Sartorial Details

Full Canvas Construction

A sartorial jacket - or coat - needs an interlining that will help give it shape and mold it. Canvas gives the item a tailored and crafted look. In short, it breathes life into it. Purely technical, canvas is made from either horsehair, wool, mohair or camel hair. It could also be a mix of them all, with varying thickness and weight. The canvas is stitched to the jacket, often by hand, thus making the canvas pieces 'floating' in the middle of the inner and outer cloth. This gives the jacket added flexibility. The canvas runs from the upper parts, all the way down to the end of the jacket. After you wear your canvassed suit for a while, it will begin to take your shape and look incredibly natural.

Soft Shoulders

Soft Shoulders, or lightly padded shoulder construction, gives a softer, more casual silhouette to a tailored jacket. Soft shoulders have little padding and follow the contour of the individual’s shoulder to accentuate the wearer’s natural features.

Buttonhole

Handmade buttonholes are made using a chain of knotted loops called purl stitches that make them strong and visually distinctive. It takes about five seconds to sew a regular buttonhole with a machine – a single handmade buttonhole takes about 10 minutes to sew.

Two-Button Closure

The jacket has a two-button closure which keeps the profile neat.

Chest pocket - Rounded welt pocket

Also known as ‘barchetta’ Italian for ‘little boat’, it is so named because this pocket floats on the chest gently angled upward, just like the bow of a sailboat. These pockets echo the lively roll of a lapel that carries the spring of canvas and natural wool, unlike machine-made chest pockets that have a more stamped-out, rectangular shape and less life.

Darts

The tailors adds two darts - think of them as pinched seams - to ensure the jacket’s body achieves a slim silhouette. The process, called mezzo punto riprese, is done entirely by hand.

Horn Buttons

Horn buttons are prized for their quality. They are made with the finest genuine horn material, improving the appearance of the suit. And because they are so strong, you don't have to worry about them cracking or breaking.

Patch Pocket

Patch pockets, with their rugged functionality, were unsurprisingly adopted by the military for both shirts and jackets.

the details of

the trousers

Single Pleated Front

Single-pleat trousers are a great mix of style and comfort. They became fashionable in the early 20th century and really took off after World War II. With a single pleat, these trousers offer a bit more room without losing that sharp look. They’re ideal for both formal and semi-formal occasions, providing a classic yet slightly modern appearance. Perfect for professional settings, they offer a comfortable fit while keeping things polished and elegant, balancing tradition with a touch of modern flair.

Belt Loops

Belt loops are the most common type of waistband found on trousers, providing the option to wear a belt for both style and practicality. Typically spaced evenly around the waistband, belt loops are a versatile feature that can accommodate a wide range of belt styles and sizes. This traditional waistband design is found in everything from casual jeans to formal dress pants, making it a timeless and adaptable option for any wardrobe. Belt loops offer the flexibility to customize your look while ensuring a secure fit.

Unhemmed (Raw) Hem

An unhemmed, or raw hem, on dress trousers refers to the unfinished bottom edge, allowing the wearer to have them tailored to their preferred length.
