Bespoke menswear since 2012
A small Lagos atelier making bespoke suits, agbada and wedding wear for a short list of clients. Each garment is hand-cut, two-fitted, and finished in our Ikoyi workshop.
House of Oluwole is a three-room atelier above a bookshop in Ikoyi. We work with a short list of clients — about sixty men a year — on suits, jackets, agbada and wedding wear.
Every commission starts with a conversation, not a measurement. We ask how you move, how you carry weight, what you wear on your worst day. Then we cut, fit, and fit again.
Selected pieces from the last eighteen months. Each one cut from a single pattern, each pattern drafted for one person.
Two-piece or three-piece. Pattern drafted for you, two fittings included, six weeks from first measurement.
Morning coats, dinner jackets, agbada and groom's suits. For the wedding party as well.
Four-piece agbada cut to your posture, silk-lined, with hand-embroidery by our in-house team.
We take in, let out, re-shape and refresh garments you already own. Minor to major adjustments welcome.
We talk about what you want, where you'll wear it, and what you already love or dislike in your wardrobe. 45 minutes, by appointment only.
We select fabric from our house cloths — British, Italian and Irish mills — or source something specific for you.
Our head cutter drafts a pattern just for you. This is the step most shops skip and the one that makes the difference.
A basted baste-fit two weeks in. You try the rough shape on, we mark adjustments in chalk, and we take the garment apart again.
A near-finished fit. Final tweaks to sleeves, shoulder line, and trouser break.
Pressed, bagged, and delivered to the studio or your home. With a promise to re-alter if anything shifts.
Olumide took me from 'off-the-rack Lagos' to a man who looks like himself. I've never gone back.
He cut the dinner jacket I wore to my own wedding. Three years on, it still fits like the day he finished it.
I walked in for alterations and left with a new suit. Best mistake I've ever made.
