How it is made
Wool and mohair, silk peak lapels, made to measure.
Mohair keeps a suit cool and crisp, which matters when the reception is in a marquee in December. We half-canvas the jacket so it moulds to the chest over time, set the sleeves by hand so you can raise a glass without the collar lifting, and keep your pattern on file so the next suit needs only one fitting.
Every piece carries a woven label with the initials of the person who finished it and the date it left the studio.
