The Rivington

The namesake for the address of the first Mr Start store, The Rivington epitomises the very essence of Mr Start style icons. Designed in 2007 as a contemporary alternative to the more traditional suit. Slim fitting with narrow lapels, a slightly shorter jacket and slimmer sleeves creating modernity making this the ideal suit for the contemporary man. Paired with a waistcoat or with dresswear for a more formal feel, the Rivington is one of our most versatile blocks.

The Pitfield

The Pitfield is based on the Rivington but designed to be a more casual, relaxed suit. The unstructured, soft shoulders and slightly more generous fit, coupled with the Rivington which has wider lapels gives an effortless contemporary feel making this a superb every day suit to style. Ideal for a more casually themed wedding, yet still smart enough.

The Hoxton

Now, the Hoxton is a similar fit to the Pitfield, but has a much wider lapel and is available with a soft shoulder or a more elevated shoulder which creates an ideal semi formal feel. Pair with a waistcoat and mix and match fabrics to play with its styling.

The Leonard

The most different one of the four is the Leonard with its stronger, more defined structured lines, it is our most classical suit and yet maintains an unapologetic modern vibe, especially if it's in the one button fastening. With a structured shoulder, wide classic lapel or peak lapel coupled with a curved sleeve for a sleek shape The 'Leonard' provides a strong silhouette.This is most definitely the nearest to a classic Savile Row suit. This shape has come back in fashion.

The details make all the difference

Our custom made to measure service helps you create a two or a three piece wedding suit, jacket or trouser perfectly styled and fitted just for you. The semi- bespoke process gives you flexibility and a shorter timescale than fully bespoke, so ideal if you are time conscious. There are many aspects we will help you consider to make sure your outfit is tailored to your own personal style and your event. These include; the shoulder shape, which can be soft, semi soft or full pad for a stronger silhouette; the lapel width and shape, which can be widened or narrowed, and comes in a notch, peak or shawl collar, offering varying degrees of formality; lining colour, where you can really
have some fun should you want to go bold; stitching and button choice - each can subtly affect and enhance your outfit

There are no rules....

01. The Shoulder Shape

Defines the structure and outline of the jacket Soft shoulder pads are soft fitting, gentle and provide a more casual look Semi soft shoulders, which give a very slightly more for formal shape Stronger shoulders creates

02. The Lapels

Peak lapel, Shawl lapel, Notch lapel are all options which can alter the formality of your wedding suit.

03. The Buttons

All styles available in one or two buttons, or more for double breasted. Your choice of button can create a dramatic difference to the finished suit or jacket. We have a great selection of horn, corozo and poly buttons to choose from, and can also do covered buttons.

04. The Lining

There are three options when it comes to linings.

Fully-lined; the whole inside of the jacket is lined
Part-lined; the sleeves, jacket sides and the upper back area is lined, looks great and makes it a bit lighter to wear.
Deconstruct; no lining except for the sleeves in our deconstructed model, which gives a very soft handle

05. The Trouser

The style and design of the trouser can dramatically change your look. Here is a quick synopsis of what to consider when selecting your trouser:

Flat front, with slim hems which is our most popular style
Pleated for a fuller modern fit
Wider fit, flat front and wide all the way down to the hem

I now own 4 suits from Mr Start, including a bespoke velvet tux for my wedding. The team at Mr Start were incredible and the result is so far beyond what I could have ever imagined!

- Nate

Philip and his extraordinary team fitted my husband for his wedding suit. The quality and cut of the suits alongside the friendly service made Mr Start not only the best choice but the only choice for us.

- Bev

I went in yesterday planning to buy a suit and walked out with two! I found the team polite, knowledgeable, refreshingly honest and non salesy.
