Established in Hereford since 1836, Pritchards has been the go-to tailor for generations. Now, we’re excited to introduce The Cutting Room, offering a premium barbering experience for the modern gentleman. The Cutting Room will complement our pre-existing services that include ready-to-wear clothing and made-to-measure suiting. Here’s a behind the scenes look into how the Cutting Room was created.
The original space contained shelving and stock, but it felt as though it could be used for more. After completely emptying the room, it was time for an overhaul.

With wall panels successfully installed, it was time to add shelves.

Once the shelves were in place, the mirrors and chairs were next to be positioned.
