When you think of the three-piece suit, you think of the Thomas Crown Affair, or Al Pacino in The Godfather Part II, looking as fierce as any actor ever. You think of high-powered attorneys and CEOs roaming the courtrooms and boardrooms of the 1970s.
The question is: Do you ever think of yourself in one?You might want to start. The three-piece suit no longer suggests you have the corner office (or a tommy gun); it suggests you have style. Of course, it’s not as easy as one two three. You need to know how to wear it and where to wear it. The three piece offers a razor sharp suit. It even has other uses as recently reported by the New York Times. Whatever your use for a three-piece, every well dressed gentleman should have one. |
Autumn is approaching…make a getaway in a three-piece.

Henry Herbert Overcoats
January 22, 2010 By
Henry Herbert makes bespoke overcoats. They are handmade, in England, from the finest English & Scottish wools. We use the most luxurious fabrics from some of the best over coating mills in the world, including Harrisons of Edinburgh and Dugdale Brothers of Huddersfield. We are always keen to experiment with new fabrics and new styles too – if you have a particular idea or fabric you wish to use! Below are some of the overcoats Henry Herbert has made for customers around the world. Just contact Henry Herbert for more information.

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 takes its name from the nineteenth century Earl who brought it to popularity and is traditionally a single-breasted overcoat with concealed buttons reaching the knees. It is most notable for having no waist seam and is tailored in a variety of cloths.
