Huntsman's New York atelier is the most direct way to commission Savile Row bespoke without crossing the Atlantic. Consultation, measuring, pattern cutting and fittings all take place on the ninth floor of 130 West 57th Street, a building that also houses Cad & The Dandy, Norton & Sons and Paolo Martorano. Since 2017 a Huntsman cutter has been based there full time; Thomas Pierre Carr, who came from the London cutting team, has held the post since 2024.
The cut is the reason to come. Huntsman's jacket has a strong, structured shoulder, high armholes, a suppressed waist and a single button, a line taken from the riding coat and refined by head cutter Colin Hammick in the 1960s. It is a formal, defined silhouette, and a clear alternative to the softer, drapier work of many of the city's independent tailors.
There are trade-offs. Huntsman does not publish a US-dollar price; its London price for a two-piece suit is $9,900, and Permanent Style lists it as the most expensive of the English firms in New York. Huntsman does not say where garments for New York clients are sewn, and Permanent Style reported in 2019 that the English firms in the city send tailoring work back to the UK. Every commission involves at least three fittings, and the atelier works by appointment only.
Choose Huntsman New York for a structured business suit, a dinner suit or shooting clothes with a clear English pedigree. Clients who want a soft shoulder or a suit made start to finish in Manhattan will find a better fit elsewhere on this list.
