Description

Yes, it’s another blue suit. But for good reason! 

Because this one has a trick up its sleeve. In suiting, “sharkskin” generally refers to a weave designed to reflect light, which gives the fabric more lustre and a distinctive sheen as you move. The result is a blue suit that looks clean and classic at first glance, but catches the light in a way a flatter weave doesn’t.

The Foundation fabric is a durable wool blend with a substantial, structured feel built for regular wear. The twill construction gives it resilience and helps the suit maintain its shape, while the lustre adds a more polished finish without turning the fabric into something overly flashy.

Another blue suit? Technically, yes. A little more interesting? Also yes.

Care Instructions

To keep your custom suit looking its best, we recommend dry cleaning only when absolutely necessary. Over-cleaning can wear down the natural fibers and canvassing. Instead, spot clean as needed, use a steamer to release wrinkles, and let your suit rest between wears. When cleaning is required, ask your cleaner for a gentle press and light steam. With proper care, your suit will maintain its shape, drape, and sharp appearance for years to come.
