Meet your tailors and stylist

Every client at Ashby & Crane Bespoke is looked after by a head cutter, a coat maker, a wardrobe stylist and a bridal specialist working together in one room, never split across a shop floor and a distant factory. From the founder who drafts each pattern to the studio manager who keeps the diary, each person is introduced below.

Hand skills focused on clothes that are worn for years

  1. A drawn identity panel for the head cutter: a stepped head-and-shoulders figure reserved in white against a field of horizontal rules, with a centred plumb line through the head, beside a ruled pattern sheet and a mark of two paired pattern pieces. 01 ROLE 01 HEAD CUTTER 320 x 400

    Edmund Ashby

    Founder · Head cutter & senior bespoke tailor

    Edmund founded Ashby & Crane Bespoke to give Minneapolis a studio where every garment is cut and sewn on the premises, never sent away to be made. Trained in London, with 19 years at the cutting table and an early grounding in coat making, he drafts every bespoke pattern by hand and leads first measurements, cloth choice and the baste fittings for every suit and overcoat the studio makes.

    Best contact reasonAsk for Edmund when a suit, an overcoat or an awkward fit needs a pattern drawn from nothing and fitted in stages on the body.

  2. A drawn identity panel for the wardrobe stylist: the same stepped head-and-shoulders figure filled with an eight-unit horizontal hatch, one rule marked, beside a ruled sheet and a fitting calendar with a single date picked out. 02 ROLE 02 WARDROBE STYLIST 320 x 400

    Harriet Crane

    Co-founder · Wardrobe stylist & cloth specialist

    Harriet plans wardrobe edits and occasion outfits and chooses cloth and colour with every client who asks. Before co-founding the studio she spent a decade dressing actors and presenters for stage and television. She keeps a written record of what each client has had made, so that new pieces work with the clothes already hanging in the wardrobe at home.

    Best contact reasonAsk for Harriet when the question is colour, cloth, an occasion outfit or a wardrobe that no longer works for the life it is worn in.

  3. A drawn identity panel for the coat maker: the same stepped head-and-shoulders figure resolved into sixteen-unit modules, three of them marked, beside a ruled sheet and a message block with a reply mark. 03 ROLE 03 COAT MAKER 320 x 400

    Tomasz Wierzbicki

    Coat maker · Alterations & invisible mending lead

    Because a good coat is only as sound as its canvas and its shoulders, Tomasz makes coats and jackets by hand from the cut pieces to the final press. Trained as a coat maker in Kraków before moving to Minneapolis, he also runs the alterations bench, from shortened sleeves and taken-in waists to relining and invisible mending on fine wool and cashmere.

    Best contact reasonAsk for Tomasz when a sleeve, a hem, a lining or a moth hole in a favourite jacket is the open question.

  4. A drawn identity panel for the bridal and fittings specialist: the same stepped head-and-shoulders figure as a solid silhouette with the module grid knocked back out of it, beside a ruled sheet and a checked list. 04 ROLE 04 BRIDAL AND FITTINGS 320 x 400
