At just 17 years of age, Pentlands client, Richard George Gunton began working in a tailor’s workshop in Birmingham, shadowing the trouser maker. Here Richard absorbed all of the intricacies of producing fine bespoke attire, which led him neatly on to the ‘golden mile’ of tailoring – Savile Row. Working under a master tailor, Richard gained invaluable knowledge and experience of traditional British techniques in luxury tailoring.
Richard returned to the Midlands to work as head tailor, furthering his experience of bespoke design and aesthetics whilst nurturing close working relationships with his clients. Richard travelled within the UK and to Italy to visit some of the most highly regarded fabric mills and workshops in the world. This lifetime of experience has turned him into the talented tailor he is today; skilled, passionate, and proud to serve.
Any suit carrying the Richard George label is a garment of fine quality and true craftsmanship.
Richard said: My mantra in life has always been to ‘be the best version of yourself’. This is applicable throughout all aspects of a person; your working life, your family life, how you interact with the world around you and how you wish for the world around you to perceive you.
