Why our fabrics work all year

Tailoring is only as good as its cloth. Here is what ours is made of, and how to look after it.

The blazers

The Oversized Black Blazer and the Oversized White Blazer are cut in a 195gsm woven cloth: 82% polyester, 15% rayon and 3% spandex. Gsm is the weight of one square metre of fabric. At 195, the cloth is heavy enough to hold a structured shoulder and light enough to wear all year. The spandex gives a little stretch. Each blazer is fully lined.

The trousers

The Tailored Black Trousers are cut in a heavier cloth, 260gsm, in 96% polyester and 4% elastane. The extra weight keeps the front crease and the straight leg in shape through a full day. The waistband and pocket bags are lined. The leg is unlined.
