Our cut is a hybrid of English, Italian and French tailoring techniques resulting in a new liberation in ease of wear
combined with sexy, evocative, timeless style. We have spent the majority of 2020 indoors, while it is hard to
generalise on how people have dressed during that time, it is clear that there has been a realignment in sartorial
priority. When the 2008 crash happened, the revival of suiting placed emphasis on structure and tailoring being an
extension of geometry. Today, we value beautiful silhouettes and flattering angles, but not at the expense of
comfort.
At the same time we’ve worked our garments such that they display a beautiful, soft, diaphanous effect that grows
more appealing the more often you wear them. The result is beautifully draping yet highly pliable suiting that is
heroically styled yet as comfortable as your weekend clothes. As opposed to the majority of overly fitted clothing,
our garments actually look better the more items you put in their pockets. They are conceived for men working,
living and moving through real life at a fast-paced trajectory. Finally our garments are carefully constructed in
one of the best factories in Puglia, Italy, using fabrics from the very finest cloth mills such as Vitale Barberis
Canonico so they will only grow better with age. On top of that, there seems to be very little consideration for
value within the market and we have never felt that to be right. The customer has been lured by the label and apart
from that the justification for the high price point is hard to pin down. Classic style therefore becomes
inaccessible to the community of sartorially dedicated who understand more than anyone else how clothes like these
bring value on a spiritual level, not just an aesthetic one.
