In summary,
This suit combines the expertise of the English cloth merchant Alfred Brown with a distinctly British style. Its anthracite grey, criss-crossed with fine light stripes, in a 340 g/m² wool, creates a bold silhouette, whilst the sharp-notched jacket and slightly rolled shoulders give it the bearing of the great classics of London tailoring. The pleatless trousers, with their extended fly and turn-ups, cleanly extend the line. This is a suit that sees you through the cold days, from morning appointments to long winter evenings.
The suit as a whole
The fabric
The Alfred Brown 100% wool fabric, 340 g/m², features fine light-coloured stripes on an anthracite grey background that elongate the silhouette with every step. Woven in Yorkshire by one of England’s last great cloth-making houses, the fabric has body and structure: it protects against chilly mornings without feeling stifling once indoors, and retains its shape throughout long days. A four-season fabric that really comes into its own when winter sets in.
The jacket
A straight-cut, two-button jacket with 10.5 cm sharp-pointed lapels that accentuate the chest and evoke the golden age of English tailoring. The two straight flap pockets maintain a clean, classic silhouette, whilst the grey horn-effect buttons discreetly complement the fabric’s colour palette. It can be worn as part of a full suit, or on its own with grey flannel trousers for a more relaxed look.
The Trousers
Pleatless, they have a straight, clean drape to complement the precision of the stripes. The 5 cm turn-up adds substance to the lower leg and pairs perfectly with black Goodyear-welted Chelsea boots. The 3 cm belt with an extended tab and the adjustment tabs hold the waist in place without the need for a leather belt, creating a clean line from the waist to the ankles.
A few details,
The rolled shoulder
The shoulder is structured, with a slight roll at the sleeve head – the hallmark of English tailors. This detail gives the shoulders a bold presence whilst maintaining a natural drape along the arm. The result is a structured silhouette that is anything but stiff.
The striped pattern
The suit is adorned with fine, light-coloured stripes, evenly spaced against an anthracite background. This chalk stripe, a timeless classic of the tailored wardrobe, elongates the silhouette and adds texture to the fabric without ever being over the top. Discreet from a distance, it reveals the full texture of the fabric when viewed up close.
The asymmetrical drawstrings
On either side of the waist, asymmetrical drawstrings allow the trousers to be adjusted to the perfect fit, without any unnecessary buckles or loops. This detail creates a clean waistline that adapts to the day’s changes whilst remaining elegant.
