Welcome to House of Billiam - bespoke, British streetwear. We bring an eccentric, artisan touch to urban clothing - taking classic, British suit materials and making unsuit-like clothes with them.
We specialise in bespoke hoodies - hand-made, made-to-measure hooded jackets - made from beautiful, suiting fabrics procured from all over the UK.
Each one of our hoodies is essentially a collaboration between client and fashion house: you choose the materials from which your hoodie is made, selecting an outer and an inner fabric from our swatches. You then give us your measurements and indicate your fitting preferences, and receive your made-to-measure hoodie in the post.

Ordering is simple: you pick the fabrics you want from the swatches below, and once we have your choice and your sizes, they are drafted directly onto your fabrics, which are then cut, pleated, hand-stitched and sewn together. Because of our fabric buying policy, each outer and lining fabric is very limited, so we rarely have any repeat items.
Each jacket has pockets made from the lining fabric, within which, as a nod to Savile Row, there is a personalised label. Our back panels are pleated and hand stitched and our hoodies are completely reversible. All items are made in England.
If you wish to place an order, first select an outer fabric from below - if you want a closer look at fabrics, just go to the 'View My Pics' section of our myspace and look at the swatches, or click on them in the scrolling swatches.
And then a lining fabric...
[If you want more info on specific materials, don't hesitate to ask. We are about collaboration and most of our clients like to discuss the combinations and materials that interest them]
Once you've decided, just send us your choice along with your measurements and fitting preference:
WAIST: the thinnest part of the midriff that is above the hips.
CHEST:
For Gents - the fullest circumference, measured half an inch below the armpits.
For Ladies - the bust size (overbust), which is the widest circumference of the chest.
SLEEVES: with arms outstretched at 90 degrees to make a T-shape, measure underarm from the armpit to the wrist.
FITTING: tell us if you would like a baggy, normal or tight fit.
