Huntsman’s Autumn Winter 2017 Ready to Wear Collection celebrates a heritage that spans three centuries, drawing inspiration from the house’s extensive archives and from Creative Director Campbell Carey’s experience in bespoke tailoring. At the heart of the collection is the house’s iconic single-button jacket, with its slim silhouette and tapered waist, while the standout design is the Cashmere Sports Jacket, available in two colours, Green Dorset and Blue Sussex. Sourced from inner and outer Mongolia, the cloth is made up of eight yarns, twisted together to create a luxurious finish and remarkable depth of colour. Another fine fabric making its first appearance in ready-to- wear is cashmere doeskin, which is used to create a luxury version of the classic Navy Blazer. Doeskin has a soft, lustrous finish achieved through a tight weave, giving it a luxuriant sheen when light falls on its surface. The blazer pairs beautifully with another classic: dark grey flannel trousers, a flat-fronted style this season. One of the collection’s highlights is the Midnight Blue Evening Suit, inspired in part by Daniel Craig’s rule-breaking midnight blue tuxedo in Skyfall. A further highlight is the one-button Fresco Suit in a dark grey hopsack, with an open weave that makes it ideal for travel.
