What Did KINGSMAN Actually do for Menswear?

About this video

The Gazette team interviews Campbell, head cutter and creative director at Huntsman on Savile Row, discussing the tailor’s 175-year heritage, involvement in the Kingsman film series, bespoke and ready-to-wear collections, and the house’s iconic cutting style. Campbell explains Huntsman’s approach to balancing tradition with modern accessibility, their expansion to New York, and the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating bespoke garments.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team notes that Huntsman’s iconic one-button silhouette originates from riding jackets, featuring high armholes, natural shoulder lines, and slant pockets for functional elegance that flatters modern wearers
• The Gazette team highlights that Campbell recommends first-time bespoke clients start with a navy or charcoal one-button suit to understand the Huntsman cut before exploring sports jackets, blazers, and formal wear
• The Gazette team explains that Huntsman uses heavy, British-made cloths (18+ ounces) sourced from Scottish mills, which are essential for proper drape and achieving period-accurate silhouettes in tailoring
• The Gazette team observes that Campbell advises new clients to trust the bespoke process, noting that the minimum three fittings and multiple craftspeople ensure quality while managing the complex production workflow
