Published
to celebrate 175 years as one of the finest tailors on Savile Row, Huntsman
reveals its rich history of making impeccable clothing for the most discerning
clientele in the world
Huntsman
was founded in 1849 and is still famous today as one of the finest—and most
innovative—bespoke tailors in London. Huntsman’s clients range from royalty to
film stars, and include Queen Victoria, Clark Gable, Grace Kelly, Coco Chanel,
Hubert de Givenchy, Bill Blass, Lucien Freud, Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Taylor, and
Edward Enninful, to name just a few. The brand also served as style and
location inspiration for the Kingsman films, starring Colin Firth and Taron
Egerton. As well as its history, the book reveals each stage of ordering and
making the perfect bespoke suit, which involves 80 hours of hand work, and a
practical style guide for anyone who wants to know what to wear for the right
occasion. Sumptuous photography by Simon Upton illustrates the quintessential
town, country and holiday settings in which one might wear Huntsman.
With a
foreword by Dame Glenda Bailey DBE, former Editor-in-Chief of Harper’s Bazaar,
an introduction by veteran style writer, Nick Foulkes, and a sparkling text by
author Tom Chamberlin, editor of The Rake magazine, this is an essential and
inspiring guide on how to dress to perfection
