In our Cutting Theatres, Workshops and amongst our clients the mood has been one of optimism and cheerfulness as colleagues have been reunited and we are able to meet all of your sartorial requirements as we move out of lockdown.

Huntsman Perrenials

Campbell Carey introduces a timeless collection for the contemporary Huntsman.

“This closely curated collection of staple pieces are styled to fit straight into any discerning gentleman’s wardrobe. As always, it’s our ethos to source cloth from the mills we use for our bespoke garments, assuring a bespoke quality and longevity for our Ready-To-Wear. Look after these garments and they will last a lifetime!”

-Campbell Carey, Creative Director

With easy-to-mix separates and versatile suiting, this collection includes lifetime garments that fit effortlessly into your wardrobe that you’ll love to wear time and time again.

This collection shares ethos as our bespoke tailoring; beautifully crafted garments, designed to love, and to last. The Huntsman Perennials Collection is designed to work seamlessly with our Made To Order service, meaning there’s no end to how this collection works for you.

Key pieces of the collection include a sumptuously soft and lightweight unstructured cashmere blazer, which can be dressed up with a shirt and tie, or looks equally as sophisticated with your favourite merino knitwear or polo shirt.

Inspired by 1919, a year of espionage, secret societies and sartorial excellence.

The forthcoming installment of Kingsman, The King’s Man is an action-packed prequel to the first two Kingsman movies. For this movie Huntsman, the inspiration for the movies, was more involved than ever, creating the bespoke outfits for many of the stars of Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming blockbuster.

Look Familiar? The Huntsman shop was transported back to 1919 for the upcoming movie. Set in 1919, which is the same year H. Huntsman & Sons established at 11 Savile Row, and since then, our august fitting rooms have been graced by numerous personalities of the British espionage world, as well as the stars of several other spy movies. To celebrate our secret service heritage, and our arrival on Savile Row, we launched an exclusive selection of luxury accessories and gifts inspired by Huntsman in 1919.


It is a collection designed to complement both our Ready To Wear and Bespoke accessories, making for great additions to your existing wardrobe, the collection of classic accessories features our 1919 logo, and morse code designs.

We sent cryptic communications across our social channels, those quick enough to crack it enjoyed exclusive access to the collection ahead of the launch.

A Visit to The Huntsman Archive

Inspired by the courageous and often outrageous exploits of the characters in The King’s Man and our other espionage associates, we invited Fashion Curator and Garment Archivist Cyana Madsen to visit our archive and find out more about our own heroic Huntsman in the year 1919. Unearthing remarkable stories from our ledgers, Cyana discovered Huntsman customers whose stories could inspire action movies of their own!

A Grand Re-Opening!

On April 12th we warmly welcomed clients back to 11 Savile Row. To celebrate we installed a window display encouraging you to ‘get back to life in style!’ The installation includes 4 unique scenes, each depicting a Huntsman service; bespoke shirts, bespoke ladieswear, The Weekend Cut and our new Perennials collection

Bespoke Shirting at Huntsman

When we re-opened our doors on April 12th, it was with a reinvigorating bespoke shirting service. We’re very pleased to welcome back to Huntsman renowned Shirt Maker Sean OFlynn, who injects a renewed enthusiasm and the very highest standards to our bespoke shirting.

Sean originally began his bespoke shirt making career in 1977 when he joined Huntsman as an apprentice, aged 16 years old. Now, he’s returned home with the reputation of one of the finest Shirt Makers in London. It is with much excitement that we see Sean back at 11 Savile Row, meaning that Huntsman clients can now enjoy the finest quality bespoke shirting to compliment their Huntsman bespoke tailoring.

Bespoke Shirt Making is an important part of Huntsman’s story. We have offered bespoke shirting for most of the twentieth century, Choosing a bespoke shirt guarantees a fit and feel that is as comfortable as a second skin, and will be a pleasure to live and work in.

The

Safari

Suit

Huntsman’s most notable Safari suit was made for Clark Gable in his starring role in Mogambo in 1953. As well as suits for Gable, Huntsman also made matching safari suits for his leading ladies, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner, and most recently replicated the original design with long trousers for a charity auction. For all hot-weather excursions, whether you’re on Safari or simply out on the deck, we think the Safari suit is an icon of menswear for cool summer dressing!
