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!

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 Sharkskin suit in full lounge effect

This is a real life shot of the Navy Sharkskin cloth on a client.  I dig the nonchalant feel of this picture, and you can almost imagine a line of coke and some high $$$ prostitutes waiting in the wings, tho of course we DO NOT ENDORSE cocaine in any way!!!

Closeup: Blue Grey Vintage Sharkskin

Full size photos of suit being worn coming mid-August.

Similar to the other 1 button suit, this is also single button, with patch pockets but no flap, and the breast pocket is patched as well. All topstitched around lapels (2.75" wide) and pockets.  MOP buttons as well.  This jacket also features an undarted construction for a cleaner front quarter appearance. Please disregard what looks like a discoloration on the cloth, it means my camera lens needs cleaning!

ull live shots worn outdoors coming mid August!!

This is a very specialized 3 button suit.  High buttoning position, with angled  hacking pockets and multiple ticket pockets on each side (3 total ticket pockets).  MOP buttons and  narrow 2" lapels.

Soon to come, live shots of suit being worn.  Please excuse what looks like spots/discoloration on the cloth, they are not actually there!!!

This is a 1-button suit, with topstitched lapels and a flap patch pocket.  Single button on cuff.  Lapels are 2.5" wide and you might notice the jacket is undarted in a classic ivy league style for a cleaner frontal appearance.

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!!
