Henry Herbert is a visiting tailor service, but for those customers which prefer to meet on Savile Row, we work from the Holland & Sherry showrooms. The photograph above (taken by the excellent photographer Greg Funnell for Henry Herbert) is a glimpse into one of the many cupboards of fabrics they house there. The Holland & Sherry office, at Number 9 Savile Row (on the 5th floor), is run by two extremely friendly and helpful people Nick and Sharon. If you ever have a special or unusual fabric request, the chances are extremely high that they will have it. Simply telephone either Nick or Sharon on 020 7437 0404.

This is a great piece by the BBC (image copyright: BBC).“
“The way a man wears his trousers may reveal his age, research says. But when it comes to waistband placement, history shows there is no golden rule. You no longer have to eye his hairline to determine a man’s age. There’s a new way to figure out just how old he is: take a look at his beltline. A survey from department store Debenhams suggests that a man’s waistband rises and falls throughout his life. Trousers bottom out at the age of 16 with below-the-hip styles and peak at 57, just seven inches below the armpit. Young boys may wear their trousers at their natural waist while being dressed by their parents, but they generally don’t return to this style until they reach their late 20s.”
