Navy hopsack
An open weave that breathes and refuses to crease. The one jacket to own if you only own one.
Where will you wear it, in what weather, how often, and for how many years. Answer those honestly and the book narrows to about six — these are the eight we reach for most.
An open weave that breathes and refuses to crease. The one jacket to own if you only own one.
The plain business suit, and the hardest to make interesting. We do it with the cut, not the cloth.
Brushed, soft, forgiving. Wears warm and photographs beautifully.
High-twist and porous. The only thing we recommend for August in the city.
Heavy enough to hold a shape through rain. Cut roomier on purpose.
A discreet sheen under artificial light. Dinner jackets, and nothing else.
It creases. That is the point, and anyone who matters knows it.
Eight-wale. For trousers that get worn every weekend for a decade.
Cloth weight is given in grams per linear metre. It governs how a garment hangs, how it creases, how long it lasts and which months you can wear it. Almost every regret we hear about a suit made elsewhere is a weight problem.
Open weaves and high-twist yarns. Wears cool, creases readily, needs a fuller cut to hang.
The workhorse range. If you are buying one suit, buy it here.
Flannels and heavier worsteds. Holds a line, hides a lot, warm indoors.
Tweeds and coatings. Cut generously; these are not office cloths.
Cloth photographs badly and always has. Twenty minutes in the shop with the books open tells you more than any screen.
