A Gentleman's London, Episode Six: Huntsman 

The two also have great stories to tell about tailoring and the Row. Real gentlemen.

He has retired now that lovely man

@@RichardEnglander Terry hasn’t retired lol. I was in the shop last week. Did you mean John Kent?

@@mikewingert5521 sorry I meant John, I wasn't paying attention! I stand corrected

@@RichardEnglander I hate social media…..it always makes me sound so terse in the stead of sounding jolly.

I like the traditional but comfortable style of Anderson and Sheppard. My father first took me there when I was a teenager 50 years ago.

Haters = jealousy

I noticed that and presumed it wasn't a coincidence. A Huntsman tartan was my thought.

A wonderful compliment

Once you book a consult, the cutter will meet with you and determine your needs. lifestyle, and other factors. They take your measurements for a coat and then trousers. They have thousands of types of cloth to order from various British mills. Once your measurements are taken they will cut a pattern which is used to cut the cloth. If you are a first time customer it may require three fittings. The suit will require less once a pattern is cut. The cutter worries about a "design". Each tailor house on the row has their own style of cut. Huntsman will be different from Anderson and Sheppard and Dege and Skinner will be different from Gieves and Hawkes. Most customers if new to bespoke tailoring will get a solid navy blue and solid charcoal grey suit to start. Of course, it gets addictive. Once you have one suit, you need another. And then of course you'll need a tuxedo. And then a top coat. You can always try different tailors. There are many in London, including those on the row.

Very enjoyed watching. It would be great to have a bit more about the cut and how it differs from the others on the Row…

In that case maybe pop to Kent & Haste and see how you feel there. Very down to earth people who understand that not all of us have a long history of bespoke suits.

Womp womp

I think it just now references standard No.1 dress “ the blue patrol jacket” or as they are referred to by some regiments as “Postman’s blues”, all have French rear seams

I’m afraid the length does not also mean it’s interesting but I was born left handed but my nursery teacher forced me to write with my right hand so I’m all higgledy-piggledy

@@tfchamberlin Thanks to you I have just learnt a new English expression (higgledy-piggledy) I am correct in assuming you are ambidextrous? Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

😂

I'm 40 drop 9. It is almost impossible to find off-the-peg suits which fit me.

@@RichardEnglander I feel ya. Me too, for the most part, more so when accounting for dropped shoulder, prominent chest, and all the other peculiarities one doesn’t know he has until he shops for a bespoke suit.

He stated his preference was he only wears double-breasted. (Time-stamp 7:30). I hope this helped.

@@Ecojock Thanks man. Skimmed through this video and missed it. Cheers.

I wonder was there a reason for this? Surely has to be an explanation or a logic, given everything else on the coat is immaculate. Perhaps it was a "necessary evil"

Why the rudeness?

Nothing like having a chip or two. Which shoulder do you prefer to wear them on?

Womp womp

It's fine...i have seen u before..u luv 2 complain....😂😮😅😅😅😊!!!

That was a bit harsh. I do not like the fabric at all, but "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"

It is perfect and not for everybody.
