Our Story

Since opening our doors, it has been our intent to celebrate the ideology of the Bespoke practice while bringing a fresh perspective to the process. We create an exceptionally sophisticated garment that delivers on the expectation of excellence that defines our clientele.

Our founder John Makayoto , has always had a penchant for menswear and tailoring. He started his career in the fashion industry in Nairobi , where he gained extensive experience and knowledge of classic menswear.

In 2013, at the urging of several customers, he took, by his own admission, the “immense step” of starting his own artelier,House of Class Tailors.

John's experience in the custom-clothing business in Nairobi means he has been able to successfully access the best individual pattern makers, cutters and master tailors in the city and overseas. His deep scholarship of and appreciation for premium quality fabrics and artisanal findings from the world’s finest mills, elevate details such as lapels, facings and buttonholes to architectural-level infrastructure.

John has a passion for personal improvement and offers a highly personal service by appointment only.
