Popular Carlisle menswear business relocates to new studio
A popular Carlisle menswear business has relocated to a new studio.
Tasker & Shaw, a Carlisle-based menswear business, has moved into its new tailoring-focused studio at 27 Spencer Street locate next to the former Debenhams building.
The menswear business was previously located on Scotch Street and is owned by personal stylist and author James Hutchinson.
The studio marks a vibrant new chapter for Tasker & Shaw and a new focus on their made-to-measure offering.
Tasker & Shaw's pre-existing website and showroom will still supply a wide range of menswear and accessories, while they continue to build upon the personal service they offer on a one-to-one basis.

"The space already has so much character, and we're thrilled to bring high-end tailoring back to the heart of the city," James Hutchinson said after moving into the new studio.
"Whether you're looking for a sharp business suit or a one-of-a-kind wedding ensemble, our goal is to create garments that truly reflect the individual."

Prices at Tasker & Shaw start at £850 for suits and £150 for bespoke shirts, with a range of luxury fabrics and customisation options available at the popular local menwear brand.
Alongside his work at Tasker & Shaw, James Hutchison is also the author of 'The Tailor's Lexicon: An A–Z Guide to Sartorial Terms', and takes pride in bringing his knowledge and passion for style to every aspect of the business.
His commitment to sustainable, slow fashion is shown in the brand's motto - 'Buy less, buy better.'
