John Cutler
Designer, cutter and Business Principal
Born in 1949 and christened John Handel Lawson Cutler, I am the fourth generation of my family to take up the tailor’s shears. I joined the family business straight from school at 16 years of age. Even before then I had always shown a very keen interest in bespoke tailoring and shirt making. During my holidays from Sydney Grammar, I would visit my father’s shop to learn about tailoring, and even made the occasional waistcoat for members of staff at my school.
In 1967 at the age of 18 I followed in the footsteps of my grandfather and father before me, and travelled to London, the home of bespoke tailoring. At that time it was also “Swinging London†was the epicentre of the music, style and fashion world. Living in Swiss Cottage and working at one of the world’s foremost woollen houses Dormeuil Freres, I got to know many of the leading tailors in Savile Row. I also attended the renowned Tailor and Cutter Academy in Soho’s Gerrard Street where I studied ‘cutting gentlemen’s tailor made garments’, before graduating in 1969. The Academy, which sadly no longer exists, was for many years the cornerstone of British institutional tailoring.
I returned to Sydney to work with my father Bruce in the family business before taking over the cutting in 1972, and as Managing Director in 1976. To this day I remain designer, cutter, and Business Principal, and now have almost 50 years of experience in the business.
I believe that bespoke tailoring is the only service that offers a gentleman flexibility and impeccable quality when it comes to choosing a suit. Bespoke tailoring gives you the ultimate choice plus the quality, the cut, the style and the fit that only comes with bespoke clothing
My tailoring style is based on the great traditions of Savile Row, and whilst we may be a dying breed, we bespoke tailors are passionate about our craft and are forever inspired to create personalised outfits of the highest quality.
I have been dressing discerning gentlemen from around Australia and across the world for almost 50 years, and assiduously maintain the exacting standards, the quality, the cut, the style and the fit that has made the Cutler name synonymous with exclusive clothing for almost 130 years.
