We wanted to let everyone know: we constantly keep a number of in-stock and ex-display Chesterfields ready and waiting — each one handmade with the same care, craftsmanship and attention to detail as our bespoke pieces. Most are available at significantly reduced prices.

They carry all the character, soul and heritage you expect from us — and unlike our made-to-order pieces, they can be on their way to your home as quickly as possible.

We’re constantly updating our stock page, so keep an eye on it for new Chesterfields and sofas as they become available.

But be quick — once they’re gone, they’re gone.

We recently received this lovely photograph from our customer, Deborah—and frankly, Huxley appears to have made himself very much at home.

Here you can see a rather handsome pair of Huxleys (a Standard Huxley and a "mini" Huxley) in Vintage Honey leather, finished with full stud detailing and castor feet. Beautiful sofas in a beautiful room - We couldn’t have chosen a better home for them ourselves.

Thank you for sharing Deborah. We love your new Huxleys—and the room they’re living in. Thanks again. Warren.

Handmade in Britain. Settled in nicely.

Talking of Christmas, there’s a new chap joining us by the fire.

Meet Spitfire—our brand-new, handmade leather wing chair. Built in England. Handsome from every angle. And perfectly engineered for doing very little indeed.

He hasn’t landed on the website just yet, but with his classic British lines, beautiful leather and impeccable craftsmanship, there was only one name for him.
Spitfire.

Made in Britain. Built for lounging. Coming soon to S.W. James. 🇬🇧

If you’d like to learn more—or simply pop in and take him for a test flight—Spitfire is now on display at our Bollington shop. Alternatively, just give Warren a call anytime you like on : 0161 359 5462 And he can tell you more.

We know, we know… it’s September. Far too early to mention the C-word. 🎄🎄

But if you’re dreaming of an S.W. James Chesterfield in front of the Christmas tree this festive period, our order book is filling up fast—and the cut-off for Christmas delivery is the end of October, which is approaching scary fast.

So, before we return to pretending Christmas isn’t happening yet, just wanted to let you know now’s a good time to start thinking about placing your order.

Contact Warren to go over your ideas anytime you like, or book an appointment to visit our shop, to see our Chesterfields and leather sofas in person. Call any time on 0161 359 5462

For this post, we thought we'd talk about Huxley—our most popular and comfortable Chesterfield.

Every Huxley we make is handmade here in North Manchester by the skilled craftspeople at S.W. James, using traditional upholstery techniques and carefully selected materials. From its solid frame and hand-finished buttoning to its soft foam cushioning and supportive super-sprung base, every detail is thoughtfully crafted for exceptional comfort and lasting quality.

Available in a beautiful selection of Vintage and Rustic leathers—from timeless Dark Brown, Honey and Green to characterful Slate, W**e and Ivory—Huxley can be tailored to suit your home and style.

A true British classic, handmade with care by S.W. James and made for relaxing.

It’s been a cold and snowy start to the year.

And with the chilly weather looking set to stick around for a little while yet, these photos felt just right to share. They landed in our inbox recently from one of our lovely customers, and there’s something genuinely special about seeing a sofa properly lived in — relaxed, welcoming, and doing exactly what it’s meant to do.

If the cold and the snowy weather does stick around, our advice is simple: make the most of it. Get the fire on, put the kettle on (or pour a glass of red), pull a blanket close and settle in. Let the weather do what it likes outside while you stay warm, cosy, and comfortable indoors.

Chilly days are best enjoyed from the warm side of the window — especially when you’re curled up on a S.W. James.

I hope everyone’s keeping well — and warm — this January.

For anyone new to S.W. James and perhaps considering a new sofa this year, I thought I’d share a little about who we are, and why so many people choose us when it comes to something as important as a sofa you’ll live with for years.

We’re often described as one of the finest Chesterfield and sofa makers in England. But what matters more to us is why our customers say that.

If you take a look at our 5-star Trustpilot reviews, you’ll notice a pattern. Time and again, people mention the same things: comfort, craftsmanship, honesty — and feeling genuinely looked after from first conversation to final delivery.

At heart, S.W. James is a small, family-run business making Chesterfields and sofas the traditional way — by hand, at our own factory in North Manchester. The difference is simple: we believe a Chesterfield should be just as comfortable as it is beautiful. That belief shapes everything we do, and it’s why we’re now proudly known as The Home of the Comfortable Chesterfield.

And don’t just take my word for it. We share real customer video testimonials on our website (you can see them on the homepage of our website) — not actors, not scripts — just people sitting on their own S.W. James sofas, talking honestly about why they chose us and how they feel living with them.

If you’d like a quiet browse, you can find all our reviews and customer videos on our website.

And if you ever fancy a chat — about sofas or anything else — you’re always welcome to get in touch with me.

Our January Sale is now on - If you’re considering your own handmade Chesterfield or sofa, now is a lovely time to do so.

We can talk about comfort all day — but an S.W. James Chesterfield only really makes sense once you’ve sat in one.

Book a private appointment at the S.W. James shop and take your time. Think of it as a relaxed visit to explore our collection, settle into our Chesterfields, and enjoy a coffee and a chat with Warren. As our resident Chesterfield expert, he’ll happily guide you through our leathers, fabrics and styles, answering questions and sharing a little insight along the way.

Sit. Sink in. Stay a while.

You’ll leave knowing exactly what makes an S.W. James different — and why we’re known as The Home of the Comfortable Chesterfield.

To book your appointment at our Cheshire showroom, call Warren on 0161 675 3231 or email [email protected].

We recently received this wonderful customer review video from Rob and Sarah. After visiting 11 different high street furniture stores and finding nothing that felt truly special, they finally found what they were looking for at S.W. James — furniture with real soul. Handmade, crafted to last, and in leather that only gets better with time. Best of all, their beautiful dog Twig has already curled up and made herself right at home. Thank you Rob and Sarah
