Glorious Seersucker Fabric

by Henry Herbert on August 23, 2010

DSC 07121 Glorious Seersucker Fabric

Henry Herbert was extremely privileged to make the above suit: privileged on two counts in fact. The first because the suit was 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 choose 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 suitor stand alone trousers or jacket.

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.

Look Twice!

January 20, 2010

The most extra-ordinarily 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 [...]
