Campbell Carey, Huntsman?s creative director, has imbued the house?s AW16 ready-to-wear collection with the British handwriting that has set Huntsman?s bespoke creations apart for the past 160 years.

One of the highlights of this season?s tailoring is Huntsman?s flannel suit, which is designed in both classic, deep navy and slate grey. The latter shade celebrates the 60th anniversary of the 1956 film ?The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit,? which starred notable Huntsman customer Gregory Peck, whose grey flannel suit was in-fact, designed by the house.
Our standout design for Autumn is the Machir Jacket, a single-breasted sports coat in a windowpane check tweed. Its sporty silhouette was inspired by a Huntsman shooting coat, with pinch pleats at the back and a half belt for ease of movement, along with deep bellows pockets to hold a scarf or gloves. The jacket is named in honour of Machir Bay on Scotland?s Isle of Islay, the home of the mill where Huntsman?s tweeds are woven. This season, the windowpane check tweed is in four distinguished shades ? deep blue, moss green, whisky, and heather grey.
