A BRADFORD-based designer has made sure Captain Sir Tom Moore is suited and booted after kitting him out in designer wear.

IK Collections, led by owner Imran Khan, contacted the 100-year-old Keighley-born World War Two veteran offering to design and make three suits for him.

The 100-year-old replied and invited Mr Khan to his home where he completed his 100-lap challenge which raised more than £32 million for NHS charities.

Captain Sir Tom tried on his three suits for the first time when he came home to Keighley last month.

He is the latest well-known name to be kitted out by IK Collections, which has a shop in Westgate, Bradford, with other clients including boxers Chris Eubank Jr, Amir Khan, Tyson Fury, DJ Tom Zanetti and Duncan James from boyband Blue.

Owner Imran Khan opened the shop in 2016, in the very premises where well-known tailor Ray Lister had served his loyal customers for more than half a century. The firm also has branches in Manchester and Newcastle.

"We sent him a letter and they contacted us. He said they put our letter to the top of their pile.

"We went to see him at his house in June. There was no social contact, which meant we could not measure him up.

"Last month, everything eased so we went down to see him again. We did all of the measurements then and ordered all of the fabric.

"When he came to Keighley a couple of weeks ago, we went to see him.

"He tried all of the suits and everything fitted him perfectly. He kept saying thank you.

"He was telling me stories. He was really nice.

Mr Khan said there was a “massive demand” for the suits, fielding enquiries from both home and abroad, including the USA.

The fabric used to make the suits comes from manufacturers like Bradford-based Barrington Fabrics and Bateman Ogden, plus Otley-based Marton Mills among others.

He has a fond spot for the Westgate premises, which he describes as “original tailoring”.

He even created a special suit for former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn last year, featuring a special ‘For the many, not the few’ message has been printed onto the suit, running down it in pinstripes.
