50 Years of Bespoke Tailoring: The Untold Stories of Savile Row at Kent, Haste & Lachter

Video Description

Step inside the legendary workshop of Kent, Haste & Lachter, one of London’s most respected bespoke tailoring houses. In this exclusive sit-down interview, Kirby Allison speaks with Terry Haste, Stephen Lachter, and Suyamba Kumaresan about their journeys into bespoke tailoring, the craft they’ve dedicated their lives to, and the stories behind some of the world’s finest suits and shirts. Tailoring is an oral tradition, passed from master to apprentice, learned through years of hands-on practice rather than books. In this candid conversation, they share how they entered the trade, the challenges and joys of their work, and the clients who have shaped their careers. From dressing royalty and Hollywood legends to refining the smallest details of a perfectly cut jacket, their passion for craftsmanship is evident in every stitch. Amidst the cutting boards and cloth patterns of their bustling workshop, they discuss the evolution of Savile Row, the subtle art of figuration, and how the next generation of tailors is preserving this time-honored tradition. Whether it’s the weight of a classic flannel or the challenge of working with ultra-fine modern fabrics, they reveal the intricacies of making garments that stand the test of time. This is more than just a conversation about tailoring—it’s a glimpse into the world of bespoke craftsmanship at its highest level. 🎥 Watch all our videos with Kent, Haste, and Lachter https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNeFpbTnJYLzJPqggQFnzjkouMQmZ_60U MORE ABOUT KENT HASTE & LACHTER 🧵 https://www.kenthaste.co.uk/ 🧵 https://www.instagram.com/kenthastelachter/ 🗓 Kent & Haste also visit the New York and Palm Beach a number of times a year on trunk shows.
