Charcoal Chalk Stripe Suit
Description
Charcoal Chalk Stripe Suit — Contemporary Notch Jacket & Classic Trouser
A Sexton staple and a Savile Row classic. A dark charcoal chalk stripe suit with a powerful stripe that is bold in proportion and soft in colour, the mottled mid-grey chalk stripe sitting against the dark charcoal ground with a quiet, serious authority that is timeless without being conventional. The Contemporary Notch Jacket's strong shoulder line and generous lapel carry the stripe with precision; the Classic Trouser's clean, straight cut keeps the whole thing sharp and considered. A suit that belongs in every serious wardrobe and earns its place every time it is worn. Shown here in a size 40 jacket and size 34 trouser.
100% wool, 340g/m², woven in Italy. Dry clean.

Jacket Block
Notched lapels can look handsome too, particularly on business suits or sports jackets, which can afford to be a little more understated. We eschew slim lapels, whether peaked or notched, in favour of generous shapes that reinforce an hourglass silhouette. Adding a second button to a single-breasted jacket likewise softens its impact, but is nonetheless extremely elegant and can help to balance the slightly shorter, squarer proportions of notched lapels.

Trouser Block
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.
