This 2-piece Double-Breasted Blazer Stripe suit is not just a piece of clothing; it is meticulously crafted tailoring, with every detail carefully designed to create an unparalleled look.
The blazer, handmade with a full canvas construction of linen and horsehair, embodies craftsmanship at its best.
Double-Breasted Elegance
The double-breasted design with 4 buttons, as opposed to 6, gives the suit a contemporary and streamlined appearance. The peak lapels, measuring 13 cm in width, add a touch of authority to your look, while the barchetta chest pocket provides a subtle, Italian tailoring touch.
Milanese Handmade Buttonhole
The Milanese handmade buttonhole in a droplet shape is a unique and special detail that attests to exceptional craftsmanship. This handmade element adds a touch of exclusivity to the blazer.
Patch Pockets and Functional Sleeve Buttons
The patch pockets contribute to a relaxed appearance, while the 3 buttons and handmade functional buttonholes on the sleeve testify to attention to detail and finesse.
Double Vent and Special Inner Pocket
The double vent at the back not only adds flair but also ensures ease of movement. The special inner pocket, custom-made for the client's favourite pen, is a personal touch that combines functionality with individuality.
The Trousers
The matching trousers are thoughtfully designed with suspender buttons, side adjusters on the waistband, and French pockets at the front. The slanted cut trouser leg ensures a clean drape without wrinkles, making your legs appear longer.
Worn just below the navel, above the hip, this positioning emphasizes a timeless and classic style that highlights the tailored fit of the suit.
Double-Breasted vs. Single-Breasted
The double-breasted model imparts a more powerful and formal appearance than the single-breasted model. The chest closure adds an extra layer of texture and can create a slimmer waist. It's a choice that exudes authority and style, suitable for formal and semi-formal occasions, while the single-breasted model is often considered more versatile and timeless. The choice between the two depends on personal preference and the desired look.
The Crafting Process
This bespoke craftsmanship requires skill and dedication, with approximately 50 hours of manual labour to bring it to fruition. Every stitch, every button, and every detail is crafted with precision and passion, resulting in a timeless ensemble that withstands the test of time.
