Vest Buttons

4

The lowered V-shape in the front of this vest makes it less visible beneath a jacket.

5

The V-shape where the front of the vest comes together sits higher on the chest, making this vest more visible under a jacket.

Vest Back

Black (Standard)

Black lining fabric on the back panel of your vest is a classic look.

Match Inner Lining

The back panel uses the same material as your jacket inner lining selection.

Match Exterior Fabric

For those who want the exterior back of their jacket to match their jacket fabric for a more seamless look when worn without a jacket.

Extra Pair of Pants

We Recommend

Pants get more wear and tear than jackets so if you wear your suits on a regular rotation, it is recommended that you have an extra pair of pants for each suit. Save $29 off retail price for a pair of standalone pants in this fabric when you add an extra pair to your order using this option.

No

Yes (+$300.00)

Pick Stitching

We Recommend

Pick stitching is a detail that signals quality and custom craftsmanship. The subtle stitching follows the edge of lapels, collars and jacket flaps creating a bit of depth, particularly useful on solid color suits. The pick stitching thread is the same color as the suit fabric chosen. This option is recommended for those who are keen on adding a subtle but stylish detail.

Yes

None

Ticket Pockets

We Recommend

None

Flapped

A staple of classic British suiting. Pairs better if you selected flapped pockets.

Piped

A staple of classic British suiting. Pairs better if you selected piped pockets. Not recommended for tuxedos and formalwear.

Accent Stitching - Boutonniere

We Recommend

Matching the color of the boutonniere buttonhole stitching to your selection of inner lining color. Not recommended for jackets worn in conservative contexts.

Pant Back Pockets

We Recommend

Two (Standard)

Two back pockets are a balanced and standard option.

One on Right

If you don’t use your back pockets or prefer a minimalist look, go with one back pocket on either side or no back pockets.

One on Left

If you don’t use your back pockets or prefer a minimalist look, go with one back pocket on either side or no back pockets.

None

A true minimalist look if back pockets don’t spark joy for you.

Belt Loops

We Recommend

Yes

Belt loops are a tried and true option.

No - with Side Tabs

Go without belt loops for a sleeker look that mimics formalwear. Not recommended for pants worn in conservative contexts where belts are expected.

The Context

<p>Vitale Barberis Canonico, the world’s oldest mill and the makers of the cloth used in this suit, ships wool in from just a handful of regions of Australia where specially selected sheep give the only wool worthy of being made into this fine Italian suiting fabrics like this. When the master weavers set out to create this dark gray sharkskin, they imbued it with a bit of luster by design.</p> <p>But this fabric doesn’t just look elegant, it performs. The 2-ply sharkskin weave of this fabric gives it impressive bounce to resist wrinkles and an ever so slight bit of texture. Its subtle sheen and the impeccable drape from the Super 150s yarn combine to turn this fabric into a masterpiece of suiting. Built for the boardroom, made for the man who knows how to get there, this dark gray sharkskin is an enduring classic.</p>
