Iron Charlie

Now this is what we call "Clean Living Under Difficult Circumstances"!  Charlie from UK hardcore band Violent Reaction and London based Oi band Crown Court, showing us an arm in a sling is still no reason to get properly suited up.  In 3 button 60s styled Charcoal Sharkskin suit on a dreary London day.  Sounds perfect to us!

VBC 124

Not the best lighting, but who cares when you have this much swagger!  Coop is wearing a 3 button suit in classic 60s style, with MOP buttons.  We always endorse dressing HARD and SMART!

2013 Winter Burgundy/black Tweed in action

This is the burgundy/black weave tweed that I added at end of 2013, the fabric is made of interwoven burgundy and black threads, but the final effect is that of burgundy.  Really nice shade, not too red, just the right color of oxblood, makes for a great full suit, or separates.  Can easily be paired with different jackets/trousers if you get the full suit as the cloth is very versatile to mix/match with.  Shown here in a 3/2 roll jacket stance with ticket pocket and swelled seams at the lapels.

3 Button CMT

This is a 3 button suit, styled like a traditional later 60s "skinhead suit" with high 3 button stance, angled pockets and ticket pocket.  The fabric is my own CMT that I found just enough for 2 suits, mine and a client in Tokyo. 2 photos, shown in a harsher direct sunlight, and in a diffused shade light on a hot summer day!

If you have already purchased a suit and dialed in your fit, CMT is a great way to get something unique that may otherwise not be possible!  CMT orders are only for established customers, if you have never ordered a suit (and decided the cut/fit works for you) then you will have to order from house cloth before doing CMT.

VBC 124 jacket

High button stance "house cut" 3 button jacket in VBC 124, a greyish blue wool.  This is indoor appearance, when seen in natural light the fabric will appear lighter in color.  This jacket also has angled pockets with the house style overlapping ticket pocket and Mother of Pearl buttons.

CTUK fabric tonic suit

3 button tonic suit made from CTUK cloth which is a grey/blue color.  Suss and class all the way!

Classic Skinhead suit Petrol Blue

Cool shot of the classic late 60s "skinhead suit", meaning it has high button position, narrow lapels, angled pockets w/ticket pocket. Fabric is the Petrol Blue Sharkskin.  Definitely a social occasion suit, dress to impress next time Derrick Morgan or Roy Ellis come to town for a once in lifetime gig!!

3 button suit in CT UK

This is the new cloth called CT-UK, now available.  It is a medium all season weight wool, very much like a "tonic" cloth, with a high sheen.  Color is in the same family as petrol blue, it's similar but not the same. I think this is more blue than the petrol blue sharkskin and would almost say the color is not too far from what is called "airforce blue" (tho has more grey in the cloth than airforce would).  This suit is high buttoning, true 3-button suit with ticket pocket and hacking pockets.

Navy Blazer

House cut navy blazer with MOP buttons

Burgundy flannel fun jacket

This jacket is a 3/2 (lapel rolls to middle button on a 3-button stance), undarted patch pocket jacket made from burgundy flannel.  This jacket is very casual, all pockets are patched with contrast color topstitching in a powder blue, and lapels are also topstitched in powder blue. Bottom-most sleeve buttonhole and middle buttonhole are also done in powder blue. Buttons are in a bronze Mother of Pearl.  The one thing to learn from this photo, don't keep your cell phone in your jacket pocket if you want to avoid unsightly bulges!  Trousers are also Thick as Thieves, made from the now sold out Petrol Blue sharkskin.

3 Button suit, How we like it!

Met up with a fella that bought this 3-button house cut charcoal suit last year as he wanted to check out new fabrics.  This is the way we like a 3-button suit to be worn, sharp and clean, tight and fitted.  Easily the smartest looking fella in Crown City yesterday!

Sharkskin suit

This is a unique style of suiting, using a client's own sharkskin fabric.  Excuse the wrinkles as it is yet unpressed!!  It is a 3-button cut with fabric covered buttons, and multiple ticket pockets on each side. Sleeves have 6 fabric covered buttons on each side.  The left photo shows its 2-tone sheen when hit with the camera flash, the right side in neutral light to see the details clearer.  This is a perfect suit for the next time Roy Ellis comes to your town to play a gig!!

Patch pocket sport coat

A 3 button patch pocket sport coat in "true navy blue new tweed".  This jacket has contrast light blue topstitching around the lapels, front quarters, and around the patch pockets.  The buttons are a mix of grey Mother of Pearl and a single white Mother of Pearl on the middle button as well as at the end of each sleeve.  This jacket is an idea of a fun social jacket that doesn't need to conform to convention (or good taste even)!  Jacket is worn with trousers made from the "sage green new tweed" fabric.
