Richard James is a Savile Row tailoring house founded in 1992 by Richard James and Sean Dixon. The firm operates from 29 Savile Row and is considered part of the "New Bespoke Movement" that revitalized Savile Row in the 1990s by attracting younger clients and introducing modern designs while respecting traditional construction methods. Richard James was the first Savile Row tailor to show at London Fashion Week and has been credited with helping to modernize the street's image.

The house offers full bespoke tailoring, made-to-measure, and a ready-to-wear collection. The bespoke service is based on traditional Savile Row construction, with hand-stitched canvases, pick-stitched lapels, and individually cut patterns stored on the premises. A bespoke two-piece suit starts at approximately 4,000 GBP. The made-to-measure service offers a more accessible entry point with factory construction to the client's measurements.

Richard James is known for its use of color and bold fabric choices within a classic Savile Row framework. The house's signature look combines a traditional English shoulder and silhouette with unexpected details such as vibrant linings, colorful socks and accessories, and unconventional fabric pairings. The ready-to-wear collection includes suits, shirts, knitwear, outerwear, and accessories.

The brand has dressed numerous clients from the entertainment, business, and fashion industries. Richard James holds a Royal Warrant as tailors to King Charles III. The firm operates two retail locations in London, its Savile Row flagship and a shop on Clifford Street, along with wholesale distribution to select international retailers. The company remains independently owned by its founders.
