Someone should point Huntsman to this thread. I would love to hear their perspective.
It will not be I.
Why you trouble maker, you. As a citizen of Great Britain (dual national here) I do hope I am not dragged -- kicking and screaming it's dopey's fault -- into court!
I will add here a part of what I said in a PM to Dopey.
Bargeman's bunch lost Huntsman in 2004 ... and it's my understanding that the new owners have a more sincere interest in tailoring. The quality may indeed be improving again ... even if the old system of coat making is no more. Although I do know for a fact that much of the best talent went over to Richard Anderson ... that's not to say Huntsman has lost everyting.
I know Peter Smith ... and have only good things to say about him. In fact it has pained me when he has been at the front window as I walk by on my way to RA. My last Huntsman cutter was Terry Haste ... and I liked his work.
Back in the AAAC days, I once made a remark about Sulka ... that at their worst they were still far better than most. My comment was, of course, in reference to the often heard criticism about the depths to which Sulka had fallen from their glory days. So even if RA has much of the old Huntsman talent ... I would imagine that Huntsman is still better than most.
