stanfield’s takes pride in all its products and will always stand by our basic policy of “the best product at reasonable prices . ” fashion forward and technologically advanced , stanfield’s is a specialist in underwear products and has rightfully earned its reputation as ‘the underwear company’ .
one spot , “canadian pride , ” addresses a customer question about whether much of stanfield’s manufacturing is still done in nova scotia .

jon stanfield , president of stanfield’s north america , said in a press release that it was a priority to work with an agency close to home that could bring new ideas to the table to complement ideas currently being developed internally .
stanfield’s , the nearly 160 - year - old underwear brand based in nova scotia , is moving its advertising close to home after selecting halifax’s extreme group as its new agency of record .
he said the marketing , which makes extensive use of social media platforms including facebook and twitter , also reflected stanfield’s desire to attract younger customers .
the “legendary comfort” creative approach addresses stanfield’s longevity ( 160 years in business ) , its canadian heritage , and the connection that stanfield’s customers have with the brand . porteous said the company continued to receive regular letters from customers who share their history with the product , sometimes dating back decades .
stanfield , who also leads the brand’s marketing , said he’s met with extreme group consistently over the years and watched closely as it opened a toronto office and gained experience working with national brands .
it was through a meeting with charles stanfield in philadelphia pennsylvania , that mr . lord was able to convince standfield to come to prince edward island and start what is today a textile dynasty entitled stanfield ' s ltd . based in truro nova scotia
stanfield’s limited went on to incorporate in 1906 . during world war 1 , they manufactured wool blankets , knitting yarn and cloth that provided a major impetus for the expansion of the firm . after the war , john stanfield was appointed to the senate .
fleischmann said he respects stanfield’s decision to bring the account closer to home and stands behind the work john st . did on behalf of the brand .
stanfield’s entered the undershirt and brief field in the late thirties , two - piece winter underwear in the forties , and thermal underwear in the fifties . the latter two gradually took over the winter underwear market , providing the building blocks for the company’s product growth over the many years to follow . stanfield’s is also responsible for popularizing the t - shirt in canada as well as men’s polo pyjamas .
while working with john st . , stanfield’s became known for its annual stunts , which included sending a hitchhiker ( “gitchhiker” ) across the country in his underwear and challenging consumers to streak for men’s health .
today , stanfield’s is a leader in its field , taking pride in its products and ability to adapt and stay ahead of consumer market needs and wants .
peter porteous , senior vice - president of sales and marketing for stanfield’s in truro , ns , said the company’s first objective was to rebuild brand awareness after being out of market for “quite some time . ”

mcmillan’s reconstruction of robert stanfield’s tenure as progressive conservative opposition leader from 1967 to 1976 will only enhance the nova scotian’s public image as “the best prime minister canada never had . ” unlike many of his contemporaries , young tom was apparently immune to the magnetic appeal of trudeaumania and pierre elliott trudeau’s progressive vision of a “just society . ”
and sports buffs will appreciate photos of whitey ford , mickey mantle , brooks robinson , don drysdale and other baseball greats wearing long sleeve undershirts made by stanfield ' s .
“we challenged one man to hitchhike across canada in 21 days . if he made it , stanfield’s would donate $ 20 , 000 to below - the - waist cancer research . but he had to do the entire trek wearing nothing but stanfield’s underwear . and since ‘gitch’ is slang for underwear , he became the ' gitchhiker . ’ in 21 days , stanfield’s earned more than 47 million media impressions , the gitchhiker was interviewed on every major news network across the country and online underwear sales increased by 50 percent . ”

mcintyre will be showing up at various events from coast to coast october 18th to the 26 th in nothing but his stanfield’s underwear , as part of the awareness and fundraising campaign .
extreme group president shawn king said the agency will help stanfield’s evaluate how often and when the brand goes to market with new work . he said he’d like to see future marketing focus more on the quality of the product and find a way to blend the brand’s legacy with creative that’s relevant today .
developed in partnership with its creative agency of record j ohn st . , stanfield’s is holding fast to its “we support men” branding and positioning with # streakweek , by continuing to generate awareness about below - the - belt cancers , and raising money for the canadian cancer society ( ccs . ) “the gitchhiker” campaign alone saw stanfield’s raise $ 29 , 000 for ccs .

it was during april of 1966 that i set up a sewing operation for stanfield ' s in oxford ,
isenor told me .
i remember going to a company in chicago called ' union special sewing . ' we purchased a million dollars worth of sewing equipment for the oxford stanfield ' s plant . at our peak period i remember we had 168 employees of which 164 were women .
stanfield’s also began carbonizing wool , a process that produced a much softer fabric . the late twenties saw the first line of cotton combinations and the use of synthetic rayon was used to produce ladies’ undergarments .

stanfield’s is the market leader in the base layer ( ie : long johns ) category , while porteous said it is a “growing brand” in the crowded all - season category , which includes everyday boxers and briefs .
the new digital and out - of - home campaign is promoting the company’s henley , base layers and cotton boxer briefs products , as well as its new dryfx line of products . stanfield’s product portfolio is comprised of approximately 100 core styles and about 17 , 000 skus , said porteous .

the video spots ( two 30s , one of which is a cut - down version of a 60 - second spot ) were shot inside the stanfield’s factory , with the creative concept featuring a spokesman addressing common customer questions about the brand .
the payoff comes as the spokesman says stanfield’s is even more canadian than a goalie eating poutine and saying sorry , just as the equivalent visual representation rolls past . the spokesman then urges the goalie to “close that five - hole jacques . ”
“it’s a 160 - year - old brand , that’s a pretty interesting challenge , ” king said . “it’s the underwear all the hockey players wore . the military wore this stuff to war . it’s got these incredible stories and qualities of the product that have to [ become ] relevant to some degree . ”
in a written statement , he added , “i really respect jon stanfield’s decision to bring his marketing and advertising back to atlantic canada . it’s a great step and a great vote of confidence for the great work we can do . personally , i’m excited as hell to be working with him and this legendary brand . ”
the stanfield’s and comedy network campaign , developed by john st . , was also well - received , having snagged two golds , a silver and a bronze . called “stanfield’s + comedy exposed ! , ” the program asked amateur comedians to upload a clip of themselves performing a stand - up routine in nothing but stanfield’s briefs , for the chance to compete against others in front of a crowd and judges in toronto . john st . also won two bronze for the fictional “the inevitable news” digital network for the world wildlife fund , and another two bronze for “the trial of suzuki” created for the cape farewell foundation , which put dr . david suzuki on mock trial for making statements against the government and its inaction to curb climate change .

when tory prime minister john diefenbaker’s regime began to crumble from “termites” in 1965 , mcmillan fell under the potent political influence of two quintessential “progressive conservatives , ” robert stanfield of nova scotia and his chief advisor and confidant , dr . thomas h . b . symons , the founding president of trent university .
in 1896 , charles sold his business to his two sons , john and frank stanfield who had their own vision for the company’s future . they believed the way to build a reputation was to build a stable product line in one specific field , despite their father’s advisement otherwise . they chose to specialize in knitted merchandise and renamed the company the truro knitting mills limited , accordingly . it was a good decision .

tom macmillan was born in 1945 in charlottetown , pei . he was educated at the universities of prince edward island , queen ' s , new brunswick and trent in political science . before he was elected to the house of commons in 1979 , he was a guest lecturer in political science at laurentian university , instructor at sir sandford fleming college , special assistant to the progressive conservative ( pc ) house leader , the honourable robert stanfield , executive director of mr . stanfield ' s policy advisory committee , executive officer of the ontario human rights committee and chairman of the book and periodical development council of canada . in 1984 , he was named canada ' s first full - time minister of state for tourism . he held this portfolio until mid - 1985 , when he was named minister of the environment until 1988 .
former mulroney cabinet minister tom mcmillan , hailing from charlottetown , pei , attempts to do just that in his rambling personal memoir , not my party : the rise and fall of canadian tories , from robert stanfield to stephen harper , which is bound to disrupt the relative peace now prevailing in today’s conservative party of canada . it’s likely to not only re - open old political wounds , but to incite a renewed struggle to restore the heart and soul of progressive conservatism .
the klondike gold rush of 1897 provided them with their first big break where some 100 , 000 people , spurred by rumors of gold , made their way north to the harsh terrain of the yukon . the stanfield’s “unshrinkable” underwear was pivotal to the would - be - prospectors and miners who could find no substitute for the warm , heavy , woolly underwear .

canadian political memoirs rarely pack much of a punch and all too many are essentially the final act of self - aggrandizement in a politician’s career . the odd political autobiography – like erik neilsen’s the house is not a home ( 1989 ) and brian mulroney’s memoirs ( 2007 ) – tries to settle old scores . rarely do such projects produce calls for the resurrection of a dead or dying political tradition .
reading this memoir is a virtual feast for political junkies and particularly for those of a tory stripe . his political masters from robert stanfield to joe clark to brian mulroney are all treated favourably as respected , if misunderstood , spear carriers in the canadian tory pantheon . short - lived pc leader peter mackay of central nova is barely mentioned , even though he signed a may 2003 deal with saskatchewan farmer david orchard to defend the “progressive” faction , and then delivered the pc’s into the arms of harper’s rebranded conservative party . reducing mackay’s critical role in the demise of the pc tradition to little more than a few sentences in a 600 - page book stands out as a glaring and peculiar omission .

mcmillan’s memoir appears at a critical juncture for the conservative party of canada and its provincial cousins . with stephen harper’s influence on the wane , this well - timed book may well find a ready audience among “progressives” who fled the conservative party during the harper years . many progressive conservatives harbour the view that the cpc is not their party anymore , including former pc leader joe clark and ontario tory stalwart justice roy mcmurtry . where nova scotia’s peter mackay fits into the evolving narrative is left unclear in this weighty opus .

and so henry herbert tailors and our savile row by scooter service was born - using a custom built fleet of vespa scooters , using full trained tailors , to meet customers around the clock . and the result ? savile row and every other tailoring firm that could jump on the band wagon tried their hardest to squeeze out every bad word from the oxford dictionary to wish us a doom ! but ten years later , we are still here and still working hard for our customers .
i created henry herbert tailors to change the way bespoke tailoring is delivered . why , i thought , should the customer have to go to the tailor during unhelpful hours ( normally monday - friday , 9am - 5pm ) , when the tailor could and should be prepared to go to the customer - any day , any time and any place .

bespoke morning suits and wedding morning suits are still a popular wedding suit choice . two piece or three piece , our bespoke morning suits are made from the finest british fabrics . henry herbert ' s morning suits are handmade in england and are perfectly fitting , for the perfect wedding day .
was fortunate enough to buy a henry herbert morning suit for a very good friend ' s wedding recently . it was a great experience from the initial measuring , cloth choice , fitting and then final delivery . the only disappointment is not having more frequent occasions on which to wear it !

big name
tailors at a fraction of the price .
i have never left a review before , but i am leaving this because without doubt they went beyond what all other tailors were prepared to do and the end result is my wedding suit : something i will cherish forever . superb cloth - it feels like silk with a service and suit that many other should aspire to .
i had a wedding suit made a few years ago with henry herbert and am still delighted with it . my wife then recently treated me to 4 shirts as a birthday present , and i was just as impressed this time around . charlie came to me to measure me up , and run through the options for material , collar type etc . and four weeks later they arrived via courier . the quality and fit are both exceptional - i will definitely be back next time i feel like treating myself .

a common question i am often asked is “ where were you trained ? ” our tailors have a rich history of tailoring . i myself , apart from being a fully qualified motorcyclist , am also a tailor too . at first i learnt from others – watching them at work and involving myself . i have since cemented this , learning jacket making at morley college ( london ) , trouser & waistcoat making at central st martin’s and sewing skills at city of westminster college , where i obtained my city & guilds qualifications .
a common question i am often asked is
where were you trained ?
our tailors have a rich history of tailoring . i myself , apart from being a fully qualified motorcyclist , am also a tailor too . at first i learnt from others - watching them at work and involving myself . i have since cemented this , learning jacket making at morley college ( london ) , trouser & waistcoat making at central st martin ' s and sewing skills at city of westminster college , where i obtained my city & guilds qualifications .
for every single customer that comes to see us , we always encourage them to speak to as many tailors as possible – to get a feel of their workmanship and their service . the two are just as important as each other . it is an extremely opinionated business , with a competitor always the first to offer his thoughts on what might not be wright with another firm’s workmanship . but at the end of the day , the biggest test should be for the customer to ask himself , “does this suit make me feel good ? ” . if so , then the tailor has done his job .
and twice this week , i heard on the radio and on a blog , two savile row tailors still rubbishing our idea – how on earth could customers enjoy the same experience away from the workshops and expensive shops . remarkably , both of them , in the same breath , were advertising their services for customers they will be seeing abroad – away form their shops . it is the service and the product that matters , not the extortionate rents that have to be paid and which therefore find their way in to expensive suits . do you participate in initiatives for making the men ' s suit more attractive to men ? how do you think the men ' s suit industry can unite in order to increase the demand for men ' s suits as a whole ?
a couple of weeks back i bagged an invite to the orange british academy film awards â a black tie event . iâd never worn a tuxedo before but managed to borrow one from a mate at the last minute .
the jacket sleeves were too long , i had clown trousers and my shirt clearly wasnât designed for a bow tie .
this might have gone unnoticed at most events but not when you find yourself flanking hollywood star claire danes on a red carpet in front of thousands . time to invest in a proper suit .
being a mod revivalist at heart iâve always been fascinated by the fashion and in particular a bespoke three - piece , but never ventured further than a fishtail parka , fred perry polo shirt and trusty pair of clarks originals .
if you want something to add value and stature to who you are , a bespoke suit is a great investment because itâs going to last you a long time . it doesnât have to be loud , just something subtle that fits , â she explains .
âwe can add whatever little touches you want too . for example , we have one client who requests a special pocket to fit his cigar , â she says . âthe attention you get on savile row guarantees you will notice the difference and so will other people . iâve always believed you can achieve a lot in a well - cut suit . â
like any other fashion , suits have seasons and itâs more than just âlight or darkâ . âthere are all - year - round cloths and there are seasonal cloths . clients are currently looking at winter for spring , and our ready - to - wear range is a great indicator of influences for the season , â says sargent . âdouble - breasted is very fashionable again in suits and slightly longer overcoats . you should be looking for something classical but with a bit of a twist , which is achievable with accessories and shirts . âgreys seem hugely popular right now . weâve had a lot of clients come in requesting that colour . theyâve been influenced by the show mad men ( pictured right ) â muted suits with loud ties and shirts . â
this all sounds lovely but incredibly expensive and , unfortunately , we canât all shop in mayfair and be able to pick up the bill . now iâm not saying venture down the old kent road for your âwhistle and fluteâ but surely thereâs a compromise ?
âmade - to - measure is great if youâre on a budget ; youâll get cloth of brilliant quality , weâll make you a suit unique to your measurements , even if the process isnât as thorough as bespoke . a lot of clients want suits they can travel in so will go with made - to - measure or ready - to - wear and leave bespoke for special occasions .
âif youâve got the great figure and your budget isnât in this realm , buying off the peg is absolutely fine , â says sargent . âbut if youâre looking for a long - term investment , bespoke is a great step . â
you could always cheat : the savile row company has a naughty little outlet store on ebay with suits , shirts and ties all at 70 per cent off urltoken just donât tell kathryn .
ready - to - wear suits from £495 ; made - to - measure from £795 ; hand - made bespoke from £3 , 500 . urltoken
all suits and shirts are cut in london then stitched in yorkshire . the standard service takes five to six weeks and the express service two to three weeks .
* the trench coat . smart , simple and a staple garment for most menâs wardrobes . a little boring in design maybe ? not any more . topmanâs trench coat project sees celebrated designers mihara yasuhiro , tim soar , bblessing and alister mackie reinterpret the classic piece , each bringing their own personality to it . yasuhiro has produced an olive green pakamac with a zip on the back to increase the volume of the coat , while new york - based bblessing has added a poem running throughout the lining of its coat . topmanâs own contribution to the project is this geometric pattern with buttoned funnel neck ( pictured right ) .
charlie collingwood has the impeccable manners , deft hands and immaculate dress sense you expect from a top london tailor .
charlie will measure , fit and deliver the suit at your convenience and at your home and office , and he can do this because he runs his business from the back of a scooter .
it ' s a novel , first - of - its kind service ,
explains collingwood , 30 .
it ' s flexible and convenient for my customers , and because i don ' t have the expense of central london retail premises , i can keep costs down .
his handmade suits -
made in england with british materials
- start from a competitive £495 , overcoats from £895 .
what ' s more , his fleet of four branded scooters - not to mention the fact that he always wears one of his own , dapper suits in the saddle - is an excellent advert for the business .
collingwood , along with a host of london businesses including handymen , estate agents and the berkeley hotel ' s patisserie service , has realised that the scooter offers the ultimate in speed , economy and efficiency . two wheels good , four wheels bad .
the trailblazer for this trend was
patrician electrician
lord ( james ) irwin , the son of the earl of halifax . irwin set up the handy squad with two odd - job men and two 125cc honda bikes and now has a fleet of 20 .
i wanted to run my own business ,
says the 32 - year - old former investment banker ,
and i thought there was a niche market for odd jobs that could be done by a single handyman on a bike carrying a small tool kit and [ decorating ] materials .
the bikes have now been modified to carry a small stepladder , too .
it ' s all about
maximising utilisation
. as irwin points out , scooters are exempt from the congestion charge and most parking fees , while their speed and mobility means the handy squad can be quicker to arrive than most emergency - response plumbers and electricians .
he claims that
the aa followed our lead
, introducing scooters for mechanics a couple of years later .
indeed , the model is so successful that one of irwin ' s former employees , dennis baltha , has set up on his own as west london ' s
scooter handyman
.
over in camden , estate agent london residential has invested in three electrip electric scooters .
when we opened the camden office last year we rebranded as a green company , the first carbon - neutral estate agent ,
says lettings manager chris welch .
the bikes are ideal for meeting landlords or clients at flats , although welsh concedes they
are better in the summer months
and aren ' t powerful enough to carry more than one person .
these are not problems faced by the berkeley hotel , which delivers its signature , fashion - inspired prêt - à - portea ( sic ) cakes to its discerning sw1 neighbours on a branded pink - and - pistachio vespa : demand goes up in the festive season .
the only way to deliver christian louboutin high - heeled biscuits and the latest burberry trenchcoat cakes is aboard a style icon ,
says general manager klaus kabelitz .
and where london leads , the rest of the world follows . if charlie collingwood ' s plans come off , at least .

menswear has always been at the forefront of evolving trends and changes in fashion . from the wide lapels on suits in the 1970’s , to the very slim cut one button jackets of the 1990’s , men have always been ready to adapt to new changes in styles . and i would say the modern gentleman has carried on this tradition – today we see more gentlemen , of all ages , choosing waistcoats to go with their suits , choosing brighter colours and patterns and some even as being as risqu ? as choosing different cuts altogether – from double breasted suits to nehru jackets .
the most important rule for black - tie is for gentleman to dress in whichever way makes him feel good . whether it be double breasted , single - breasted , white jackets , midnight navy jackets , different cuts of lapels or trimmings , everyone will have their own choices they feel comfortable with . and so i think if more gentlemen chose to wear what they really want to wear , this would naturally break the black - tie style rules a little and as a result , break up the stuffiness of such events ! do you like the idea on the next academy awards all men to wear colourful suits ?
i am absolutely a huge supporter of more colour in suits . perhaps no one can teach us better than the dandies of brazzaville , with their popularly known “democratic republic of style” . you can find some great colours without incurring a great expense , but unfortunately we still have a limited number of british mills offering such exotic colours . and so for the academy awards to offer themselves as an ambassador of colour should be congratulated .
