A Charcoal Grey Two-Button Jacket With Scarlet Handwork
An exercise in simplicity, this Holland & Sherry Cape Horn Classics charcoal grey two-button three-piece suit pays great attention to small individual details that make a big impression.

A Tweed Overcoat With Raglan Sleeves

Imitation Hunting Jacket, Part II
Before the new year, we showcased the process work of the Breanish Tweed sport jacket. We now present to you the the final production.
Colour Theory: Grey And Purple In Harmony
This week, we have a treat from Holland & Sherry’s Impact collection. We used the exquisite fabric to create a bespoke sport jacket that is sure to turn heads. The plum and grey tones stand out individually as colours of sophistication and splendour. This fabric is part of a wider collection of grey checks with plum. Holland & Sherry describe the fabric stating that “grey is timeless, practical and suggests a balanced mind. People who wear grey are cool, composed and are mediators in all things.”
Hannibal Part III: Blumenkrantz
As seen on Hannibal season two, this bespoke suit was made for Mads Mikkelsen’s character Dr. Lecter. Before the season’s premiere, producer Bryan Fuller had presented a number of fabric options on Twitter as a behind-the-scenes post. Among them, this bold check.
Hannibal Part II: Little Red Riding Revenge
Hannibal fans beware: within this post lurks a few spoilers.
The image of a young woman in a red riding jacket often brings one thing to mind, a ittle girl being tricked by a wolf disguised as their grandmother. The Red Riding Hood story dates back to the 14th century. In the original tale, the wolf serves up the grandmother’s flesh and blood to the little girl, who unwittingly eats it before climbing naked into bed with the wolf.
Hannibal Part I: The Deerstalker
While many would associate Hannibal Lecter with his unusual palette and proclivity towards human suffering, he is also a character of refined taste. The producer of NBC’s Hannibal, Bryan Fuller, has a vision of the character that emphasizes the art of his work, rather than the gruesome. He is a master of the macabre, regal, immaculately dressed and a patron of the arts. He is a composer, a fan of the opera and a master chef. Precision is key in all of it; Hannibal arranges flowers in the chest cavity of a corpse the same way he carefully arranges wagyu beef cubes on fine China plates and the same way he tailors his wardrobe to perfection.
Bespoke In Black Paisley: From British India To Savile Row
From the moment he walked in, we knew this patron would be a little different from the typical groom-to-be. D. is a laid-back man with an immediate sense of what he wants out of bespoke: black paisley. We knew we could immediately turn to Scabal’s ‘Festival’ line for a wool-silk blend that would give just the right amount of pop without being too overwhelming. A bespoke coat in black paisley with solid black trousers outfitted with a braid on the trouser jettings for a bit of visual interest. A matching black bow-tie and crisp white shirt with subtle grey contrasts top off the look. Sleek and suitably black-tie with plenty of character, as expected from true bespoke.
Continuing History: Uncovering Bespoke Traditions
When J.Y came in to pick up his new sport jacket, we hadn’t yet put the buttons on or cut the buttonholes we’d sewn in. Under bespoke-trained hands, buttons take only a moment to sew in while cutting buttonholes takes mere seconds. Once the buttonholes are cut, they cannot be moved or redone, so when a client picks up their jacket, we can ensure that any last minute adjustments can still be made before cutting.
