Whether for a single piece, or tens of thousands, Firmin & Sons applies the same close engagement with the client diligent engineering to produce the perfect solution.

Firmin House operates a number of specialist retail establishments. We are also proud to be the tailors in residence at the Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, the Royal Air Force College, Cranwell, and at the Headquarters of Land Command in Andover.
