BUILT-UP CHEST
Our Ivy Style is a love letter to midcentury North American tailoring, a genre we believe is often overlooked in the current fine tailoring realm. Featuring a dartless front, no side body panel, and no shoulder padding whatsoever, this style is very comfortable and extremely wearable.
An Ivy jacket can be worn with matching trousers as a character rich suit, or just as easily with jeans or chinos as a more elevated option next to a chore jacket. We recommend commissioning the Ivy in soft flannels, tweeds, hopsacks, and cotton/linen blends.
The Continental is our more typical modern silhouette. Based specifically on Roman tailoring ideals, the style features stiffer chest construction, a side panel and front dart for waist shaping, and slightly built up straight shoulders.
The Continental is best fit for formal events such as weddings, and is the ideal corporate business suit silhouette. The Continental cut will look its sharpest in lighter worsted flannels and fine Super 100-200s range wools as a two or three piece suit.
TROUSERS
WATCH POCKET
SIDE ADJUSTERS
Our tendency towards sharp but full silhouettes extends to our house cut trouser as well. We opt for a classic leg line, shaped enough to be sharp, but could by no means be considered slim or skinny. They sit at the natural waist, just below the belly button, with a traditional rise and 2 ¼ inch tall extended waistband that features an after-dinner split as the center back for comfort. We also like to add a watch pocket just below the waistband for any small items like key fobs. Our preferred cinching method are side adjusters, as we value a clean uninterrupted waistline without both the visual and physical bulk of a belt.
