Education

Understand every detail

Select a point on the garment to learn what it does and what you can choose.

Bespoke means a series of decisions, and the decisions are easier when someone explains what each one actually does. This is the same ground a tailor covers with you at the table.

Single-breasted jacket — select a marker to read the detail.

Lapels

The lapel sets the formality of the jacket and the width of your chest. Notch is the business default, peak lifts the eye and adds presence, shawl belongs to evening wear.

Choices offered

  • Notch
  • Peak
  • Shawl
  • Width to suit your frame

Shirt style guide

Collars, cuffs and the rest

A shirt is judged at the collar and the cuff, because those are the parts seen above and below the jacket. These are the choices that matter.

The collar frames your face and is the part of the shirt everyone sees above the jacket.

Classic point

A moderate spread that suits most tie knots and most faces.

Spread

Wider points that balance a broader knot and a fuller face.

Cutaway

The widest opening; sharp with a large knot, less so without a tie.

Button-down

Soft and casual, with enough roll to be worn open.

Wing

Reserved for black tie and formal evening shirts.
