In a world of ready-to-wear (RTW) clothes, an individual’s need for self-expression demands to be liberated from the restrictions of mass production.

Alexander Edwards (22) and Richard Demczak (25) are celebrating a profitable first 6 months of business after their new tailoring company Aptus Suits has exceeded all expectations and become one of this years most talked about bespoke clothing brands. Believe it or not the idea of Aptus suits began whilst the pair waitered at a prestigious Cotswold conference centre.
