Shifts is a project by photojournalist and podcaster Jerome Whittingham, in which he works a full shift with an interesting business or organisation, photographing and sound recording as he goes.

This shift is a day of style, and a little bit steamy too.

A gem of a business that maybe you wouldn’t expect to find in Hull, one of just a handful of its kind outside of London in fact.

Based on Grimston Street in Hull, Cock of the Walk is a group of award winning bespoke cutters, tailors, and hand finishers.

Headed by trained coat-maker Gillian Long, their craft is carried out using the time honoured skills found in Savile Row workrooms.
