Beige Donegal Low Double-Breasted Suit

A jacket that balances texture and proportion. Cut in a flecked Donegal flannel of beige, brown, terracotta, and ochre, the low double-breasted shape carries broad lapels and a soft drape. It works as part of a suit, or as a separate with dark trousers or denim, making a versatile and refined statement.

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.

Wide, flowing trousers cut in a flecked Donegal flannel. The beige ground is lifted by autumnal tones of brown, terracotta, and ochre, giving richness and depth. The generous cut amplifies the texture, creating a trouser with striking presence, equally effective as part of a suit or on its own.

• Jetted slant side pockets
• Double jet hip pocket on the right with hole and button
• 1.5” waistband
• Sexton pistol-shaped side adjusters
• 2” turn-up

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.
