Dear Mr. Turley:
Here is Mr. Hitchcock's website.
http://www.stevenhitchcock.co.uk/
I am not a client of his, but I have read about him over the years. He did his training at Anderson & Sheppard before venturing out on his own.
I believe our fellow LL member Ed Hayes is a client, he'll probably be able to give you better insight on Mr. Hitchcock.
Best Regards,
Cufflink79

Why not take your suits along to Huntsman and ask them if they can be altered or recut to fit you? I'm assuming they were originally made for a relative, and you have inherited them.

Hitchcock is a brilliant tailor. He has great style, is not afraid to go with something a little blingie like cuffs on jackets or unusual linings.
The quality of the tailoring is excellent, the shoulders are properly set, the pants fit very well. The soft fullness at the chest which I request is done gracefully and holds its shape.
The labels are well shaped.
I think his prices are fair. He regularly sources unusual fabrics-last year he had some treeds for topcoats that were terrific. His father, John, is the managing director of Andersen and Sheppard and that probably helps him.
I have sent him many of my friends and every one has been very happy with him.
hitchcock thank you v much my first bespoke suit!
