Brown Linen Blend Broad Stripe Drape Suit

Nostalgic, relaxed, and a little bit glamorous. The Drape Jacket is where Edward Sexton's soft tailoring heritage meets a cloth with genuine personality - wider shoulders, soft construction, real roll and drape through the chest, two-button fastening, no ticket pocket, side vents. In this dark chocolate and cream broad chalkstripe linen blend, with its high-contrast inch-wide stripes, the whole thing has a louche summer ease that still means business. Pair with the Heritage Trousers in the same cloth for the full suit.

The Drape Jacket is inspired by the slightly softer and rounder jackets Edward first cut at Kilgour in the 1960s. Subtly extended shoulders with soft pads and a rich chest contribute to a jacket feeling supremely comfortable. We like to cut Drape Jackets in smooth gabardine, plush corduroy and heavy Irish linen – cloths that will change the character and improve with age. We also add a second button to our Drape Jackets to help balance their generous chest and shoulder line.

Nostalgic and easy, with the kind of confidence that only a really good stripe can give. The Heritage Trouser brings two forward pleats, a two-inch waistband with long extension and keeper loop detail, cut to sit an inch below the navel - classic Savile Row proportions in a cloth that moves and breathes beautifully. In this dark chocolate linen blend with its bold cream chalkstripe, the leg has real drama without trying too hard. Pair with the Drape Jacket in the same cloth for the full suit.

Those who, like us, enjoy a touch of romance in their dress may prefer trousers cut with pleats. Our Heritage Trousers are cut in the classic mid-century style with a high rise, generous legs and two deep, forward-facing pleats on each side of the waist. Trousers like these create the illusion of a slim waist and hips, and form the bottom half of the hourglass shape that starts with our jackets. We finish these with our signature pistol shaped side straps and slant-jet pockets; details which help our Heritage Trousers to retain a clean, fluid line through the leg.

A lightweight linen-cotton blend with a soft, relaxed handle and a bold statement — dark chocolate ground with cream chalkstripes spaced around an inch apart for high-contrast drama. The linen keeps it cool and easy through the warmer months; the cotton adds just enough body to hold its shape. 57% Linen, 40% Cotton, 3% Elastane. 260g.
