Built to be kept
We would rather sell one jacket that is worn for ten years than three that are worn for a season. So we cut with extra cloth in the seams, leave trousers unhemmed and answer every sizing question before an order is placed.
The cutting room
Made the slow way
Tailoring and ready-to-wear, cut to be worn — and altered — for years.
Why we half-canvas
Inside the chest of every jacket sits a layer of wool and horsehair canvas, stitched to the cloth rather than glued. It lets the lapel roll, and over months of wear it moulds to the wearer.
It takes longer to make. It is also why a good jacket looks better in its third year than its first.
