Notched lapels can look handsome too, particularly on business suits or sports jackets, which can afford to be a little more understated. We eschew slim lapels, whether peaked or notched, in favour of generous shapes that reinforce an hourglass silhouette. Adding a second button to a single-breasted jacket likewise softens its impact, but is nonetheless extremely elegant and can help to balance the slightly shorter, squarer proportions of notched lapels.

A clean, warm tan woven in Italy from 100% wool with a subtle twill construction that gives the cloth a pleasing body and texture without adding weight. At 260g per metre it sits in that ideal middle ground — substantial enough to hold its shape and drape well, light enough to wear with ease. The colour has a freshness to it that works across a long season, and the twill weave adds just enough visual interest to lift it beyond a plain suiting cloth.
