Ribbed Heritage Stripe Suit

Subtle and surprising, this is a suit that rewards a second look. The Heritage Jacket - peak lapel, one button, two side vents, out ticket pocket - reads almost black from across the room: dark, elegant, and quietly authoritative. Get closer and the cloth reveals itself; a ribbed brown pinstripe every 5/8 of an inch, punctuated by narrow dark green stripes in between, with a texture you can see and feel. Pair with the Parallel Trousers in the same cloth for the full suit.

Our Heritage Jacket is the epitome of the Sexton look, cut with confident peak lapels, a straight shoulder line and one button to fasten. Single-breasted one-button jackets like this contribute to a lean, athletic look. The single button focuses the eye on the wearer’s natural waistline, while a broad lapel draws the eye towards the shoulders, which contrasts with the jacket’s slim waist. The overall impression is supremely elegant, and true to our Art Deco reference points.

Subtle and surprising, with real depth when you look closely. The Parallel Trousers are a Sexton archive cut - close at the top, narrow through the knee, with that elegant flare created by line work alone. In this ribbed stripe wool they carry a quiet authority from a distance that reveals genuine character up close. The side pockets are sewn shut, a nod to when these were cut so tight there was nowhere for them to live. Pair with the Heritage Jacket in the same cloth for the full suit.

Most of our trousers are cut with timeless, gently tapered legs, but we also recently reintroduced Parallel Trousers, which taper through the thigh and then fall straight from the knee, giving the impression of a subtle flare. These come with no small amount of sex appeal, and are the style of trouser that Edward introduced at Nutter’s of Savile Row, as worn by the rock aristocracy of the 1970s – Mick Jagger in particular. Turn-ups add a touch of panache, and help wider leg trousers to drape and fall correctly – and so are always to be encouraged. We like healthy two-inch turn-ups on all of our trousers.

Dark, textured, and full of detail. From a distance this cloth reads almost black, but up close it reveals a ribbed brown pinstripe set every 5/8 of an inch, with narrow dark green stripes running between them — a playful retro character hiding behind a serious exterior. The ribbed construction gives the stripes a tactile quality you can feel as well as see. Lightweight and breathable, yet impressively crease-resistant. 78% Wool, 21% Tencel, 1% Elastane. 290g/m
