Ascottage is a tailoring brand focused on the sophisticated “timeless classic” for the modern society dressing style with deep authentic British roots, his co-founder and head cutter Geoffery Shin, is the first Korean to work as a cutter at ‘Cad and Dandy’ on the prestigious Savile Row in the UK, a title held with honor and responsibility, he brought the enriched technique, materials and designs, and blended it with the korean technology and urge for precision to the actual headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, where each piece is handcrafted to fit the customer personal patterns.
