David Ward, an old new SR tailor
The best of luck to him in his new venture; he certainly has an impressive curriculum vitae.
I also think (hope!) it's a sign of a more confident future on The Row.
I detect a growing enthusiasm here in the UK for MTM and bespoke : chaps I'd never thought of as being clothes-conscious nowadays seem fascinated by A Suit That Fits or online far eastern tailors. A good thing in my mind - also a strong possibility it will develop into more ambitious sartorial projects perhaps?
Having a work address in the West End of London, Im being cold called by 'visiting' tailors now a couple of times a year - even 5 years ago if you wanted that sort of thing it was you doing the chasing. Times are changing.

Congratulations to David, he is charming and well skilled in his craft. I fear that the remaining cutters, Mr Murphy and Mr Carnera will follow shortly, with Huntsman offering nothing more than Italian RTW......
News on the wire this week in W1, Patrick Murphy is leaving Huntsman. Can anyone confirm this? I was on the Row last week having a fitting and a rather large bumbling cloth sales man came in and eagerly announced this information to several individuals present.
David made me a suit at the end of 2014 and it's an outstanding piece of work.
He is currently finishing a coat and a pair trousers for me, and they too look spectacular.
Highly recommended.

Now we'll have to run a Huntsman ex-pat thread to complement the one for A&S.

Stephen, I too have just picked up a couple of suits from David, both are exceptional. Great to see a younger classically trained cutter, who can back up his pedigree becoming successful in his own right.
