Fabric Composition: 65% Wool, 35% Recycled Polyester.

This one is our regular Autumn/Winter collection corduroy available in trousers and jackets. It is an 8-Wale, mid-weight cord, the lower the number of wales the more pronounced the cord effect, and is available in two colours black and fawn.

Fabric Composition: 100% Cotton.

Let us try to undo any confusion as this season we have two fabrics called Fine Cord however they are not the same. One is a 16-wale cord and has made its appearance in many Autumn/Winter collections. It is the lightest weight of all our cords but still feels like a ‘winter weight’, the appearance of the wales is subtle and it makes the perfect overshirt fabric. This is available in three colours; olive, bark, and navy and two styles, Bakers Overshirt & Kyoto Work Jacket.

Our other similarly named Fine Cord has 12-Wales, so they are slightly more visible, and this one has more weight and structure. It is available in two colours; brown and navy and two styles Field Shirt and Uniform Jacket.

This wool blend, mid-weight fabric showcases a unique broken floral pattern, rotary-printed on a grey mélange Flannel. It adds a distinctive touch to your Autumn-Winter wardrobe.

Returning for another Winter season, this two-tone brown Pinstripe is a mid-weight fabric made from 70% Cotton. With a lightly brushed surface, it feels soft against the skin while maintaining durability for everyday wear. The high cotton content provides structure, making it an ideal choice for contemporary suiting.

Although on a first glance it initially appears to be a woven heavy Tweed, it is actually knitted. A wool blend fabric with a loop surface texture, brushed which softens and blends the colours of the check. A loose-ish knit structure but creating a chunky thickness.

Fabric Composition: 67% Wool, 33% Recycled Polyester.

This fabric’s manufacturing process embraces a more circular approach. The uniform indigo-like colour resembles denim but is woven using the same yarn in the warp and weft which on closer inspection reveals subtle slubs and flecks, a characteristic of its 100% recycled Cotton fibres. The result is a structured fabric that works equally well in both relaxed tailoring, like our double-breasted Manor Jacket, and casual styles, such as the Trucker Jacket. Pair these jackets with our Military Chino or opt for the looser silhouette of the Duke Pant.

Fabric Composition: 100% Recycled Cotton.

One of our lighter winter-weight fabrics, the Upcycled Italian Tweed, is made in a region in Italy known for incorporating recycled materials. This blend of Cotton and Upcycled Wool yarns is used specifically for our suiting. We appreciate how the Wool breathes, offering a looser structure, excellent recovery, and crease resistance. The subtle herringbone weave is more pronounced in the olive colourway, while it appears more understated in navy.
