Richard James' bespoke services are second to none, and the brand now has an ever-growing selection of ready-to-wear clothing, second only to custom.
Indeed, Richard James accessories are becoming a major talking point on the London fashion scene. Richard James Ties are handcrafted in England with exclusive fabrics and high silk content to ensure that each tie gives years of good knot age and is a perfect match with a Richard James shirt.
