The jacket was subsequently christened as the ‘Tuxedo’ in America, and can usually be found dressed in it’s signature ‘Midnight Blue’ fabric.

One of the most famous figures on Henry Poole’s books was the iconic ex-Prime Minister Winston Churchill. A man often associated with his suits and jackets, it was a certain chalk stripe flannel suit created for Churchill which is often remembered, a distinctive pinstripe covered garment which would often be worn with an accompanying waistcoat and bow tie.
