Bespoke Tailoring

"At Huntsman, we believe in the transformative power of bespoke tailoring. A well-tailored suit makes you stand a little taller, and walk a little straighter."

- Campbell Carey, Huntsman Head Cutter & Creative Director

What We Do

Huntsman has been making the world's finest handcrafted clothes, since 1849. The heart of Huntsman always has been, and always will be bespoke. But what sets bespoke tailoring apart from its made-to-measure or ready-to-wear counterparts? Though both play their part in contemporary menswear, it is the art and craft of bespoke tailoring, unchanged for centuries, that has been perfected into an art form. To guarantee a feel and fit which is unparalleled, and a service which is unsurpassed.

What Sets Us Apart

Commissioning a bespoke garment is not unlike commissioning a portrait. It's an art form that begins with up to 28 measurements to create a 2D rendering of your body, as a paper pattern.

Up to 80 hours of handwork by the most skilled team of cutters and tailors on Savile Row are woven into the soul of every one of our tailored garments. From measuring and drafting your paper pattern, to hand stitching and finishing details, no two bodies are the same, and so no two bespoke suits, shirts, or separates are the same.

No bespoke suit leaves our 11 Savile Row store until you are completely satisfied, which is why we will see you at least three times for your fittings.

A bespoke design allows you that extra level of personalisation. Whether it is the luxury of silk printed lining, half an inch on a cuff, or a truly bespoke suit you will want to live in; the quality of our bespoke tailoring speaks for itself when you are still enjoying your garments in 20 years’ time.

"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 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.

With a bespoke suit, handcrafted just for you, you will notice the difference as soon as you put it on. Huntsman is dedicated to bespoke tailoring.

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 £4200, which is comparable to made-to-measure, you can invest in a bespoke suit that is every bit as unique as you are without compromising on quality.

"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."

-Dario Carnera, Huntsman Head Cutter

Meet The Huntsman Team

The House Cut
It was once said that Huntsman clients could recognise one another in passing,
just by the cut of their suits.
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
Same iconic style, but for a relaxed take on traditional tailoring, for the 'off-duty' Huntsman.
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.
