the fabric

The Foundation of Excellence.

The quality of your fabric dictates not only how your suit looks, but how it feels and drapes – the very essence of a truly exceptional garment.

 

SELECTING YOUR SUIT FABRIC: THE BASICS

Pick your suit fabric based on the event, climate (light/heavy), formality (smooth/textured), your budget, and how it feels. The fabric's look, weave, and weight (GSM) decide how it hangs, its comfort, and how long it lasts, shaping your style and confidence.

A WORLD OF TEXTILES

The Lapel

The lapel – those folded front flaps – dramatically shapes your jacket's style. For timeless versatility, the classic notch lapel subtly enhances your physique, fitting seamlessly into any occasion. A bold, wide peak lapel broadens the shoulders for a powerful silhouette, ideal for adding definition. For the ultimate in formal sophistication, consider the smooth, rounded shawl lapel, a hallmark of classic eveningwear.

Notched Lapel

The most standard and versatile lapel works well for any occasion.

Peak Lapel

Peak lapels broaden the shoulders and are more angular with a bold upward peak.

Shawl Lapel

A rounded, continuous curve from collar to button, common on tuxedos.

The Shoulder

Proper shoulder construction dictates the garment's line and how it interacts with the wearer's anatomy, influencing range of motion, balance, and the intended aesthetic – from natural to structured.

button closure

Button closure is a foundational element shaping the suit's silhouette and dictates the visual flow of the garment. Historically, the number and arrangement of buttons have evolved with trends, signifying different eras and levels of formality – from the functional rows of frock coats to the modern preference for strategic buttoning that flatters the wearer's form.

  • A cornerstone of any discerning wardrobe, the single-breasted jacket effortlessly adapts to every occasion and personal preference. From sharp business attire to relaxed weekend wear, its clean lines offer a timeless foundation you'll reach for again and again.

    Variations: 1 Button, 2 Buttons, 3 Buttons

  • For those who appreciate a touch of sartorial history and a bolder presence, the double-breasted jacket is an undeniable statement. Its overlapping front creates a powerful, confident silhouette that exudes timeless elegance and sets you apart with distinctive style.

    Variations: 4 Button, 6 Button

OUR BUTTONS COLLECTION

pocket styles

The right pocket style blends practicality with the suit's overall look, significantly impacting its formality. Choosing wisely ensures your suit is functional and aligns perfectly with your personal style and the event.

Flap pockets are a versatile, standard style suitable for most business and social occasions.

Jetted pockets offer a cleaner, more streamlined look often preferred for formal events and evening wear.

Patch pockets lend a casual, relaxed feel, common on sports coats and less formal suits.

the ticket pocket

A ticket pocket is a small pocket on the outside of a suit jacket, typically located above the right hip pocket. It's designed to discreetly hold small items like tickets, business cards, or a folded bill. While not essential for functionality, it adds a subtle detail and a touch of classic tailoring to the suit, often seen in more formal styles.

the chest pocket

The chest pocket, though primarily for aesthetic and a pocket square, influences the suit's formality and balance. Its style (welted or patch) subtly contributes to the overall impression, complementing the lapels and other design elements for a cohesive look appropriate for the occasion.

The welted chest pocket offers a sophisticated and streamlined detail on a suit jacket, serving as a refined canvas for showcasing a pocket square and elevating the overall sartorial presentation.

A patch chest pocket is a separate piece of fabric sewn directly onto the jacket's chest, creating a more casual, often larger, and sometimes differently textured pocket.
