How to Wear It Right
Keep It Tailored
A double-breasted suit should hug the torso without pulling. In-house tailoring ensures a perfect fit.
Master the Buttons
Always button the anchor button (usually inside) and keep the jacket closed when standing. Unbutton when seated.
Layer Smart
For a relaxed vibe, swap the tie for a fine-gauge cashmere crewneck or a turtleneck in a rich fall tone.
Color & Fabric Choices
- Charcoal or Navy Flannel: Seasonal and sophisticated.
- Lightweight Wool: Ideal for year-round versatility.
- Checks & Chalk Stripes: For the confident dresser.
