Navy w/subtle overcheck agrees with Harvard Law School graduate!

Congrats to our good friend Kelvin, who finished his law degree from some school called Harvard.  Next stop, kicking ass working in NYC!  That hair will conquer and take no prisoners!!

Black Mohair suit

Mostly House cut suit in black mohair, having a good time (we hope) at the Golden Globes!

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!

Velvet Collar sportjacket

 For this coming fall season why not add some spice to your wardrobe with a velvet half collar sport jacket.  Similar in concept to our Crombie overcoat, this is a great way to add some visual interest to a sport jacket, can be done with any cloth and there are a few color options for the velvet (black, brown, navy, burgundy)

Jacket shown is a 1 button notch lapel with Mother of Pearl buttons, angled jacket pockets with house design overlapping ticket pocket.  Burgundy half collar

Fabric is the grey windowcheck originally posted here in 2010 (also available in a navy and brown colorway)

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!

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.

Closeup and normal shot of the Navy Birdseye from the "G-series" cloths posted in Nov 2012.  Great color and texture!

Medium Grey Sharkskin

Really cool! 1 button suit in the Medium Grey Sharkskin, all house cut details.   

Peter/Shruthi Wedding

One of our favorite summer/spring cloths, the pale grey #19, here shown on a house cut wedding suit.  Congratulations to Peter and Shruthi on their big day!

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.

Lam wedding party!

Couple shots from Johan and Charlene's wedding.  All groom/groomsman suits in navy mohair wool.

CTUK fabric tonic suit

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

Petrol Blue sharkskin suit

Very nice shot of the petrol blue sharkskin fabric.  2 button suit, no ticket pocket and house cut. Thanks Sam for sharing the photo!

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.

100% Silk cloth sample!

This is the first sample of a pure 100% silk cloth woven a French Blue color.  The sampling for this cloth is still underway, but as a first sampling, the result was far better than I expected.  The cloth is pure silk, so has a slight sheen similar to sharkskin, but it is not "shiny" in the way you would think pure silk cloth to be.  The cloth is smooth but has some textural hand to it.  The best thing about this cloth is that I will be able to control the color, so any popular colors that sell out can be restocked in this material (such as Petrol Blue).  This first batch was done to a French "cornflower" blue, definitely not a workplace suit, but for those looking for something unique this is definitely going to fit the bill.  The cloth is very lightweight and has a fantastic drape to it.  You can even smell the pure silk fibre which has its own distinct scent.  While not as wrinkly as linen, it is def a "needs some care" cloth and I would recommend a good steaming out to de-wrinkle the cloth every couple wears. Tho after a night of dancing to 60s R'nB and rockabilly, it def roadtested well and I didnt look as disheveled as I thought I might have afterwards.  This cloth is still in sampling process to tighten the weave and sort out any inconsistencies, but keep an eye out in very near future for some offereings in this cloth. Price is still a bit TBD but will be in line with my pricing point.
