Three roll Two suits/jackets have a special place among fans of bespoke and sartorially made suits.
The nice thing about this type of assignment is that it also challenges us and gives us a lot of fun.
When making a retro suit, the traditional method of making, fabrics and the model all play a role that reinforce each other.
The fabric for a 20s / 30s suit: A Wool Flannel 340 gram black and white puppy tooth fabric from Holland & Sherry was chosen. Also called Houndstooth or Pied de Poule fabric. A beautiful fabric for those who want that real vintage retro feeling when wearing, as the fabrics also come from those times and that is a must.
The suit model is a three roll two (3 roll 2) and is the ultimate for the sartorial enthusiast and gentleman. There are many details that exude the Roaring 20's, such as: Rope shoulders, wide lapels (11cm), Barchetta style chest pocket, handmade buttonholes and a haircloth interior.
The waistcoat is a nice addition that can be worn with or without the jacket. Made in the same flannel fabric in a double breasted model with lapels where the back is also made of fabric and of course with a bronzed buckle on the back.
The retro flannel trousers drape very well due to the weight of the fabric and are nice and warm to wear. The tailor-made trousers have buttons to wear with suspenders, buckles on the waistband (side pulls) and a wide waistband of 6 cm in line with the idea of this vintage 3-piece suit.
