Huntsman Bespoke
Huntsman has been making the world's finest handcrafted clothes, since 1849. Bespoke lies at the heart of the house, refined over centuries, the art of bespoke tailoring remains unchanged in its principles, delivering a feel and fit that are unparalleled, and a level of service that is unsurpassed.
What Sets Us Apart
Commissioning a bespoke garment is like commissioning a portrait, an art form that begins with up to 28 measurements, translated into a unique paper pattern drafted exclusively for you. Up to 80 hours of handwork by Savile Row’s most skilled cutters and tailors shape every garment. From drafting to hand-stitching and finishing, each piece is built around the individual, no two bodies, and no two Huntsman garments, are ever the same.
We conduct at least three fittings to ensure a perfect fit, and no suit leaves 11 Savile Row until you are entirely satisfied. Bespoke offers complete personalisation, whether it is the luxury of silk printed lining, half an inch on a cuff, the quality of our bespoke tailoring speaks for itself when you are still enjoying your garments in 20 years’ time.
OUR PROCESS
"I create clothes for every kind of woman because bespoke tailoring is for every kind of woman. You can feel both beautiful and powerful, you don't need to compromise."
- Magdalena Handwerker, Head Ladieswear Cutter
Why Choose Bespoke?
Ready-to-wear or made to measure garments are made to a standard block that doesn’t accommodate for the uniqueness and nuances of the individual form.
The made-to-measure services offered by other tailors use a standard-sized base pattern, which is altered to your frame. Some modifications may occur, but you will never truly enjoy that exclusive feeling of wearing a tailored suit.
With bespoke tailoring starting from £7000, you will notice the difference as soon as you put it on. Huntsman is dedicated to bespoke tailoring.
"We call it the art of bespoke, because commissioning a bespoke garment is not unlike commissioning a portrait. It's a physical representation of who you are; it's our job to make you look your very best."
-Campbell Carey, Huntsman Head Cutter

OUR SERVICES
Our Team
Huntsman is proud to employ the best and brightest craftspeople and client managers on Savile Row. You'll find that commissioning a bespoke garment begins with a conversation, but is a relationship that will last a lifetime. Our team is here to assist your every sartorial requirement, with specialists in equestrian wear, shooting wear and formal wear, as well as our dedicated ladies' bespoke team.
House Style
You'll find that every good bespoke tailor has a unique 'house' style. Huntsman is famous for our one-button silhouette, one of the most complex styles to cut, yet one of the most flattering. This is our signature Huntsman look, that sets us apart. Although today we can make any style of garment, from the classic to the conceptual; our house cut is one on which we stake our name.

The House Cut
The iconic Huntsman Cut was first devised by Colin Hammick, legendary Huntsman Head Cutter, Creative Director and arbiter of taste in the second half of the 20th century.
Taking from our equestrian heritage, his masterstroke was to refine the classic hacking jacket to create a quintessentially British look that was unique to Huntsman. Hammick elevated the waisted silhouette, high armhole, and longer flared skirt of a hacking jacket by blending the elegance of the single-button fasting dinner jacket. The result is a stylish coat with firm shoulders, a naturally structured chest, and clean lines that compliment all figures. Although quintessentially British in conception, this one-button style became an instant favourite of Hollywood’s leading lights, the likes of Gregory Peck, Paul Newman and Frank Sinatra all adopted the Huntsman style, and made it a success.

The Weekend Cut
With the same one-button house style, The Weekend Cut was created by Huntsman Head Cutter and Creative Director Campbell Carey, and boasts the same construction and integrity of a traditional bespoke tailored blazer, only with a fit and feel as comfortable as your favourite cardigan.
The iconic Huntsman Cut is reimagined with a new silhouette for the weekend. This is Huntsman bespoke tailoring, but in a cut that unlocks a whole new wardrobe. Now you can enjoy casual comfort without compromising style or execution. Meticulous cloth choice and construction details provide several benefits. A softer shoulder line with thinner padding allows the cashmere to drape naturally against your body, whilst retaining its shape. Minimal lining and thinner padding in the sleeves allow for ease of movement and reduce weight. All of which creates a supremely versatile off-duty jacket that is relaxed, comfortable, and unequivocally Huntsman.
