Daytime
For chic workwear versatility, from boardroom to business brunching and elegant accessorising whilst on the go. Heritage design has had a chic reimagining for in-town attire.
The distinctive collarless jacket serves as the foundation for the whole collection, cut in Huntsman's iconic one-button design with a cardigan collar, which is versatile enough to be dressed up, down and accessorised, and is designed in beautifully rich black barathea cloth
Add a classic notch lapel, so easy to style for smart-casual, business-casual, or business-formal engagements. The natural density of the jacket cloth means it looks as good paired with your favourite indigo denim, as it does with silk or satin skirts or trousers.
This chic pockets belt takes inspiration from Huntsman’s history as an equestrian tailor and is inspired by the bellow pockets of a classic shooting coat, the shape of which has been refined and modernised in chic black leather. Attached around the waist of the jacket, these statement pockets act to positively exaggerate the silhouette and are as practical as they are stylish. Finished in leather from Muirhead, producers of the world's lowest carbon leather.

Shawl lapels made entirely of the finest silk, hand-embroidered by artisan Livia Papiernik.

To complement the shawl lapel, add the easy-tie waist belt in satin for additional detailing.
The jewel that crowns the entire collection, this stunning full-length semi-sheer gilet-style bodice can be added over the jacket with an easy-tie belt that extends from the bottom of the jacket to form a train. You will fall in love with the way this bodice moves and falls as you walk. Made of silk and may be worn with any other collar type or without one at all.
