Prince of Wales Drape Double-Breasted Suit
Description
Timeless Savile Row elegance, and entirely effortless with it. The double-breasted drape jacket — wide lapels, generous wrap, soft construction — pairs with the Heritage Trouser's forward pleats and classic proportions for a silhouette that is both relaxed and authoritative. In this subtle Prince of Wales check the whole thing has a lightness and freshness that carries it beautifully through the warmer months without ever losing its composure. A suit that has always been right and always will be.

The Double-Breasted Drape Jacket is inspired by the slightly softer and rounder jackets Edward first cut at Kilgour in the 1960s. Subtly extended shoulders with soft pads and a rich chest contribute to a supremely comfortable feel.

Trouser Block
Those who, like us, enjoy a touch of romance in their dress may prefer trousers cut with pleats. Our Heritage Trousers are cut in the classic mid-century style with a high rise, generous legs and two deep, forward-facing pleats on each side of the waist. Trousers like these create the illusion of a slim waist and hips, and form the bottom half of the hourglass shape that starts with our jackets. We finish these with our signature pistol shaped side straps and slant-jet pockets; details which help our Heritage Trousers to retain a clean, fluid line through the leg.
