“Fabric is the most extraordinary thing; it has life. You must respect the fabric.”
- Hubert de Givenchy
Quality begins long before the first cut is made into a bolt of your chosen fabric; it is not simply a set of processes and constructions, but rather it is a mindset underlying how and why every element of your suit is chosen and artfully crafted. For our clients, the fabric selection process is the most exciting and important decision in their custom suiting journey.
In order to provide the very best experience in making that decision, we made it our mission to curate the finest selection of suiting wools the world had to offer. As we began to build the relationships with the most renowned names in suiting—Loro Piana, Zegna, Vitale Barberis, Dormeuil, Reda, Drago…the list goes on— we began to learn exactly why the quality and reputation of these heritage mills precedes them, and developed a profound respect for their craft.
By choosing to offer selections from these mills, we made a reciprocal commitment to ensure that the quality of our clothing was worthy of their label. Cutting corners on a suit that bears the Loro Piana name is hypocritical at best and disrespectful at worst, so we made a promise to ourselves that nothing less than world-class custom suiting would suffice. All of that is to say: you can expect your suit to be built commensurate with the very same care and detail as these renowned mills put into their fabrics.
