Black Flannel Low Double-Breasted Suit

£1,900.00
Description
Our Black Flannel Double-Breasted Suit is a study in power and poise. Cut in the house’s unmistakable silhouette, the jacket features generous peak lapels, a structured shoulder, and a long elegant architectural line into the waist.

In a soft mid-weight wool flannel, the deep black cloth has a milled finish, lending depth and richness that a plain worsted cannot achieve. The fabric’s warmth and drape make it ideal for autumn and winter dressing, striking the perfect balance between presence and wearability.

The matching trousers, cut on Sexton’s classic block, sit high on the waist to elongate the leg, falling into a clean, straight line with no tapering for a chic, timeless profile. Together, jacket and trousers create a suit that is at once commanding and versatile—equally at home in the boardroom, at evening engagements, or styled with a rollneck for modern ease.
Jacket Description

In Edward Sexton’s elegant low double breasted style, this black flannel jacket is contemporary tailoring with timeless edge. The double-breasted silhouette, with its broad peak lapels and structured shoulder, defines the torso and commands presence without effort.


The cloth is a supple, mid-weight flannel, which offers both warmth and fluidity, making it a versatile option for autumn and winter dressing. In deep black givings the suit gravitas, while the soft brushed texture of flannel lends it a richness and subtle depth.

Jacket Block

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, and this too relies on the delicate balancing of proportions. The lower buttoning point and subtly extended shoulder-line focuses 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.
