Clients with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with know that my bespoke recommendations are always tailored to their individual needs; there’s no cookie-cutter approach here. With over a decade of experience on Savile Row, complemented by extensive travels across America and the Middle East, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the nuances of texture, fit, and lifestyle.
My passion for shooting has further sharpened my expertise in tweeds, ensuring every client is impeccably dressed in the field, without compromising on practicality. I’ve curated cloths that reflect both my personal style and technical insight: a rich, earthy house tweed, perfect for autumnal excursions, and a crisp navy fresco wool, ideal for formal city events, even after a long-haul flight.

Travel & Low Maintenance
A 15-ounce cloth would typically be associated with garments worn during the colder months, except for fresco. The porous nature of fresco allows it to be worn even in the warmest climates, making a heavier-weight suiting breathable. Fresco is also incredibly crease-resistant, which makes it ideal for travel.
"During a bitterly cold winter in Chicago, at O'Hare Airport, I was snowed in while waiting for a flight to the West Coast, resulting in a six-hour delay. I happened to be travelling in a heavyweight fresco blazer. I rolled it up to use as a pillow and, after a nap, unfolded it to find it virtually crease-free-ready to wear as I boarded my flight."
House Tweed
House Peck 18oz
Country Suiting & Field Sports
“The fawn Peck House tweed, woven on the Isle of Islay, is a personal favourite. I’ve worn it for several shooting seasons; it’s warm, yet easy to maintain. If you ever get muddy, simply let the mud dry and brush it off. The bold patterns, iconic of Huntsman, will always ensure you stand out on the peg. I tend to save this for the colder, later part of the season. By that point, my eye is in, and when you're wearing a check this bold, you want to be absolutely certain you don't miss a single bird that flies overhead.”

Shooting - Warmer Climates
“This cloth is best suited for shooting earlier in the season, or for bird shooting in warmer climates, such as partridge in Spain or dove in Argentina. In recent years, we've experienced increasingly warm starts to the shooting season. Traditional heavy tweeds can be far too warm and uncomfortable when shooting grouse in August, or at the start of the pheasant and partridge season. This worsted tweed offers the smart, traditional country look while keeping you comfortable, at least until the cold snap arrives.”

Shooting
“The perfect fabric for a shooting suit to be worn throughout the season. At 14oz, it’s light enough for the start of the season, ideal for wearing just the shooting vest with a pair of breeks. As the weather turns colder, opt for the full shooting suit, which can be comfortably layered under a waterproof technical coat on wet and chilly days. The coat also pairs well with corduroy trousers, moleskine, or even denim jeans, making it a versatile choice for country pub lunches or relaxed weekend social wear."

Shooting / Riding
“This bunch is over 75 years old and, barring a few colourful additions, remains virtually unchanged. The range includes cloths at 16oz, 19oz, and up to a robust 26oz. The 16oz is ideal for the pheasant and partridge season, featuring a wide selection of Lovat tweeds with contrasting windowpane checks. The 26oz, on the other hand, is perfect for the coldest days in the north of Scotland. It also makes a superb hacking jacket, capable of withstanding even the harshest climates. My father owns a sports coat in the 26oz cloth, inherited and originally cut by Colin Hammick in 1966. He has worn it every winter across the UK and Europe, and it still looks immaculate."
