Before meeting up with the company itself, I wanted to check out what;s said about them on their website.

HISTORY
Welsh and Jefferies opened in the early twentieth century on Eton High Street, and during the First World War the company built a reputation as a formidable military tailor. The firm made uniforms for the officers of many regiments, such as the Rifle Brigade and Coldstream Guards.
In 1999 Welsh and Jefferies acquired Lesley and Roberts who had established an Impressive client list of both diplomats and aristocrats.
In 1990, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales confirmed Welsh and Jefferies pedigree as a military tailor when he appointed the firm with his Royal Warrant as sole military tailor.
PRESENT DAY
Welsh and Jefferies is a small but neat shop situated at number 20 Savile Row. In January 2012 the business was taken over by James Cottrell who has been working at Welsh and Jefferies for 7 years and his partner Yingmei Quan.
James Cottrell started his career in Kilgour at the age of 16. In the early 1980s James left Kilgour for a postion in Tommy Nutter's workshop which lasted 5 years. He then spent 18 years working at Henry Poole before accepting the position as head Cutter at Welsh and Jefferies.
Yingmei Quan is a junior partner at Welsh & Jefferies. In 2011 she won the Golden Shears competition which enhanced her reputation as one of the better female cutters on Savile Row. She then started to attract her own female client base to the company and to this day it is evergrowing. 
SERVICES
Bespoke
Welsh & Jefferies specialise in producing both men and women's bespoke tailoring garments.
The process involves the selection of cloth, from a choice of thousands of designs, weights and qualities, before defining a style with the help of the cutter who will then measure the customer and create a unique pattern for the individual.
Once the pattern has been cut it is used to chalk out the selected fabric. A first fitting is then prepared and the customer returns to have the garment fitted. Any adjustments are noted, the pattern is altered accordingly and if necessary a second fitting is prepared.
Once the final fitting has been completed the customer then has their perfect suit. We will also hold their pattern for any further orders.
Ladies
The process for creating a woman's garment differs slightly to that of a man's.
A consultation with the ladies cutter Yingmei Quan is required. Yingmei then sketches a design for the customer and, following approval she continues to cut a pattern.
The first fitting stage is in a toile. Once Yingmei is satisfied with the fit of the toile she will cut the actual fabric. The ladies suits are constructed using the same traditional techniques employed in the production of the men's tailoring, almost entirely by hand to the most exacting standards.
