Glorious Seersucker Fabric

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.

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 [...]
