Anyone order from Holland and Sherry

[Honey Doll]

Has anyone placed an order for woolens with Holland and Sherry? I sent an inquiry to their American contact by email a few days ago and haven't gotten any response. Do they sell direct to the public?

Thanks!

They sell to Trade.
Individuals can purchase H&S cloths from "better" cloth stores, who stock them.

I guess.

Mackenzies of Piccadilly sell their fine cotton fabrics. Perhaps they do woollens too.

Give them a ring at 800 223 6385.

Yes, Mackenzies of Piccadilly do stock Holland and Sherry, and they will order what ever you want. I can never give Mackenzies enough praise, they are very good!

Any other recommendations?

Thank you for the assistance!

Are there any other sources for quality wool suiting that I should also consider?

May I ask what you intend to do with this cloth?

The reason I ask is that if it's for a home project a local tailor may let you peruse his books/bolts and buy through him. It's really best to see and handle cloth (by swatch or preferably on the bolt) before you buy.

I am intending to make a jacket. I didn't consider going to a local tailor as I don't have any relationship with any.

HD, I know of several instances where bespoke tailors and shirtmakers have been very generous with DIYers on matters of acquiring fabric, trim and most importantly knowledge.

Also, I just noticed that you reside in the same town as Hickey-Freeman which uses more top quality fabric than any U.S. maker (outside of Oxxford, an IAG stablemate of H&S). If you make nice with them, they might let you pick from their end bolts.

I do like there classic harder finnish wools... I have a few yards from a few years ago that i bought for a suit which I'll have made soon enough. A good grey pinstripe.

Thanks Tomasso

We do have some wonderful, top-notch tailoring shops here in Rochester. I'd feel a bit bold walking in and asking for fabric favors though. My bil had a bespoke suit done over the summer, the design taken from a photo of Sean Connery as James Bond...perhaps I can ask him to make an introduction to his tailor for me.
