This 3-piece Flannel Chalk Stripe suit in Wool Cashmere Flannel from Holland & Sherry exudes Dapper and Retro Chic. A delightfully smooth and wearable suit that steals the show as a set but also allows the jacket, trousers, and waistcoat to be worn separately.
The Jacket
The jacket is Full Canvas made with rolling lapels exactly as suits were traditionally crafted by hand in bygone eras. This ensures a natural drape of the fabric and a smoothly wearing, durable jacket.
The 2-button closure and the 9 cm wide peak lapels create a timeless silhouette reminiscent of Dapper Dressing from bygone times. The slanted welt pockets add a touch of casual elegance, while the warm brown buttons provide a subtle contrast against the deep blue chalk stripe fabric. The working buttonholes are handmade, indicating the Tailored Sophistication characteristic of the period from 1910-1930.
Asymmetrical Waistcoat: A Dive into Retro Chic Style
The pièce de résistance of this ensemble is undoubtedly the Asymmetrical Waistcoat, adding a surprising touch of Retro Chic. Inspired by the stylish lines of the roaring 20s, this waistcoat originates from an era where asymmetrical designs and bold details were the norm.
