Our Buying Process
You will have noticed that we use different textiles, materials and weaves in our collections. Why? Because we want our customers to have a varied and stylish wardrobe for all seasons. To create our garments, components are selected from different parts of the World and are exclusively designed in the United Kingdom with you in mind.
Have you ever wondered how your favourite retailer chooses their clothing line for the season? Harvie and Hudson are excited to invite you behind the scenes and share some of our buying secrets. We like to think ahead and are always prepared two seasons in advance with extensive advice from our loyal suppliers and trusted buying team as well as feedback from you, our customers. The buying process takes months of preparation, but the beauty of this is that our Directors like to get involved, so you are guaranteed to get an exceptional collection every season. Our Director, Mr Richard Harvie's signature design is strong prints, fun colours and interesting trims. With this in mind, you will have observed that our Summer Collection always has bold colours i.e. Bright Yellow, Avocado Green and Hot Pink etc. Mostly importantly these strong colours are interchangeable and easily mixed and matched with all the clothing we have to offer. We choose are garments based on the season too. In the summer season, it is all about Linens, and in the colder months it is about wool.
Mr Harvie makes the buying decision with his trusted colleague and Flagship manager, Matthew Beadle. They get together to create a unique and stylish range by looking at numerous swatches and trims, from a range of carefully selected supplies. Here are some images that show different coloured and pattern swatches.
Two days is spent on experimenting with materials, linings and buttons to come up with the best products. Inspiration usually comes from travelling to worldwide trade shows, therefore we have been able to improve our products and categories every season, as well as keep up with trends in the Menswear world.
Our clothing Line is always created in limited quantities, customers know this and buy it becasue they know it's exclusive. Our range is milled for Harvie and Hudson only. This makes us unique from other Menswear stores on Jermyn Street.
Our Fabrics
Our main source is Italian and English fabrics. Harvie and Hudson use the best fabric to ensure clothing is high quality for our customers. Here is some brief information about each fabric.
Egyptian Cotton
This is one of the best cottons to use for clothing. We use only the finest Egyptian cotton for our Business Shirts because it makes them more softer, finer and lasts longer than any other Cotton. Harvie and Hudson like to invest in making premium and quality shirts for the modern gentleman, just look at our reviews on trustpilot for some insight into what our other customers think of our products.

Lightweight Cotton
We provide garments for all weather seasons. Lighter weight Cotton is better for clothes worn during the warmer seasons, as it can easily absorb body moisture, keeping you cool and comfortable.
