The Journey Behind the Brand

From Garage to Great Tailoring

Neil McCann founded McCann Bespoke in 2002, after leaving a career in banking to pursue his passion for tailoring in 1990. What began in a garage in South East London was built on a simple belief, that exceptional fit and quality should come first, always.

A Showroom and a Sporting Partnership

With a £10,000 investment, McCann Bespoke opened its first showroom in Richmond in 2004, bringing a personal tailoring service directly to clients in their offices. By 2008, an exclusive partnership with the Professional Cricketers’ Association marked the brand’s first step into the sporting world.

Prestigious Names and a London Home

Partnerships with The Savoy Hotel in 2011 and Middlesex County Cricket Club in 2013 reflected the reputation McCann Bespoke had earned for quality. In 2014, the opening of a flagship store on Shaftesbury Avenue brought the brand to the heart of London, alongside new partnerships with Premier League football clubs.

The City of London Flagship Opens

Growth continued steadily from 2017, leading to the opening of the Lime Street flagship in 2019. Set across two floors in the heart of the City of London, the store includes a bar, a dedicated consultation space, and a curated selection of garments and fabrics for clients to explore.

New Faces, New Directions

Recent years have brought new talent to the McCann Bespoke team. Alex Katseph joined as Sales Director to lead commercial growth, Claudia Boden brought her expertise in bespoke womenswear as Tailoring Consultant, and Eva Casado joined as Social Media Manager to grow the brand’s presence online.
