Steed WebSite Re-Launch - Steed's View Blog Moves Too steed.co.uk

We are pleased to unveil our new updated site www.steed.co.uk

As mentioned in a previous post, Steed were actually the very first tailors on Savile Row to have their own website way back in the 90's, when unlike America, the internet in the UK was still in it's infancy.

We started to throw around some ideas back in November 2011 between myself, Matthew, Andrea and David McNeil of Revo Creative and came up with a substantial list of things we would love to incorporate in the new 

site.

One of which was a unique feature which we are sure might again be a first for Savile Row!

Its is a bespoke customer login.

This feature is available to all of our bespoke customers and their username will be their email address and a password of their choosing when they register for the feature.

This will allow access to their own personal space on our site and will be able to track current orders that are in process through a interactive time-line. Matthew will be updating the system as the customers suit is going through each process. Much like we documented various stages through our blog episodes called "A Work In Progress"

There will be a standardised format of text that will explain each stage but the photo's will be unique to that order. For example you will see photo's of your own paper pattern, and the cloth that has been chosen being cut.

Each customer will be able to post comments and questions in a box at the bottom of their personal page which we will reply to asap.

Also the blog will now be moved permanently to the new site so this will be the last post here on Steed's View!

West Cumbria Game Fair 2012

Come and see Steed at Armathwaite Hall, Bassenthwaite this Saturday, 14th July & Sunday, 15th July for the West Cumbria Game Fair.

This will be a festival of all that is great about the Cumbrian countryside, the people and their pastimes – clay pigeon & airgun shooting, fly & rod fishing, field archery, working dogs demonstrations and competitions, fabulous locally sourced foods, woodland skills, bushcraft and much more.

You, your family and friends, will have the opportunity to test your skills and abilities, in many of the counties most popular country pursuits. If you have a competitive spirit, you really should give it a go. You could bag yourselves some exciting prizes!!!  If you are new to game sports, why not come and try them out. There’ll be experts and professionals to safely show you how.

"Beware The Smile of An English Tailor" (Orson Wells)

We came across this funny segment via a friend and customer of ours so we thought it would be a good thing to share with everyone.

Hopefully our customers would agree we aren't quite as bad as these guys....enjoy
