This weekend we attended the 2014 Classic Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham, Sponsored by Lancaster Insurance. We had a ball doing our live pattern taking demonstrations on our stand all weekend, showing the public and motor trade how we make a Savile Row suit for your car.  We've never done the live demos before and we enjoyed the opportunity to show you what goes into making a bespoke cover. Every pattern we have on file was created in the same way, using traditional tailoring techniques to measure and fit the car in much the same way you'd expect to be measured for that luxury suit. We also had requests from various exhibitors to take patterns from their pride and joy whilst they were on their stands. This generated huge amounts of interest from the crowds, most noticeably so when we took a pattern from one of the most iconic cars there, KITT from Knight Rider, being exhibited by Staffordshire Knight. Here's a selection of the hundreds of pictures we took over the weekend. Hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed taking them.
