Charcoal and Gold Stripe Suit

Formal with a quiet playfulness. A charcoal and gold stripe Low Double Breasted Jacket — one button, lower placement, strong shoulders with rope — that carries the tradition of the pinstripe with just enough colour to make it feel entirely its own. The bright gold stripe against the dark charcoal bird's eye ground gives it a nostalgic elegance and a Sexton edge that sets it apart from the conventional city stripe. No vents, no ticket pocket. Shown here in a size 40.

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. This style too relies on the delicate balancing of proportions. The lower buttoning point and subtly extended shoulder line focus 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.

Smart and nostalgic. The Classic Trouser in this charcoal and gold stripe wool is plain-fronted and high-rise, flowing with a clean, considered elegance through a straight leg. The firm, beautifully set cloth holds the stripe with complete precision and keeps its shape through a long day. Plain bottoms. Shown here in a size 34.

• Flat front
• Jetted slant side pockets
• Double jet hip pocket on the right with hole and button
• 2" waistband with elongated extension and keeper loop
• Sexton pistol-shaped side adjusters
• Plain bottoms
• Inlay to let out the waist up to 2”
• Inlay to let out the fork 1”
• 2" of inlay in the hem to lengthen the trousers

Our classic gentlemen’s trouser developed in 2023 is clean and close around the top but fuller through the knee and hem. This trouser is both comfortable and timelessly elegant, and with its 2” waistband with a long extension and side adjusters, it sits beautifully on an elegant shoe or rests naturally on a trainer.

Nostalgic and quietly striking. A fine dark charcoal bird's eye ground woven in Italy from 100% wool at 380g per metre, carrying a narrow bright gold pinstripe at one-inch intervals with tiny red dotted stripes either side that anchor the gold with a barely-there precision. Firm and beautifully set in the hand, with a traditional Savile Row character that is unusual without being overt — a cloth with real personality that reveals itself gradually. 100% wool, 380g/m², woven in Italy. Dry clean.
