That's quite the F-U suit, worn to a funeral of someone despised.

Re: Huntsman 1958
I too thought the vest gave the whole ensemble a rather clownish look.

Re: Huntsman 1958
Hate to sound so philistine, but with all the tailors on the Row in those days, I think it would have kept me away from Huntsman, not drawn me to them. Of course, I was only 16 then, so I sure wasn't thinking about Savile Row suits at the time!

Re: Huntsman 1958
I was struggling to remember what that style of waistcoat is called. I finally manage to find the reference. It is called a Tattersall waistcoat with the short separately cut skirt.

Re: Huntsman 1958
I just found another reference (The Modern Tailor Outfitter and Clothier, 1955) which calls it a "fancy waistcoat" and remarks that it was formerly called a Badsworth waistcoat. It was apparently worn when riding but was quite popular during the nineteenth century.

Re: Huntsman 1958
The photo is gone.
Was it like the bell shape line in that sketch from 1959?
