Welcome to Barney Goodman Fine Tailoring

10 Jun

Barney Goodman Tailors was established in Sheffield in 1926. For many years we traded from premises in Sheffield city centre, before moving to the fashionable Ecclesall Road. Now for the benefit and convenience of our clients we trade by means of a travelling tailor service. All our garments are cut and styled in our own workroom and constructed using the traditional methods of hand tailoring. Methods that, in our opinion, remain unsurpassed in creating gentleman’s bespoke tailoring of distinction. Read more about our history here.

The perfect suit for your perfect day

19 Feb

Getting the right suit for your wedding is, of course, very important. But what should you look for in the perfect suit? The most popular colours amongst customers at the moment are the classic plain blue and grey shades. Plain colours or materials with a self-pattern in them, such as herringbone really do accentuate the styling and cut of the suit and are proving very popular.

The beauty of a classic, tailored suit is that it can later be used for business, or dressed down for smart casual wear. A well made suit should last many years if correctly cared for – we have some customers with our jackets that are over forty years old! The shaped coat is still the most popular style, and understandably so – what looks better than a well cut suit, made to measure with a good shoulder line and nicely shaped lapel leading down to the shaping into the waist and flair over the hips?

As we make your suit to your exact requirements, we can of course line your suit with whatever colour you desire. This might be a jacket lining to match the colour theme of your wedding, such as the colour of the flowers or the bridesmaids dresses. It’s in such details, as well as getting your suit cut exactly as you wish to fit you perfectly, that make Barney Goodman suits stand out. A subtle shade of blue or lilac can really apply the finishing touch to a suit, but for the more adventurous we also offer bolder colours, such as gold, maroon and scarlet. The choices are almost endless, but at Barney Goodman we can help you enjoy making those choices as we individually cut and hand tailor your special suit.

For further information, please call John on 07779 538868 or email for an informal, no obligation discussion of your requirements.

A First Taste of Autumn?

31 Aug

Not that the leaves have begun to change colour but that a marked increase in enquiries would appear to suggest that Autumn, traditionally a busy time of year, is approaching. Also suppliers have begun to issue new ranges after their summer ‘hibernation’. I hope that we enjoy the remainder of the summer whilst beginning to look forward to the Autumn.

Welcome to the Barney Goodman website

10 Jun

Welcome.

As you may be aware I will be closing the Ecclesall Road shop after 25 years at the end of this month. I will, however, continue to work as a tailor, by offering home visits for consultations and fittings.
