Silver Linen Blend Oxford Bag Suit

An earthy, textured silver that carries the ease of linen and the structure of wool in equal measure - this is a summer suit cloth with genuine substance to it. The slubby finish gives it an organic depth that lifts it well beyond the ordinary, and the colour has a cool, sophisticated neutrality that works across a wide range of shirts and occasions. The Low Double Breasted Jacket is clean and geometric - one button fastening with a two-button show, strong shoulders with rope, no vents, and an emphasis that runs cleanly from shoulder to hip. Chic, considered, and distinctly modern. Pair with the Classic Trouser in the same cloth for the full suit.

The Low Double-Breasted Jacket fastens at the hip, which has its roots in the 1930s and ‘40s, seen in films that Edward long admired like Casablanca. This style too relies on the delicate balancing of proportions. The lower buttoning point and subtly extended shoulder line focus the eyes on the shoulder and hip rather than accentuating the waist. This creates a louche, masculine, and fluid silhouette. We cut these jackets slightly looser in the body and without rear vents, true to their Art Deco archetypes.

Big, full, and genuinely elegant - the Oxford Bags in this earthy silver linen blend carry a flow and presence that makes the most of the cloth's natural drape. The slubby texture gives them a depth and organic character as they move, while the linen keeps them light and fresh through the warmth. Pleated fronts, cut to sit just below the navel, with that incredible width that Edward was cutting in the late sixties and early seventies. Pistol side adjusters. A trouser for someone confident enough to wear real style.

With roots dating back to the 1920's these trousers began life as a comfortable garment for students of Oxford university, before finding their place as a staple in 40's swing dance halls, and again in 1970's soul movements. With heritage running through from old school university wealth to dance and music, these trousers are truly a little piece of history.

An earthy silver with a slubby, textured finish that gives this cloth a natural depth and organic character. Woven in Italy from 60% wool and 40% linen, the two fibres balance each other beautifully - the linen brings lightness, breathability, and that distinctive dry handle; the wool provides structure, recovery, and the drape that keeps the cloth looking sharp through a long day. At 235g per metre it sits perfectly for the warmer months, with enough body to hold its shape without ever feeling heavy. 60% wool, 40% linen, 235g/m², woven in Italy. Dry clean.
