·Engineered Fit

The garment isengineered around you.

Engineered Fit is how we make your clothes: we measure you, cut a pattern for your body, and fit it on you until it's right.

IThe fit

Not every 42 is the same 42.

A size is a number. Fit is the shoulder, the posture and the way a man moves.

The shoulder changes the whole garment.

Few men have two level shoulders. When one sits lower, a standard jacket sags on that side. We cut that shoulder lower, and the sleeve opening with it.

IITwo services

Made to measure, or made from scratch.

Both are personal. They differ in how the pattern is made, how much handwork goes in and how many fittings it takes.

VIThe cloth

Premium fabrics, selected for how you live.

The cloth comes from mills across the world, from Italian linen to Japanese selvedge. We narrow it down to the few that suit where you will wear it, at home or abroad, your working day and the occasion in front of you.

Your trial is cut in the cloth you chose. At your fitting you judge the real garment, in the real cloth, before it is finished.
