Burning money is a part of the therapy, for those who can afford it at least. What I saw and see from Huntsman production let me perplex. If I had 5/6k to spend on a high brand I'd try Liverano and if I was attracted by english tailoring I would go to Steed or Steven Hitchcock which seem better values.
Not to perseverate on Huntsman’s pricing, but Kirby Allison recently a video breaking down the entry prices of the bespoke makers that he uses.
He noted that Huntsman bespoke in London starts at 5,200GBP (~6,500 USD) Whereas Huntsman bespoke in NYC starts at 9,500 USD (~7,500 GBP).
That is quite the swing for places that have comparable labor and real estate costs (if anything, I would actually assume that London is higher for both)
