Testimonials
I loved the service and attention that William gave us! I loved my husband even more with his beautiful and perfect suit. The work is rich in detail and care with everything. I highly recommend it and I will be back to make more suits with William!

I'm 6ft 8 and over 21stone. When I normally shop I take what stock they have that fits me. This is the first time in my life that I could pick my colour and style which has been liberating for me. When I buy an off the rail shirt, when I bend over the shirt goes half way up my back. Not anymore. Thank you William for your great work. Your service has been brilliant.
Paul Heverin
I'm delighted with the suit I bought from Billy Irwin. He's really flexible with coming to meet clients in person, and very knowledgeable about tailoring and drapery in general.
