HUSBANDS (Paris)

[ppk]

Thank you @clee1982, @kindofyoung and @merkwurdigliebe. That's really helpful. I have attached a picture of the cloth. I need to think on it.

Beautiful, I vote patch pockets.
You'll be able to find plenty of flap pocket jackets anyway, without going custom.

If you're doing patch pockets, I found keeping the breast pocket a welted pocket vs it also being a patch pocket serves to maintain the signature 70s-inspired Husbands styling, particularly if you pair it with the wide notch lapels.

 

[clee1982]

I'm still for flap, but that's definitely personal preference. Though agree on breast pocket, definitely welt not patch

 

[ppk]

OK. Hip patch pockets and a welted breast pocket it is!

Hey everybody,

Does anybody here wear a 40R US in Husbands tailoring? If so, are you able to provide measurements of the jacket.

I’m tempted to take the plunge, but want to make sure I have the sizing right before ordering.

Thanks in advance!

 

[clee1982]

you can ask them, they're pretty quick (and the ones on website already have measurements, you just have to click on)

Didn’t see that. Thanks for the tip!

Echoing @DorianGreen - this is lovely!

Got the new brown leather sidezips in early, very pleased with them. For whatever reason this shade of brown in a slim silhouette with a round toe is hard to come by from other comparable brands. They have a new metal YKK zipper that's quite smooth out of the box - I bought the grey leather ones a year ago and those zippers were borderline broken, so this is a major improvement. Retail is $806.

Also a couple side-by-side comparison shots of their black leather sidezips and some old Hedi Slimane era Saint Laurent Wyatt 40 sidezips for anyone curious. They're different in pretty much every regard (lasts, types of leather, zippers etc.) but are stylistically interchangeable. New or very lightly worn Saint Laurents are easy to find on grailed so can you maybe save some money there if you don't care about those minute differences.

On an unrelated note, SSENSE has delisted all of the Husbands stuff they had on sale and removed them from the list of brands on the sidebar. Would be really unfortunate if they no longer carry the brand but it honestly wouldn't surprise me.

Just commissioned my first Husbands suit after meeting Isaac from the team today: 11cm notch lapels, flap pockets, straight leg in a dark green-ish linen. waiting time of five months or so

Rue d'Uzès

Rue d'Uzès is the home of Lafayette Saltiel Drapiers from whose archives we found the forgotten colours of Nuit parisienne. This alluring green is revived by a small hint of blue. Timeless and uncomplicated.

was tempted to go for the flared leg but we thought the linen might not suit it. really excited to see how it comes along. just wanted to ask, i've seen some (obviously) great fit pics here, but what type of shoes would most of you pair with their tailoring in the summer (ie other than boots)? im thinking less round toes/chunky shoes and something like a sleek loafer? I've looked at the loafer Husbands offers but I'm not 100% sure if it would fit with most of my wardrobe

As you said, I would go for a sleek loafer, but a plain cap toe Oxford (without broguing) would be a good option as well.
