Bespoke Tailors in Gloucester
Barrington Ayre is a bespoke tailor and shirtmaker serving Gloucester and the surrounding area. Our visiting tailor comes to your home or office anywhere in Gloucester, or you can visit our showroom on the Market Place in Cirencester, around 40 minutes' drive away.
Since 2008 we've made business suits, shirts, wedding suits, tweed and ladies' tailoring, cut to your measurements from thousands of British and European cloths. You get Savile Row-trained tailoring without a trip to London, and without anyone making you feel you're on Savile Row.
Two ways to be fitted in Gloucester
We come to you
Our tailor visits homes and offices across Gloucester, including Quedgeley, Hucclecote, Longlevens, Barnwood, Churchdown, Brockworth and Hardwicke, and further out to Newent and the Forest of Dean. We bring the cloth books, take your measurements and return for your fitting.

Business suits, fitted at your office
If you work in Gloucester, you don't need to take time off to be measured for a suit. Our tailor can meet you at your office or at home before or after work, in the city centre, at the Docks or on the business parks around Brockworth, Barnwood and Quedgeley.
We make business suits in hard-wearing worsteds for every day, lighter cloths for summer and three-piece suits for when it matters, for men and women. Once we have your pattern, ordering your next suit is quicker, and we can fit a second one without starting again.
What we make for Gloucester customers
Wedding suits
For grooms, fathers and groomsmen, including three-piece tweed wedding suits for country weddings. We can fit the whole party together at one of your homes.
Bespoke shirts
Shirts cut to your measurements, with your choice of collar, cuff and cloth.

Tweed and country clothing
Shooting suits, field coats and waistcoats for days out in the Forest of Dean and across Gloucestershire. Much of our tweed is woven nearby: we're agents for William Bliss Cotswold Country Tweed, from the Chipping Norton Tweed Mill.
Made in Cirencester

How it works
- Your first appointment. At your home, your office or our showroom. We talk through what you want, choose the cloth, settle the design and take your measurements. A deposit starts production.
- Your pattern is cut. Our cutters in Yorkshire make a pattern from your measurements that's yours alone.
- Your fitting, around four weeks in. You try the garment at baste stage so we can perfect the fit, in Gloucester or in Cirencester.
- Delivery, around eight weeks from your first appointment. Final adjustments are made by our own tailor before your clothes are handed over.
Short of time? Ask about our express service, which skips the fitting stage. Read more about our process.
