Street Style: Harry

Harry

Is style hereditary? Harry here certainly adds weight to the argument with his sleek lines and attention to detail. “My father is an absolute peacock,” he says with quiet confidence. “It’s his 63 birthday this year and he’s still as sharp as he was when he was in his early 20s. His father, my grandfather, was head tailor for Burtons in Scotland in the mid 60s, a time when all men had a least one Burton’s suit in their wardrobe.”

He’s certainly learned plenty from his ancestoral line, every part of his simple shirt and jeans combo thought out to the tiniest part.
“Detail is massively important,” he adds. “Detail is what sets you apart from everybody else, and it’s not so much that they know, it’s that you know. That’s, for me, why bespoke tailoring need to be supported by the government.”

Sunglasses by B&L
“They are 1956 B&L Raybans that I found in my attic. They have the original B&L lenses in them and they don’t have the Rayban logo written down the side, which I don’t like on the new sunglasses.”

Shirt by Gieves and Hawkes
“It’s bespoke from a gentleman’s tailors, which makes it more personal to me.”

Belt from Burtons
“It was twenty quid, I bought it because I didn’t have a brown belt. It’s reversible.”

Jeans by Levis
“They’re 511s, I got them for £60 less than the list price.”

Suede boots by Loake of London
“I’ve broken the laces on both of them so I have to lace them slightly shorter.”
