Meyer & Mortimer continues to perform an important service for numerous satisfied customers. The company’s elegant approach to tailoring is summed up by its compliment slips, which carry the message ‘with Meyer & Mortimer’s respectful compliments’. The company’s bespoke garments reflect this traditional, deferential attitude, with the emphasis very much on quality and personal service.

That quality, the hallmark that truly defines Savile Row tailoring is the ability of the tailor to create or enhance an idealised male form. Sloping shoulders, a concave chest, too much weight. The finest tailors, like Meyer & Mortimer can hide a multitude of sins.

Meyer & Mortimer still draw on centuries of tradition and innovation to make the highest quality garments around the world whilst not compromising the quality of our service. The current Directors, Brian Lewis and Paul Munday both joined the firm as boy apprentices and have 50 years and 22 years service respectively.

Today Meyer & Mortimer can still be found at 6 Sackville Street, just off Piccadilly and close to the centre of the bespoke tailoring world in Savile Row: Meyer & Mortimer is a prominent member of the Savile Row Bespoke Tailors’ Association.

Meyer & Mortimer’s’ expertise is also called upon by the modern entertainment industry. The actor Trevor Howard, for example, had a jacket made for him by a boy apprentice when he played the role of Lord Cardigan in the 1968 film version of the Charge of the Light Brigade. That apprentice is now a director of Meyer & Mortimer, underlining the sense of loyalty and continuity at the company. Another actor, Peter Sellers, was so impressed with the company that he commissioned it to make his outfit when he married Miranda Quarry.

Meyer & Mortimer, by Royal appointment, make uniforms for the Military Knights of Windsor, for their Noble order of the Garter ceremonies. This was the first, and remains the most prestigious, British order of chivalry dating back to 1348.

In 2007 Meyer & Mortimer’s shop featured in the film The Bank Job, starring Jason Statham and Saffron Burrows. Inspired by a daring robbery that took place in Baker Street in London in 1971, the crime was never solved, and the film posits a startling reason for that, one that has its origins in very high places.

Today, Meyer and Mortimer are proud to be members of the Savile Row Bespoke Association which unites the founding fathers of the Row with the New Establishment tailors to protect and develop a craft practiced in this elite quarter of Mayfair for over two centuries.
