Created for the discerning gentleman, the AW26 collection showcases beautifully refined cloths designed to bring depth, character and sophistication to your winter wardrobe.
A short reminder that we will be closed for the last 2 weeks in August. This aligns us pretty neatly with our cloth merchants’ and makers’ holidays across Europe.
Matching up wth their dates makes sense and gives the business the least permissible downtime

Few suit patterns carry the heritage, sophistication, and versatility of the Glen Check suit. Also known as Glen Plaid or Prince of Wales Check, this iconic fabric has been a cornerstone of British tailoring for over a century and has seen a resurgence in its relevance today.
Originating in the Scottish Highlands, the pattern was first used on the Glenurquhart Estate before being adopted and popularised by King Edward VII and later Edward VIII. Their appreciation for the design transformed it from practical country wear into a symbol of refined elegance.
Loro Piana’s brand new Proposte Abiti and Giacche summer collections have arrived.
These sought-after fabrics are available in limited amounts and sell out year on year.
Bold and wearable checks are placed alongside textured plains and masculine dogtooths. Presented in a palette of wearable and considered blues, browns and beiges. The airforce blues being a personal highlight.
“Go easy on yourself, it’s the first time you’ve done this” is something you will hear me say a lot in the atelier. Clients often come to us for the first time and expect everything to be perfect, when they may not know what perfect means to them yet. I see our job as nailing the proportions and fit as close as as can, and then gently guiding and assisting you to find your own style within those parameters.
Its the time of the year where we invite you all to our Christmas drinks. It is a wonderfully pleasant evening and a very jovial affair. Always a lovely way to catch up with friends and convene over some cracking drinks. As ever the drinks will be furnished by Connollys and with a white wine and champagne theme.
Loro Piana have been busy releasing some wonderful new collections in time for AW25.
The seasonal collections ecompass suitings with their Abiti card, and jackets with their Giacche cards.
These collections are some of the most sought after fabrics that Loro Piana offer. Both in terms of their exclusivity and also their style.
Our brand new autumn winter seasonal fabrics have arrived. From luxurious and tactile flannels by Vitale Barberis Canonico, buttery soft cashmere jackets from Di Pray and hardy merino suitings by Leichtfried Loden, we have your winter wardrobe covered.
Our shirtings feature a winter staple of brushed cottons, flannels, needle corduroy and textured chambrays by Getzner, Mileta and Albini.
High-twist cloth is as it sounds. A cloth that has yarns that have been twisted more tightly than normal, and often with more yarns that normal. As standard worsted cloth has 2 yarns, commonly referred to as 2-ply. High-twist cloth normally comes in 2-ply, 4-ply, and even 6-ply.
The 6-ply I found was even accompanied by a picture of some biceps alluding to its inherent strength. Made me smile.
I have a soft spot for linen jackets. I adore the way linen breathes and its natural tendency to rumpling is something that has grown on me over the years. And I get hot….
Initially I shied away from linen summer jackets and all their casual connotations. But certainly, since covid there has been a shift to ever more casual styles and more easy-going fabrics and I feel this is a good thing. It allows for more expression and more playfulness, and clothes should be enjoyed.
Bespoke linen jackets can be a blessing and a curse. On one hand, linen is a tough and pliab
