Custom-Made Outfit, August 2026

The time golden

August often marks a breather. The days stretch out, people are heading off on vacation one after another, and fall still seems far away. Yet it is precisely during this time that we begin preparing our back-to-school wardrobe. A custom-made piece takes several weeks to craft: ordering it today means you’ll be ready by early fall, when temperatures start to drop.

For this August, Blandin & Delloye has put together a look designed to accompany this transition. A beige checkered suit by Dormeuil, a double-breasted overcoat in Loro Piana wool, a striped wool-and-linen jacket, a classic white shirt, and dark brown Balmoral shoes come together to form a complete wardrobe that can adapt as the season progresses. Worn by Magno Scavo, this ensemble embodies understated elegance, where each piece naturally finds its place, whether worn alone or layered.

In summary

A back-to-school look built on layers and contrasts: a beige checkered suit as the standout piece for the office, a double-breasted overcoat in thick wool for chilly mornings, a jacket as a lighter alternative for travel days, a white shirt that slips under any of them without ever drawing attention to itself, and a brown Balmoral coat that completes the look with authority.

 

 

THE CENTERPIECE: THE BEIGE SUIT

Beige isn’t the first color that comes to mind for a suit, and that’s precisely what makes it so appealing. Dormeuil presents it here in its famous Tonik Wool, featuring a subtle check pattern that becomes more apparent as you get closer. This fabric lends the silhouette all the freshness of a luminous hue, while maintaining the structure and depth expected of a true back-to-school suit.

Featuring a Neapolitan shoulder, the jacket moves naturally with your body without ever losing its structure. The trousers, with an outseam pleat, offer a relaxed fit that falls perfectly to the shoes. An ensemble designed to carry you through the day with the same ease, from your first morning meeting to the final conversations over a leisurely lunch.

DETAILS OF OUR SUIT

THE ART OF LAYERING: THE COAT

THE LORO PIANA WOOL DOUBLE-BREASTED OVERCOAT

As the first chill of fall sets in, the overcoat naturally becomes the last piece you put on before leaving the house. This one is crafted from Loro Piana virgin wool, chosen for its density, softness, and ability to protect against the cold without ever weighing down the silhouette. A piece designed to accompany both the first days of fall and winter mornings.

Its double-breasted closure creates a bold look, while the brown suede collar tab and the burgundy felt hidden beneath the lapel demonstrate meticulous attention to detail. Paired with a beige suit, it naturally extends the harmony of the silhouette and accompanies the transition to the colder seasons with the same elegance.

THE ALTERNATIVE: THE BROWN JACKET

ALFRED BROWN WOOL AND LINEN HERRINGBONE JACKET

For days when a full suit feels too formal, the Alfred Brown jacket is the perfect alternative. Woven in Yorkshire by Alfred Brown, it combines wool and linen in an elegant herringbone weave that adds depth and character to the silhouette without ever feeling overstated. A cloth designed to retain its structure while remaining comfortable to wear through the lingering warmth of late summer.

Its pleated patch pockets, matching breast pocket and soft construction give it a more relaxed feel than a traditional suit jacket. Paired with a white shirt, flannel trousers or chinos, this made-to-measure jacket transitions effortlessly from a day at the office to a leisurely lunch or a weekend in the city.
