"Huntsman - Savile Row", latest designer label. - Page 3

Sorry. No pictures of the midnight mohair. I am pretty sure I got one of the last lengths of it as it sold quickly by subscription before they even made their US visit. I didn't jump in right away and most of it was sold. They weren't carrying it with them since it was gone, but I saw it on a piece being fit and placed a conditional order in case hey had enough left to make a suit for me. This time, I jumped on the navy.
They have been doing a fantastic run of house fabrics lately. I got a gray flannel chalk stripe made up DB. The nicest cloth, which I didn't get though, was a rope stripe on a twill ground. Ask to see that when you visit.

For a period of time, I'm not sure how long, during the nineties,
Huntsman sold RTW through Barneys. I have a pair of their slacks
and a couple of dress shirts. This didn't seem to affect their bespoke
operation, AFAIK. Did it?

The same could be said about the (US) rtw ranges from the other houses too.

Henry Poole has a RTW label in Japan as well, so I heard.

"So far, the Huntsman site is unchanged except for a new section on L'Roubi." - Dopey


I don't understand how you can say the Huntsman's website is unchanged except for the new owner's chapter because a few months ago there was an online shop which now is gone. Since my Purdey tweed cap unfortunately got washed in the machine yesterday, I looked for those caps in beautiful patterns Huntsman advertised in search of a successor but there is no trace of them now.

Sorry. I never looked at the online shop or noticed it was there. Try calling them.

I wrote Sarah Solomon and just got a friendly reply from her boss. I asked him if the website didn't change and about a tweed cap to replace my Purdey tweed flat cap which has experienced 58 minutes with occasional 40 degree centrigrade water in a washing machine. Those RTW caps on the Huntsman website in unforgettable colourful and beautiful tweed.
