NEW ITEM: Tuxedo


Every so often I actually listen to what my clients want, well I ALWAYS listen, but don't necessarily do anything about it (!) Having gotten quite a few requests for a formal tuxedo, I decided to give it a go since my house cut one button suit wasn't too far removed from a tuxedo style. So here is the first offering of a 2 piece tux (no cummerbund, but does anyone even wear one anymore?) Black peak lapel, one button design. Jacket is unvented, all buttons are satin covered, single button on jacket sleeve, satin lapels and trim on jacket, satin stripe down trouser leg. Trouser has no rear pockets and 2 button'd side tabs rather than belt loops. So next time you need to go to a black tie event, show up in style.

One button half lined Jacket


See post below for inside shot of the half lining.

This jacket is a one button notch lapel in the "Petrol Blue", tho it has photo'd more grey but the fabric is definitely a blue tone. The jacket also has swelled seams at the lapels (an homage to vintage styled jacket lapels) and has Mother of Pearl buttons, which are now available at a slight surcharge. Normally the notch lapel One Button jacket has horizontal pockets, but this one has the angled hacking pockets, with the house detail overlapping ticket pocket.

New for Spring/Summer: Half Lined Jackets


For those of you looking for a warm weather jacket, this is a new construction option....a half lined jacket. Now personally I don't believe a "warm weather" jacket exists in any capacity but this will definitely be more wearable when paired with a lighter weight fabric like the recent new Greys and Herringbones. More summer fabrics to come in near future as well.

The jacket is half lined as you can see, with taped seams using the lining as edge reinforcement.
