For over 50 years, Ian has been working with clients from across Merseyside
An "old-style" tailor shop that has welcomed generations through its doors has been at the heart of the city-centre for decades.
"I went in as the tea boy and gradually I got trained up to be a bespoke tailor and then when I was about 24, I started running the place. It was all practical, there was no theoretical training. "This was in the 80s when there were absolutely no jobs at all. I was left with a choice of be unemployed or starting off on my own and that's what I chose to do."
Ian said: "There are some families I am now dealing with the great-grandchildren of people I originally started dealing with. And I wish I had a quid for every time I've been pinning a dress on a girl and she's turned around and said "you always used to alter my nan's clothes for clubbing in the 80s."But Made to Measure also became known for one other member of the team and for years, it wasn't unusual for customers to see Penny the cat around the shop.
"Casual clothes have become a massive, dominant thing now. The old suit, shirt and tie is almost completely gone.
