Collection

Not a catalogue. A record of what has been made.

Every piece is cut to one person. What follows is in two parts - the concept, studied in the studio before anything is cut, and the reality, photographed on the people it was made for.

Concept - the vision

The intent behind a style, settled on paper before anyone is measured.

The four styles we cut most often, from whichever angles were studied - front, back, and the detail close enough to read the cloth. These are design studies rather than photographs of finished garments: they fix the silhouette, the button stance and the weight of cloth we will work from in your consultation.

Reality - the result

The same intent, finished and worn by the person it was cut for.

Photographed where the suits actually go - offices, travel, the occasions they were ordered for. Not styled and not relit: the garment as it behaves on a working day.

What we make

Five things, made properly, rather than fifty made approximately.

Suits

Two-piece and three-piece

Single or double-breasted, in worsted wool, linen or cashmere blends depending on season and use.

Jackets

Odd jackets and blazers

Softer construction for the days a full suit is more than the room asks for.

Trousers

Separates

Cut on your pattern. Ordered alongside a jacket, or on their own.

Shirting

Made to measure

Collar, cuff and body cut to fit under the jacket rather than fighting it.

Occasion

Wedding and formal

Planned around a date, with the fitting schedule worked backwards from it.

Appointments

See the cloth in person.

Private consultations take place in Lausanne, where our cloth, measuring and fitting service are based.
