To celebrate the end of the year we thought we'd put together some of the key items we've produced and new products we've developed, to bring you some unprecedented offers for you to see in the new year - so be prepared for a long read.
To all our customers, private and emergency service, thank you to everyone who has supported us this year and we wish you all the utmost best for Christmas and the new year.

Café Jacket Extraordinaire

BKS has made many jackets over the years but we have 2 only in size 42” that are truly unique one-offs.

Like waiting for an aged fine wine to be opened, Brian has had the finest of Japanese hides for over 10 years hidden on the shelves in the cutting room which are 1.8mm thick and as tender as a Wagyu fillet.

What better than a classic and simple Cafe Jacket to now turn these hides of beauty into finished garments of desire. Uncluttered panels, beautifully trimmed raw edges and chunky antique silver YKK zips. This one is finished with a cheeky skulls lining from my Saville Row suppliers including some of their luxury yellow overcoat pocketing...we think you will love it all. Fitted with a 3-D mesh body warmer too.
 
 

The Perforated Version....

probably my favourite ever jacket….(& might keep it for myself!)
This rare Japanese cowhide, is sadly no longer available. Someone around 75kg and 5’10” is going to be the male Cinderella in this instance but will have a jacket for life. YKK 10mm silver zips... thread as thick as shoelaces... Outlast lining with a body cooling coating on the reverse side... the passion creating these 2 jackets will surely be felt by the eventual owners


Both jackets are fitted with D30 protectors in pockets at shoulders,
elbows and back.

 

These are truly luxurious and I’m pretty certain Gucci would charge around £5000 for these beautifully crafted exclusive jackets …so consider them half price at £2499.99 each.

Recent Client work

With all client work there is always an element of continuous fine tuning. We love the ability to exercise tiny refinements through all aspects of garment production. This might be altering the geometry of the curve through the jacket collar in the pattern making stage or deepening an armhole to improve rider comfort. It could be finding new ways to trim the edge of the inside pocket or simply adding piping to the flap behind your jacket front zip. We take all this on at no extra cost as we love to delight our clients with unexpected finishing touches. It’s what defines some of BKS’s design philosophy.

Here are some recent examples from 2020.

Showroom Suits for Sale

Many of you who have visited the BKS showroom are aware of the display suits we make to help you with your personal choices during the design of each made to measure suit. These are usually made in a size that Brian can wear for photoshoots and remain in perfect condition, some never even leaving the building. These sell very well throughout the course of time with their offered price usually reducing in line with their age. There are but just a handful for sale at present and we hope the 70kg men amongst you will be tempted by their vastly reduced prices compared to having one made.
