Henry Herbert rings the wedding bells
September 18, 2010 By
We were privileged to be invited to make the shirt, waistcoat and trousers for this young gentleman for his wedding day. He selected a crisp white shirt, with the fabric from Acorn Fabrics in Lancashire, a double breasted waistcoat, using a luxurious Scottish cotton from Harrisons of Edinburgh and a pinstriped pair of trousers (with a subtle orange tinge to the stripes). The combination looks great and his bride seems happy with the result!
Linen Ahoy!
June 2, 2010 By
A glorious looking blue linen suit from Harrisons of Edinburgh, which Henry Herbert made for a magazine editor (and former Royal Navy officer) in London. You can just see a flash of the special lining that he chose too. He also requested brace buttons, which sit discreetly inside the trouser waistband, together with a fishtail finish to the rear of the trousers. A great looking suit which sits well on his tall frame.

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, the reason he is camera shy and wearing the dark glasses. The linen is spectacularly complemented by the lining – great looking Bengal stripe. Both the linen and the lining are from Harrisions of Edinburgh.

Henry Herbert makes bespoke overcoats. They are handmade, in England, from the finest English & Scottish wools. We use the most luxurious fabrics from some of the best over coating mills in the world, including Harrisons of Edinburgh and Dugdale Brothers of Huddersfield. We are always keen to experiment with new fabrics and new styles too – if you have a particular idea or fabric you wish to use! Below are some of the overcoats Henry Herbert has made for customers around the world. Just contact Henry Herbert for more information.

The Slim and Short (above) is traditionally made of a charcoal fabric with a contrasting velvet collar. It was originally conceived as a riding and hunting coat, but is found today in a variety of environments and is particularly popular in the City of London. This is one example we made for a young gentleman in London. It has a great, and heavy, 17oz grey herringbone from Harrions of Edinburgh, complemented with a lovely black velvet trim from Holland and Sherry in London.

The Chesterfield takes its name from the nineteenth century Earl who brought it to popularity and is traditionally a single-breasted overcoat with concealed buttons reaching the knees. It is most notable for having no waist seam and is tailored in a variety of cloths.
