Ladies Choice: Purple Sport Coat
This week’s piece belongs to the wife of a longtime patron. Her husband has been commissioning pieces from us for many years but when his wife had an upcoming event, she decided to commission a piece of her very own: a purple sport coat.
A Byzantium Brocade Dinner Jacket
Our Byzantium brocade dinner jacket with metallic dark grey silk edging and turn back cuffs is moody piece of evening wear. The fabric used to make this jacket is from the Holland & Sherry’s Black Tie Elite collection. The brocade is beautifully executed with silver threads in the warp with darker variegated tones of silver and black non-structural weft threads holding the warp threads together to create the appearance of a raised embroidered fabric that is luxurious in nature.
Cherry Blossom Wedding Dress, Part I
As bridal season is comes to a close, we’ve been blessed with a very special patron to create for. M commissioned her husband’s suit for their impending nuptials while also setting about creating a dress with meaningful qualities for their special and very intimate occasion.
Festival Of Lights
We were asked to make a jacket, part of a 3 piece ensemble, to celebrate the Hindu Festival of Lights, Diwali.
Old Friends And New Patrons

Elementary
One of our loyal customers is on the trail of the perfect Ulster coat to complete his collection.
The Case of the Fifth Coat.
Seeking a modern take on the classic design, the clues were everywhere and led to a coat made of a robust 25 oz, 3/4 in Grey Herringbone wool, by Dugdale Bros & Co. of Huddersfield, Yorkshire, makers of fine cloth since 1896.
Winter Armour
This coat, made of a heavy wool from Drapers of Italy fits the bill down to the smallest detail.
Swelled machined stitched edges for durability grace the pockets, which are lined in Vitale Barberis Flannel for additional warmth.
The collar is made sturdy, so you can pop in up on those windy days.
Inside, green Kasha lining as a reminder:
Winter is Here, but Spring is Coming.
An Iridescent Suit By Vienna
In the years 2012 and 2013, a trend of holographic apparel and accessories seemed to make waves among teeny boppers and young trend setters. Though the multicoloured chrome palette didn’t pick up among men’s clothing, it did transform into the iridescent trend we see among all forms of fashion today.
A Royal Suit For A Modern Classic Man
We met this fine example of a classic gentleman through a longtime acquaintance and theologian, with whom in the past, Trend has made Francescan and Benedictan cassocks and liturgical vestments for. This young man is a solid representative of a new breed of gentleman who are versed in dressing and Classic Man culture. For his first Trend piece, this young man chose a 12Oz Prince of Wales check with a light powder blue window pane over checking.
