Getting ready to launch

January 20th, 2014

The New Year means new beginnings as California Tailor gets ready to launch our very first collection. We’re putting the final touches to Shirt No.1, hand checking each individual shirt making sure everything is perfect to ensure that the first collection leads the way in defining the perfect button down shirt.

Our highly limited first collection is going to be pretty special.  It’s going to define the quality of the brand, so we are not taking any risks.  Each shirt, inspired by sunny California and named after places which are special to us, will be sent out with a hand written note from me, California Tailor founder, Gill McLean.

I’m so excited that our launch is just day’s away.  Be the first to hear when the Shirt No.1 collection is ready by signing up to our email newsletter.

Behind the scenes

January 4th, 2014

As the New Year begins and California Tailor gets ready to launch, I thought it would be fun to show you some behind the scenes snaps from our Shirt No.1 photo shoot.  The shoot took place on a perfect California summers day.  With Venice beach as our backdrop we set to work bringing California Tailor to life on film.  It was the most amazing day.  The passion and huge talent of everyone involved has produced the most incredible images.  I am so looking forward to sharing them with you over the next few weeks. Subscribe to our newsletter and be the first to hear about the launch of the Shirt No.1 collection.

This is California Tailor

Welcome to California Tailor, where timeless style meets the laid back spirit of California.

Our journey begins in London, England.  Inspired by the traditions of tailoring, a love for all things classic and a British sense of humor, we travelled west to California.  Our London look married perfectly with the casual laid back lifestyle of California’s endless summer and so our California love affair began. California Tailor will launch in the Spring with our first collection “Shirt No. 1”.  Our take on the perfect button down shirt.

Join us on our journey from London to Los Angeles.

With Love
