Inspired by the understated elegance of 1940s American tailoring, this suit features a timeless single-breasted silhouette with broad shoulders, a soft waist, and a lowered button stance.
The 10cm wide curved peak lapel is somewhat flamboyant, bridging the understated elegance of the past and the bold expressions of the future.
Built on a half-canvas construction of pre-shrunk German horsehair canvas, it features a hand-stitched chest and lapel for a natural roll. The 300g, two-ply Australian high-twist wool ensures superior drape, wrinkle resistance, and year-round comfort.
This ready-to-wear piece marks our first half-canvas model—a tribute to the golden age of uniforms, reimagined for the contemporary wardrobe. -

The 16th century saw European tailors hone a technique of using sturdy linen and canvas as interfacing to achieve sculpted fullness and elegant drape in garments, most notably in cloaks and robes. This method laid the groundwork for the half- and full-canvas constructions seen in fine modern suiting. This core assembly of the canvas and hidden components like shoulder pads is what defines a suit's "structure."
