New York, New York….

Fabric: Brown herringbone. Cut: Slim, Single Breasted. Occasion: Wedding of an Englishman in New York. Notes: We were privileged to be invited to make a suit for this young gentleman from London who married in New York, just a few days after the severe hurricanes that hit the east coast of America. The glorious brown herringbone sits comfortably with the contemporary style of the suit: angled pockets and a one button single breasted finish to the jacket.

The Cowboy Cut – Boot Length Trousers!
December 16, 2010 By
A very unusal but special suit for a young hotelier in London. The bespoke tailored suit is made from a fine English wool from Holland & Sherry. As you may notice the suit jacket is finely cut and sits with a pair of ‘boot cut’ trousers. This is a special customer who knows exactly what he wants and is testament to the fact that with bespoke there are no rules left any more, merely preferences.
Henry Herbert makes a suit for Lord Herbert!

The classic English double breasted suit, in a wonderful chalk stripe fabric from Huddersfield based mill, Dugdales Bros. This creation, by Henry Herbert Tailors, was made for Lord Herbert (pictured) – no relation to the firm, but, hopefully, a happy customer in his striking and well fitted suit. His choice of a navy chalk stripe cuts a dashing figure against the backdrop of Chelsea harbour in London.
Sharp suit for the City……

A Henry Herbert creation for a young City gentleman. The electric blue fabric from Holland and Sherry is complemented by some sparkling, brown shoes and crisp white shirt. A good looking suit on a good looking chap!

A terrific looking blue wool suit made by Henry Herbert Tailors, accompanied by smartly polished shoes. A great example of how striking this colour fabric can look in a well cut suit. You can also see a video of a blue Henry Herbert suit here. I am very grateful to the young lady who took this photograph, Petra Exton.

The three piece suit is a fabulous, but intricate creation. You may imagine a variety of people wearing them in a a vrierty of different environments – but can you imagine yourself in one? Perhaps you should start! A well cut three piece suit is as comfortable in the city today as it is in the country and every well dressed gentleman should have one. This short video by Henry Herbert Tailors shows you one of our carefully crafted three piece suits, using a Tweed fabric from an English mill.
Harris Tweed suit by Henry Herbert Tailors
July 16, 2010 By
A Henry Herbert suit, made with the mystical Harris Tweed. A finely cut suit that looks striking on the young man wearing it – Marcus Jaye, creative director of The Chic Geek. The photograph, which I think captures the magical qualities of Harris Tweed, was taken by Petra Exton, an excellent young graduate of the London College of Communication.
The pinstripe suit by Henry Herbert Tailors
July 16, 2010 By
An excellent example of a bespoke pinstripe suit, which remains as popular (and striking) as ever. This creation by Henry Herbert Tailors was made as a single breasted, two button suit with a pure English wool from Duffin & Peace in Huddersfield – believe it or not, there are still some English mills left.
