01 The House
Our wardrobe knows no date. It is timeless.
Made by modern means, thought in the old school. An English line, a house cut that lasts, worked onto one man. Not faster, not louder. Right.
Our story
02 The Fit
No slim fit. No low waistband. The waistband sits at the waist, the shoulder stays natural, the waist is suggested, not pulled in.
A suit that only works standing still is no suit. You sit in it. You walk in it. You work in it.
03 Lookbook
Five days a week. Navy, mid-grey, charcoal. Herringbone, pinstripe, Prince of Wales, houndstooth. Patterns right for a hundred years, and right still.
Tweed, corduroy, flannel. One jacket for the racecourse, one for Sunday. Room to move, and never a costume.
Gala, ball, wedding. The dinner suit first. Beneath it a three-piece you go on wearing afterwards.
Fabric suppliers
Among them Vitale Barberis Canonico, Loro Piana and Zegna; for shirts Albini 1876 and Getzner. An extract. On the table in the boutique lies many times more.

04 Made to Measure
The measure first. Then the house cut, brought to your bearing. Then the specification: lapel, lining, buttons, pockets. The sewing comes last. Everything returns once more for a fitting.
