James Okafor — Head Tailor at SuitedNoir

James Okafor is Head Tailor at SuitedNoir, a made-to-measure menswear label. He oversees suits cut to each customer's own measurements and advises grooms and professionals on fabric, fit and colour — with a particular focus on wedding tailoring across seasons and climates.

James writes SuitedNoir's tailoring guides: practical, opinionated advice grounded in how garments are actually cut and worn, not trend copy. His pieces cover suit colour, fabric choice by climate, fit, and dressing for weddings, black-tie events and the office.
