Chris Kerr

Chris Kerr is one of Soho's genuine tailoring names, cutting bespoke suits on Berwick Street in a tradition handed down from his father, the legendary Soho cutter Eddie Kerr. Where Savile Row leans formal, Kerr's Soho style has always had more attitude, dressing musicians, actors and characters who want something sharp with a bit of swagger.

As a proper bespoke tailor in Soho, everything is built around the individual: a personal consultation, cloth chosen together, patterns cut by hand and fittings along the way to a finished, one-of-a-kind garment. Suits, jackets and separates are the core, made to last and made to say something, with a client list that has long run through music and film.

What to expect from this Soho bespoke tailor

Expect a proper bespoke process rather than off-the-peg: an unhurried consultation, a wide choice of cloth, and a hand-cut pattern that is yours alone, refined over fittings. The house style is confident and characterful, at home with a bold check or a sharp evening suit. It is a considered purchase, built over weeks, for people who want a suit with personality.

The tailor and the heritage

The Kerr name has been part of Soho tailoring for decades, and Chris carries that legacy on Berwick Street with a distinctly Soho swagger. It sits among the street's independent names, near fabric institution Borovick Fabrics, with more of the area's shops in our Soho shops listings.
