Everyone can 'hate' the suit... notice how every line is connected. Every pattern is matched, from collar to trouser, the craftsmanship to put the suit together is spectacular. You may not like it... but it is great.
Not hating it ❤, but I can’t help noticing how much nicer the vintage one is. Ticket pocket, not having the dual brown stripes running down the middle, better shoulders… the craftsmanship is great on both, but one customer had way better taste. But one of them was Gregory Peck after all.
Wtf w/the haters in the comments here? Anyway…loved the video and the education lesson on Huntsman. Their house cut isn’t my cup of tea, but I’m always happy to see the old guard thriving.
Thank you for sharing. I would love to have a bespoke hacking jacket from Huntsman. I really enjoy your videos and especially love the current series. Best regards Ron
The manners in this video are top notch. I love the insight into tailoring that we get. The “rock of eye” in particular is a delightful term I have never heard before.
Fantastic! Love this insight into how gentlemens tailoring should be. My dad always had suits tailor made, I assume because at the time that's how it was always done (i'm talking 1960's and no 'off the peg') would love to get back to that.
Great little vignette. I almost stopped watching when I saw the Coldm Gds mess kit during the intro (I'm Gren Gds) but I recovered after seeing that glorious smoked orange smoker. Always cast an eye when I passed Huntsman, but through regimental contacts, Dege and Skinner and Meyer and Mortimer were invariably my go-to tailors.
Brilliant introduction to Huntsman. Do Huntsman help the client to "design" their suit or are they,the client,expected to know what will suit them ? This has been a problem for us elsewhere.
Once you book a consult, the cutter will meet with you and determine your needs. lifestyle, and other factors. They take your measurements for a coat and then trousers. They have thousands of types of cloth to order from various British mills. Once your measurements are taken they will cut a pattern which is used to cut the cloth. If you are a first time customer it may require three fittings. The suit will require less once a pattern is cut. The cutter worries about a "design". Each tailor house on the row has their own style of cut. Huntsman will be different from Anderson and Sheppard and Dege and Skinner will be different from Gieves and Hawkes. Most customers if new to bespoke tailoring will get a solid navy blue and solid charcoal grey suit to start. Of course, it gets addictive. Once you have one suit, you need another. And then of course you'll need a tuxedo. And then a top coat. You can always try different tailors. There are many in London, including those on the row.
In that case maybe pop to Kent & Haste and see how you feel there. Very down to earth people who understand that not all of us have a long history of bespoke suits.
I think it just now references standard No.1 dress “ the blue patrol jacket” or as they are referred to by some regiments as “Postman’s blues”, all have French rear seams
I’m afraid the length does not also mean it’s interesting but I was born left handed but my nursery teacher forced me to write with my right hand so I’m all higgledy-piggledy
@@tfchamberlin Thanks to you I have just learnt a new English expression (higgledy-piggledy) I am correct in assuming you are ambidextrous? Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
When you introduce someone (Dario), let them actually speak instead of giving an extended monologue while they just stand there. Ask the man something!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series...BUT...who the heck is editing these videos???? The jump cuts are distracting. This video has an edit before it went to still a photograph. Use the photo to cover the edit. It is editing 101. Shoot video of what Tom is talking about to use if an edit is needed. Change camera angles. Anything would be better And what a ballsy suit!!!
Opens with the worst-looking suit I’ve ever seen. Can only improve from there. Must be hunting soon - Old-fashioned orange (don’t shoot me) clothes. Must be a golfer with the lower right shoulder.
@@RichardEnglander I feel ya. Me too, for the most part, more so when accounting for dropped shoulder, prominent chest, and all the other peculiarities one doesn’t know he has until he shops for a bespoke suit.
I would like to point out a small interesting fact that caught my eye straight away as a donkey jacket specialist myself this offended my intelligence level drastically NOWTO THE OFFENSE it’s the buttons on the jacket not level did any one notice 😂
5:56 Whilst I do enjoy the Huntsman, sorry, Kingsman films for their fun and frolics, too many repeat the obvious advertorial nonsense of the film director that it was in that anteroom that he conceived of the film franchise. Utter rot! Any fule know that the Kingsman films rest on the shoulders of Mr. Ben and Mr. Bond. That is all.
I wonder was there a reason for this? Surely has to be an explanation or a logic, given everything else on the coat is immaculate. Perhaps it was a "necessary evil"
There is. More often than not, with bigger checks such as this, once the darts are sewn in throws off the pattern matching to such a degree that you couldn’t match the check with the pocket flap both above and below. In which case, the vast majority of tailors match the checks with the lower portion of the front body. I believe this is just because your sleeves will often obscure the upper portion where the lower will always be on show. Hope that helps!
It was Terry Haste, from Kent and Haste, that made the suits for the Kingsman film franchise! Fun fact.
The two also have great stories to tell about tailoring and the Row. Real gentlemen.
He has retired now that lovely man
@@RichardEnglander Terry hasn’t retired lol. I was in the shop last week. Did you mean John Kent?
@@mikewinston8709 sorry I meant John, I wasn't paying attention! I stand corrected
@@RichardEnglander I hate social media…..it always makes me sound so terse in the stead of sounding jolly.
Marvelous. That suit is smashing.

@@larshohmuth4035 Agreed. Not having the dual brown strips on the middle of the lapels on the original is preferable.
But still looks great of course.
My tailor and my favorite house cut from Savile Row tailors. Superb!
Now that’s the ultimate luxury. I feel richer watching this great video
Tom another brilliant video and Dario is certainly the very best and an extremely humble man! Great job 👌🏾
Wtf w/the haters in the comments here? Anyway…loved the video and the education lesson on Huntsman. Their house cut isn’t my cup of tea, but I’m always happy to see the old guard thriving.
I like the traditional but comfortable style of Anderson and Sheppard. My father first took me there when I was a teenager 50 years ago.
Haters = jealousy
at 2:17, that's my back in the right hand mirror lol Great video as always.
I am thoroughly enjoying the series. Please keep them coming.

You match the wall covering!
I noticed that and presumed it wasn't a coincidence. A Huntsman tartan was my thought.
Its the house tweed from what I can deduce from the video
Really love you're outfit my man 👌👍👍
I don't personally vibe with the classic English suit..
..but I cannot deny, you sir rock it slicker than any other gent I've seen wear one, congrats
Fascinating, especially the section with cutter!!
Absolutely fantastic Tom. So much information packed into the video. As always, the out takes gave us a chuckle.
coolest youtube series at the moment!

Very enjoyed watching. It would be great to have a bit more about the cut and how it differs from the others on the Row…

Your suit, perfect for your complexion, reminds me of a Laurence Fellows illo.
A wonderful compliment
Fantastic db suit. I love it!
Great series
You look very chic indeed. Great episode.
You match the wallpaper! Great video too.
Well done Tom & Co, great video. That barber chap was wrong by the way! Your hair grew a good inch on the walk between Truffit's and Huntsman! ;)
Love that suit! Such a classic English look.
Someday....
Take a drink every time the word august is used!
If you had to buy _one_ pin striped suit, which color would be more practical, navy blue or charcoal grey?
Nice suit , even matches the wall 🙂
Huntsman are Kingsman😮
Woulld you also be doing an episode with Maurice Sedwell (Andrew Ramroop)?
Love the tailor
Have many suits from there

Great vid! But I'm very sorry but the pattern of your suit just doesn't work for me.
Womp womp
The checks are too big and prominent, that's the problem.
That's OK, it wasn't made for you. You do you. That's what is great about Bespoke.
At 1:00 in, you're almost blending into the wall 😂
He mentioned a walk in ......feature ....... the whole room would be gold
Why doesn't pocket line up with the pattern?
All Blacks mentioned 🔥
Patrol back…..we used to call it a cavalry cut.
I think it just now references standard No.1 dress “ the blue patrol jacket” or as they are referred to by some regiments as “Postman’s blues”, all have French rear seams
What a tradition…
The late Charlie Watts was Huntsman regular.
What was the long story about being right handed?
I’m afraid the length does not also mean it’s interesting but I was born left handed but my nursery teacher forced me to write with my right hand so I’m all higgledy-piggledy
@@tfchamberlin Thanks to you I have just learnt a new English expression (higgledy-piggledy) I am correct in assuming you are ambidextrous? Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Which company is the manufacturer of your suit fabric--Scabal, Holland & Sherry, Huddlestone?
But is it august?
Peck 62 was the tweed Kirby Allison was having Ralph Fitzgerald make for him…but it was never finished I don’t believe (COVID)
Great vid! Well done
I’ll be in London in a fortnight. Will have to stop in to peruse the tweeds!
What’s a link to the Huntsman ‘house cut’?
That story about a white tie being delivered to an officer in a POW camp is brilliant.
Not "a white tie", but white tie apparel. A suit with cutaway tails that is required with white tie dress, and the required white tie.
I’m going across the street to Kingsman. I hear they have much cooler gadgets in their suits.
The jacket you wore at Kent and Haste was fabulous. This one, not so much !
When you introduce someone (Dario), let them actually speak instead of giving an extended monologue while they just stand there. Ask the man something!
You own any suits from Singapore
Seems you wore the wallpaper
😂
You need a wide tie for that db lapel.
Your streets are so clean! Here in Los Angeles it’s a landfill in the streets 🤢🤮
Jacket makes you look like a used car salesman from the 70s trying to pitch me on a Pinto or Gremlin.
If that suit pattern was somewhat muted, The Rake would be addressing us with much more authority.
It's just a touch too prominent for ones liking !!
All Black's mention! I'll take that as a New Zealand home country mention!!
Can you comment on safari suits ? The history, present if any

I stand corrected
His jacket looks like an inflexible suit of armor … yuk
could have stood another 20 minutes or so of that conversation

U luv it dbs!!! Me 2!!!! Have on light gray db ..headed 2 church...peace
Interesting video but....What on earth are you wearing?
5:27 ... love this channel ... but ... the "carbon footprint?" don't buy into the nonsense.
Please send a card to our PM!!! The money he has and dresses like he does, shocking!
I especially appreciate the seams on the back.

I’m a 49.5 drop 8, but I think you’re even bigger than me.
I'm 40 drop 9. It is almost impossible to find off-the-peg suits which fit me.
@@RichardEnglander I feel ya. Me too, for the most part, more so when accounting for dropped shoulder, prominent chest, and all the other peculiarities one doesn’t know he has until he shops for a bespoke suit.
unfortunately they offer a cheaper version of their suits made in china…
Not Huntsman though is it.
I would like to point out a small interesting fact that caught my eye straight away as a donkey jacket specialist myself this offended my intelligence level drastically NOWTO THE OFFENSE it’s the buttons on the jacket not level did any one notice 😂
Augustly
The suits seems somewhat badly fitted and the checks look terrible.

That jacket is hideous... 😢
The button stance of your jacket is too high and the cloth is too garish.
Womp womp
It's fine...i have seen u before..u luv 2 complain....😂😮😅😅😅😊!!!
That was a bit harsh. I do not like the fabric at all, but "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
It is perfect and not for everybody.
definitely not a Third party Agency
Thats a crap tartan.
tristan tate gets his suits from huntsman as well
Then he mentioned a joke about carrots

Nothing like having a chip or two. Which shoulder do you prefer to wear them on?
Pocket flaps out of line with the coat body stripes my OCD would not accept that sorry 😞
I wonder was there a reason for this? Surely has to be an explanation or a logic, given everything else on the coat is immaculate. Perhaps it was a "necessary evil"

That must be one of the worst pattern placement on a sport coat. Jesus christ looks so bad
You're rambling
You need a haircut
That jacket is ugly 🤮🤢😵💫🤧
I wonder if Tom ever wears a single breasted suit.
He stated his preference was he only wears double-breasted. (Time-stamp 7:30). I hope this helped.
