fat babies” wearing too
small clothes.
Thanks Bookster!

OUR STORY
Bookster
was established by Peter and Michelle King in Herefordshire in 2007 and was
borne out of selling vintage clothing in the 1970s which, over time, became
renowned for specialising in Tweed.
This
specialisation was due to a continued frustration that tweed clothing was only
available in a limited number of small sizes. With a growing customer base of
demand for Tweed garments (in a variety of shapes and sizes) they decided that
the best way to serve their clients was to actually start making Tweed jackets
in custom sizes.
Thus
Bookster Tailoring was established to introduce The Bookster Original made to
order Tweed Jacket. Popularity for the product rapidly grew and soon demand had
seen the product range widen significantly, whilst maintaining the Bookster
Tweed Jacket as its core focus.
In 2014 Bookster
Tailoring was acquired by new owners, with a rich tailoring heritage stretching
back over 100 years, and subsequently the company’s headquarters moving to
Leeds, a famous heartland for tailoring and cloth production.
The
acquisition has only strengthened Bookster’s client offering in terms of
product range, customisation options, selection of cloth, fit, tailoring
quality and customer service. Today Bookster, still specialising in Tweed, has
a customer base of satisfied clients who appreciate the quintessentially
British style of a Bookster garment, its’ premium quality and perfect fit.
