Harry Stedman Debut Lookbook

Posted on April 3rd by Johnny • 0 Comments

We recently enlisted the talents of photographer Damien van der Vlist, stylist Atip W and model-of-the-moment Jed Texas to realise our debut lookbook. We opted to produce a pro-narrative book that endeavours to introduce a young Harry Stedman, sharing an insight into the delightfully roguish character that helps to shape our brand today.

Rather than introduce a book aligned with a particular season, this effort arrives as a complete view of our wares to date, blended with a tight selection of vintage garments and footwear. The current collection features shirting, tees, trousers and outerwear, nicely complimented by Made-in-Britain leather accessories and knitwear.

As with all our garments, we want to offer something that teams durability with comfort, supported by a timeless look….

Posted on December 22nd by Johnny • 0 Comments

At the heart of any man’s wardrobe you’ll find his favourite shirt, one he turns to religiously, wearing until its threadbare final days. The answer to many a sartorial problem, he finds solace in its versatility and quality – an integral part of his personal style.

Mindful of this tender relationship, we wanted to take considered steps to be a part of it; we therefore began to develop our very own ‘favourite shirt.’ Read More…

Windmill Street Diary

There’s been excitement in the studio this week with the arrival of our first production run of tees. These US-made garments arrived direct from their birthplace in Portland, Oregon – produced by the talented folks at Columbia Knit. The round-neck tees are made from a relatively heavy, robust cotton and feature a slimmer, fitted body versus a perhaps more boxy fit typical of yesteryear.

The Windmill Street Diary: Vol Nº1 “The Jacket”

Posted on July 2nd by Colin • 1 Comment

Over the last six months we have been beavering away in our studio on Windmill Street, Central London, crafting the first Harry Stedman collection. It’s been a truly fascinating process; researching & designing garments, drawing patterns, gathering cloth samples, developing relationships with a myriad of suppliers and manufacturers, all the while notching ever closer to defining the signature Stedman aesthetic.

We have grappled with tweeds, wrestled with cottons, argued over buttons, pulled our hair out over linings and gone up and down with zippers. In fact, the process is so involved (and endless) that we thought we should share it with you. We therefore present the first installment of our “Windmill Street Diary”….
