matthew waite 28 A great looking blue Henry Herbert suit

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 one a blue Henry Herbert suit here. I am very grateful to the young lady who took this photograph, Petra Exton.

roger kennell 9 The pinstripe suit by Henry Herbert Tailors

An excellent example of the 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. I am grateful to the young lady who took this photograph – Petra Exton.

A Complicated but Worthwhile Besoke DJ

March 13, 2010

How do we even begin to start describing this?! Well, perhaps most importantly, it was for a great guy called Dave Philipps.

Spectacular Scottish Linen Jacket

March 12, 2010

This is a great example of how linen can work wonderfully well as weekend and casual sports jackets. This is a linen jacket that Henry Herbert made for a gentleman in the military – hence why he is camera shy and wearing the glasses. The linen is spectacularly complemented by the lining – great looking [...]

Wow – what a suit!

February 19, 2010

An extremely rare breed of suit – brown. It is made even more rare by the special velvet trim collar. Made even more special by the very difficult sewing surround of the last cuff button! (The colour matches the lining). This was an incredibly difficult three-piece suit that took Henry Herbert 37.5 hours of tailoring [...]

Wow – what a waistcoat!

February 18, 2010

A special brown waistcoat, made even more special by the very difficult sewing surround of the last button! (The colour matches the lining). This was part of an incredibly difficult three-piece suit that took Henry Herbert 37.5 hours of tailoring to complete, but well worth the toil. The fabric is a splendid Super 100’s wool [...]

Gentlemen of Bacongo

January 22, 2010

A small suburb of Brazzaville in Congo has become an unlikely style capital, thanks to its dedicated followers of foppish fashion. Dressed to the nines in bowler hats and tailored suits, a group of cigar-wielding ‘sapeurs’ have been strutting their stuff through the shanty town – and on to the pages of a glossy new [...]
