A great looking Holland & Sherry fabric in a suit Henry Herbert has just made for a young man from J.P. Morgan. The pictured suit is at its first fitting stage, or what is also known as a baste fitting. This is followed a few weeks later by a second fitting , or what is sometimes called a forward fitting. And a little while after that, depending on any necessary alterations, the suit will be completed after a third fitting, or what is known as a finish-bar-finish. This is all part of the (enjoyable, for the customer and the tailor!) bespoke suit making process. Henry Herbert cuts, starts, makes and finishes every single suit in England.
