Henry Herbert – The King of Bespoke Suits
Henry Herbert offers clients tailor-made custom suits using paper patterns for each garment they order from his shop on Savile Row; appointments at home, office, or hotel room; or trunk shows that feature his collections.

Fabric options offered by this brand include lightweight flannel and classic tropical worsted, both designed to withstand travel and weather while remaining soft and flexible enough for everyday wear.
Early Life and Education
Henry VII emerged victorious from the Wars of the Roses, an age-old conflict between rival medieval royal families that devastated England for generations. Through his skilled political and financial management he brought stability back into England’s economy.
His self-confident and ruthless leadership styles remain iconic depictions of him today, yet he was also highly educated and an avid sportsman who supported art and culture – owning numerous Renaissance works in both Hampton Court and Whitehall palaces as he did so.
This brand focuses on maintaining their tradition while simultaneously embracing innovation in men’s tailoring, using British mills such as Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry, Scabal, and Dugdales to produce its garments. Furthermore, there is an apprenticeship scheme established within their company for developing sewing and tailoring skills.
