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.
It was Terry Haste, from Kent and Haste, that made the suits for the Kingsman film franchise! Fun fact.

Now that’s the ultimate luxury. I feel richer watching this great video
Marvelous. That suit is smashing.
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 noticed that and presumed it wasn't a coincidence. A Huntsman tartan was my thought.
Love that suit! Such a classic English look. Someday....
Absolutely fantastic Tom. So much information packed into the video. As always, the out takes gave us a chuckle.
I am thoroughly enjoying the series. Please keep them coming.
Fascinating, especially the section with cutter!!
Tom another brilliant video and Dario is certainly the very best and an extremely humble man! Great job 👌🏾
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
at 2:17, that's my back in the right hand mirror lol Great video as always.
Great video, a big hug from Spain
coolest youtube series at the moment!
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 series
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
Really love you're outfit my man 👌👍👍
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.
Great vid! Well done
I just watched a few videos about Biba. It seems they annoyed quite a few Gents. Good for Colin, genius. I do like the single button riding style Jacket, so elegant. The peck 62 is wonderful, looks fab on Tom and strangely I know it's 62 years old this year because so am I. The best Vintage, aged well.
You look very chic indeed. Great episode.
You match the wallpaper! Great video too.
When you introduce someone (Dario), let them actually speak instead of giving an extended monologue while they just stand there. Ask the man something!
Your suit, perfect for your complexion, reminds me of a Laurence Fellows illo.

A wonderful compliment
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! ;)
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.
Which company is the manufacturer of your suit fabric--Scabal, Holland & Sherry, Huddlestone?
What’s a link to the Huntsman ‘house cut’?
The jacket you wore at Kent and Haste was fabulous. This one, not so much !
But is it august?
All Blacks mentioned 🔥
Take a drink every time the word august is used!
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
At 1:00 in, you're almost blending into the wall 😂
All Black's mention! I'll take that as a New Zealand home country mention!!
The late Charlie Watts was Huntsman regular.
Great vid! But I'm very sorry but the pattern of your suit just doesn't work for me.

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!!!
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 !!
Interesting video but....What on earth are you wearing?

unfortunately they offer a cheaper version of their suits made in china…
That must be one of the worst pattern placement on a sport coat. Jesus christ looks so bad

The button stance of your jacket is too high and the cloth is too garish.

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"
Thats a crap tartan.
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.
That jacket is hideous... 😢
