Bold Navy Windowcheck suit


2 button suit in "2010 Windowcheck", bold navy pattern!  Rakish 2 button suit with peak lapels, in traditional cut proportions and details.  As can be seen by this photo, while the plaid pattern is bold, from a viewable distance it softens out and is not as bold as it seems when seem up close.

Navy Mohair suit in action!

Many thanks to Mr McArthur, a very classy gentleman who was gracious to share these photos he had taken for a personal portfolio wearing his Thick as Thieves suit made from navy wool/mohair.  Mohair/wool blend is a classic fabric, gaining it's utmost popularity in the early-later 60s (which happens to be our favorite era of clothes).  Never looks out of place in conservative environments, and won't look stuffy (if worn correctly) at more casual social events!  As you can see Mr McArthur knows how to wear it with panache, and add his own personal touches for a complete story.

This is the same suit in photos below, but in direct sunlight, as you can see lighting plays a big part in how fabric color appears.

Navy Birdseye peak lapel suit

Some great photos to show the Navy Birdseye wool cloth posted November 2012.  This suit is done in a hybrid house/traditional cut, with peak lapels rather than the standard notch lapel on a 2 button suit.  Thanks for the great pics Adrian!

Dark Grey Mohair in Action!!

Wow! We love this photo by Frank!!  He is wearing a traditional styled suit in dark grey mohair.  All details (lapel, jacket length, etc) are in the traditional style, tho with this awesome action shot it definitely makes the suit look more like one of our house cuts!!  Also his trouser has the optional 2 button side tab (no belt loops).  Needless to say it's a fantastic image, so many thanks to Mr. Frank!

Separates suit in flannel

We Love Love Love separates suits at Thick as Thieves.  I think it's a great way to look smart with just enough casual vibe. It's also the best way to expand your wardrobe without buying anything new if you have a few suits to mix/match from.  This example is in flannel, navy flannel jacket with burgundy flannel trouser.  It's personally my favorite color combo to pair together and it's nice to see W also feel the same and he looks to be carrying it off with aplomb!

Tweed #5



An example of a jacket made in Tweed #5, from 2011 fall tweeds.  This jacket has Mother of Pearl buttons with patch pockets.  Unfortunately I think the lighting is off, and the photos appear a bit too "blue".  This is a cool grey shade, but does not have any blueness to it.  The swatch in the fabric page is more true to real color, but these photos give a sense of the overall scale of the plaid and its effect as a full garment.
