Seeing my good friend Chris even in photos after 35 years, when I returned to Cyprus, brought tears to my eyes. Chris made many suits for me when I lived and worked in the City. Some suits I still have the and until a few years ago I was still wearing them. He was not only my tailor he was a very good friend. Chris file mou agapimene sou efhome ygeia se esena kai oli sou tin oikogeneia. Ego tora eho ena gio dikigoro.

I have only one real regret about being a customer of Chris; and that is that I didn’t find him earlier.
True old world craftsmanship and skill, allied to a “vast pool of both knowledge and experience”.
One may go to Saville Row to see the sites, but whatever you do, go the Chris Georgiou for your suits.

When I first started work in London I lived in a £45 a week bedsit above the kebab shop next door to Chris. He made my first suit in 1992 and accepted 6 cheques post dated for £50 per month.

Since then, in 24 years he’s made a dozen suits for me and as I have lived abroad tried others tailors but NONE of them have had the quality of the work that Chris has made.

See you next week Chris!

I’d love to have a bespoke suit. It would have to be the suit for every occasion. As a retired carpenter in Ojai, CA it would be tough to arrange.
But these stories of working men are enjoyable. Craft is important and this is craft of the highest order.
Thanks Ron

I salute Chris Georgiou what a clever man and an interesting tale about the bank manager .Even if one has retired you have to keep busy and fill your day I like to volunteer ,but keeping active and having structure to your days is important.

I admire anyone who can sew. I can’t even sew a button on without copious amounts of blood being lost!!

Back in the 90s I had a suit made at Chris Ruocco, who has a shop in Fortess Road, Kentish Town. He’s a little off your beaten track but an interesting character.

I found the pictures in the fitting rooms facinating. He’s made suits for Spandau Ballet in the 80s, when they adopted a Mississippi gambler look (my interpretation) . And I think even a snap of George Michael was in there.

He’s a real curiosity, like Blustons the ladies shop on Kentish Town Road.

Great post by the way.
