Henry Herbert - the Scootering Savile Row Tailoring Service.
The most extraordinarily fabric yet that Henry Herbert has been involved with! At first glance, it looks like a normal pin stripe suit fabric, the epitome of the classic, English City suit. But look twice and you will actually find the pin stripe is not a stripe at all – it is the customer’s initials woven so finely, in perfectly symmetrical lines, that they appear as the classic English pin stripe. An extraordinarily personal detail for the customer.
A very brave and very striking fabric for a suit we are making for the Managing Director of a large media firm. The fabric is from Bateman Ogden, a Yorkshire based mill who are so old-school they don’t even have a website. The colour looks fabulous and will serve as a great suit for all occasions.
An example of an excellent and very fine cloth from Taylor & Lodge of Huddersfield, England, in a recent Henry Herbert three-piece suit. The secret is, “always keep the style simple and the cloth special.”

Henry Herbert recently visited Pitti Immagine in Florence. It is an annual fair which brings together a collection of young designers, fabric suppliers and tailors. It is spread amongst the glorious Fortezza da Basso. And there is one thing that the Italians are so good at: style. The two photographs above show different approaches to making a jacket – all beautifully cut with stunning fabrics.
