Men’s style and fashion expert Jake Daniels takes a look at the highly anticipated Huntsman AW15 collection.
At the heart of London’s iconic Savile Row is the quintessentially British tailor, Huntsman. Over the past 165 years, they’ve earned a prestigious reputation of excellence through meticulous craftsmanship and impeccable house style.
Huntsman have dressed royals and stars of the stage including the likes of Winston Churchill, Gregory Peck, Alexander McQueen, King Edward Vlll and Ralph Lauren. This has made them the trusted destination of choice for discerning gentleman who seek the finest bespoke tailoring.
Alongside famous custom tailoring services, Huntsman have now launched their ready to wear AW15 collection, available to order worldwide. This offers clients flexibility for personal expression as well as the opportunity to order classic and seasonal pieces that epitomise the ethos, values and lifestyle of the brand.
The collection was inspired by the British Intelligence Services, alumni within Huntsman’s ranks of customers and stylish fictional film characters. For instance, Huntsman dressed Colin Firth for the Kingsman and his sharp look resonates throughout the tailoring. The assortment of knitwear, cashmere scarves, fitted shirts and suits reflect an autumnal palette of navys, greys, browns and claret, thus inviting us to embrace the thoughts of chillier months ahead.
In accompaniment, there is an abundant collection of gift-worthy accessories, perfect for completing the stylish look through mixing and matching. Interestingly, two of the ties have been constructed upon Gregory Peck’s definitive style. The designs were brought to Huntsman’s attention by Gregory’s son. He was keen to resurrect some of his dad’s old fashion favourites and so were Huntsman having seen them. Other customers have, in the past, asked for replications of sentimental ties, something Huntsman are able to do well thanks to the nature of their bespoke service.
