Golden Shears for Joe Holgrove of Denman Goddard

Shear Class

Congratulations to Joe Holgrove of Denman Goddard tailors on winning the Golden Shears. The Golden Shears is a bi-annual tailoring competition supported by the Merchant Taylors' Company — one of London's ancient Guilds.

Joe is a traditional tailor, so designing something that was more catwalk-friendly yet showed off his tailoring skills was a challenge. He plumped for a half-shooting jacket in contrasting colours and with traditional tailoring flourishes.

Find Joe at Denham Goddard (1858), Hanover Square, London — incorporating Hicks & Sons (1767) — where the knowledgeable and experienced staff can advise on two- to eight-piece suits or full dress military uniforms. Denman Goddard has a distinguished background in supplying military clothing and livery to the Royal Household.
