Henry Herbert - the Scootering Savile Row Tailoring Service.
We have been invited to design and tailor a unique Nehru jacket for a gentleman’s wedding. The Nehru jacket is a hip-length tailored coat for men or women, crated in India in the 1940s. The jacket essentially blends the collar of the achkan, historically the royal court dress of Indian nobles, with the Western suit jacket. It was popularised by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. (Source: Wikipedia).
The sports jacket is an essential garment for every wardrobe. It can be made from a variety of different fabrics, including linen, silk, cotton, mohair and wool. They all offer their own individual merits, but a well cut, bespoke linen sports jacket can look super sharp. A common concern is that linen can crease easily – as long as you look after the linen jacket, it will look after you. This is a short video of a bespoke sports jacket made by Henry Herbert Tailors.
Henry Herbert recently made a dinner jacket and trousers for Guy Harrington (pictured), from Harrington Alexander. The dinner suit was for a special charity event hosted by Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff.
On the inside of every Henry Herbert jacket, we always make a little label, discreetly hidden inside the inner pocket, stating the date we made the suit and who it was made for. This is a tradition of Savile Row.
A great blue jacket, designed with cloth from Dugdale Bros, complimented with a sharp looking shirt, with shirting cloth from Acorn Fabrics. We have made this for a customer who is getting married in the spring and, although the fitting is only in its baste fitting stage, it is already achieving the sharp effect that such a combination of colour, cut and style can offer.
