Scrupulously warm Scottish Tweed, Luxuriously soft and silky red satin lining . Bespoke style and Exquisitely made , resulting in a perfect fit. Yes, it's a coat, not just any coat, but this coat is made by Andrea Franklin. I have known Andrea for years and I would highly recommend to anyone to have something in your wardrobe made by her. Andrea’s fashion sense and style is beautiful, quirky, and made with passion and love.

I am the proud and lucky owner and wearer of my very own Andrea Franklin Bespoke jacket. It truly is a wonder! Andrea designed the jacket with me in mind and we tweaked it together. And the result - I have a jacket with the perfect sleeve length for a long armed monkey like me!! I chose the fabric from her glorious selection and I love the fact that all her jackets have the same colour lining ( and it's not boring black, blue or grey!) With a jacket from Andrea you get exactly what you pay for and that is, the personal touch, unbelievable perfectionist quality tailoring and your own bespoke unique amazing jacket. What's not to love?

I love my Andrea Franklin Coat. Bought for my 50th birthday by my mother it is the most special item in my wardrobe. It feels amazing, just pulling up the zip reminds me I’m so lucky to wear this coat and it makes me feel fantastic.

I have been a client of Andrea for several years. She has designed and made many garments for me, from mother-of-the groom/bride dresses to winter and summer skirts. Just recently she has made me the most beautiful jacket which has been very much admired. Her skills are second to none and her attention to detail is very important to her, only the best will do and she will persevere until everything is perfect. This makes for a very satisfied customer!

Questions
Why do you choose British wool?

Britain has the most wonderful history of cloth manufacturing, such skilled weavers and the choice is exceptional. Different weights of cloth, different patterns within the weave, beautiful colours and high quality that is consistent and a signature of their craft. Also it keeps the miles travelled to a minimum, which is an added bonus.

Why do you make-to-measure?

Made-to-measure is essential for a custom fit  as no two people are the same. Arm lengths are different, bust sizes are different, body lengths are different, leg lengths are different and so on. This has been born out again and again as I have made clothes for real ladies not the generic sizing.

Who makes the clothes?

Every item is designed, pattern cut, toiled and tailored by me. There is no substitute for having the whole process in my hands and I love every part of it.

Can I commission a unique style?

Yes. The process will take longer as there are the extra stages of design consultation and design time needed which is why the price is different. This option is much more fluid than choosing from the range or tweaking an already existing design but it is an exciting way of creating a special piece that would be unique.
