Huntsman was founded in 1849 and is still famous today as one of the finest—and most innovative—bespoke tailors in London. Huntsman’s clients range from royalty to film stars, and include Queen Victoria, Clark Gable, Grace Kelly, Coco Chanel, Hubert de Givenchy, Bill Blass, Lucien Freud, Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Taylor, and Edward Enninful, to name just a few. The brand also served as style and location inspiration for the Kingsman films, starring Colin Firth and Taron Egerton.

As well as its history, the book reveals each stage of ordering and making the perfect bespoke suit, which involves 80 hours of hand work, and includes a practical style guide for anyone who wants to know what to wear for the right occasion. Sumptuous photography by Simon Upton illustrates the quintessential town, country, and holiday settings in which one might wear Huntsman.

With a foreword by Dame Glenda Bailey, former Editor-in-Chief of Harper’s Bazaar, an introduction by veteran style writer Nick Foulkes, and a sparkling text by author Tom Chamberlin, editor of The Rake magazine, this is an essential and inspiring guide on how to dress to perfection.

Tom Chamberlin is the Editor-in-Chief of men’s style bible, The Rake, having previously worked as Managing Editor for Finch’s Quarterly Review. A connoisseur of classic and contemporary clothing, Chamberlin also contributes to The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator and Air Mail, redefining gentlemanly fashion for a modern audience, with a large and dedicated following on Instagram and TikTok. This is his first book. Glenda Bailey DBE is the former editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar magazine. In 2008 she was awarded an MBE in recognition of her services to journalism and fashion, followed by a DBE in 2019. Bailey was also presented with "Women’s Magazine Editor of the Year" and "Editor’s Editor of the Year," along with recognition from Amnesty International for her dedicated coverage of human rights affairs. Nick Foulkes is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair, FT How to Spend It, and The Rake. He is also a columnist on Country Life and is international arts correspondent on Newsweek. He is an internationally recognized authority on luxury travel, material culture, timepieces, and the arts and has written over 20 books, the latest being Patek Philippe:The Authorised Biography.
