Look Twice!

Look Twice Look Twice!

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.

Glorious Seersucker and All That Jazz

DSC 07121 Glorious Seersucker and All That Jazz

Henry Herbert was extremely privileged to make the above suit: privileged on two counts in fact. The first, because the suit was created for the wedding of Ray Goold (above), a wonderful and talented musician. Ray plays with the Solent City Jazzmen in Southampton. The second, because Ray asked for an extremely rare, but special, fabric for his suit – Seersucker. We chose a seersucker fabric from Holland & Sherry. Unfortunately, the photograph may not do it justice, looking at it on a computer, as seersucker fabric is woven in such a way that it gives a glorious looking wrinkled appearance in places and is great, either as as suit or stand alone trousers or jacket.

Woolen or Worsted: That is the Question!

There is always a question about what is the best fabric to choose for a suit. The first thing you should check for is the purity of the fabric: make sure there are no nasty man man fibres in there such as polyester. But which wool should you choose: woolen or worsted? As a rough rule of thumb, woolens can be softer and worsted sharper. The below offers a more technical glimpse into the world of woollens and worsted fabric which is hopefully useful when making the dive into bespoke suit making!

Woolens are spun from short fibres
Wortsed is spun from long fibres

Woolens are spun from coarse fibres
Wortsed is spun from fine fibres

Woolen fibres are washed and carded
Wortsed fibres are washed and combed

Woolens have a medium twists
Wortsed have a high twist

Woolens are bulky
Wortsed is smooth

Woolens tends to be heavier weight
Wortsed tends to be lighter weight

A ‘Birdseye’ Suit

An unusual and special fabric called Birdseye. The wool is from Holland & Sherry. We get a lot of queries about this fabric – it is a traditional pattern and we are asked if it is still contemporary enough to be worn today. Well, the answer is yes…this particular fabric is all the more special because it is in a petrol blue – a very popular colour of choice at the moment.

Glorious Herringbone in a Henry Herbert suit

Bespoke Herringbone SuitHerringbone Suit

An excellent example of a herringbone fabric….but very difficult to photograph too! The fabric is from Hield Mills, in Huddersfield and is a glorious blue. This suit is in its baste stage for one of our customers who works for a large international financial group and who, interestingly, told us that the Chinese save 50% of all of their income. It puts the British to shame. Unfortunately, the photograph may not do the pattern justice, but it will turn out to be a very striking and very sharp suit.

An Electric Blue Suit for a Henry Herbert Customer

Bespoke Baste Suit Fitting

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.

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
