A Yorkshire tailor has seen some of his suits at two glittering red-carpet events in Los Angeles and London!
Jeremy Wood Beaumont from Harrogate’s Rhodes Wood Bespoke Tailors had a suit commissioned by actor Mark Strong, who stars in the latest Disney blockbuster Jon Carter. The actor wore his bespoke suit to two both the USA and UK premieres of the film.
Jeremy has clients all around the world and travelled to London to take the measurements of 48 year old actor Strong.
Mark, who has starred in many big Hollywood films including Stardust and Kick Ass, chose a grey suit with a 3mm edge stitching to the lapels
Jeremy said: “Mr Strong was very specific about the type of suit he wanted to wear at both premiers. It had to be classic looking yet at the same time obvious it was created especially for him. We work with a Yorkshire Mill that has its headquarters on Savile Row, where I did the London fittings. We aimed to provide a quintessentially English suit with a European ‘flavour’ and softness’.
“It took me four weeks to make and both Mr Strong and I were delighted with the finished result. This is the first time one of my suits has been photographed at two major film events.
“Mr Strong sent a text to me after the after the London premiere, saying how special he felt in something that had been created for him.
“It was a privilege and a pleasure creating this hand-made suit for Mr Strong, and hopefully he will call on my talents again.
Rhodes Wood was established by Jeremy in 1997. The tailors aim to bring tailoring that is exclusive to Savile Row and Jermyn Street to the north of England.
