The Oscars of Tailoring: London's 2023 Golden Shears Competition

London's Golden Shears Competition is considered by many to be "The Oscars of the Tailoring Industry." The event is organized by London's Merchant Taylors organization seeks to recognize the outstanding abilities of new apprentices, without which the trade could not continue. Held every year in March at the Merchant Taylor's Hall, each entrant enters a garment that they have designed and constructed 100% by themselves. The entries are not limited to traditional suits and showcase the creative and technical excellence of the next generation of Savile Row. The garments are judged on the basis of technical execution and style. This year, Kirby Allison had the privilege as serving as one of the "style" judges at the Golden Shears Gala event! So, join me, as we explore the world of quality, craftsmanship, and tradition of London's bespoke tailoring trade!
