Worsted Wool
Made from long, combed fibers, worsted wool is crisp, smooth, and durable. It holds its shape, resists creasing, and brings clarity to sharp tailoring—making it a foundation fabric in any well-dressed man's wardrobe.
Velvet
With its rich pile and unmistakable softness, velvet commands attention. Once a royal fabric, it now finds its place in eveningwear and statement tailoring. Ideal for adding depth and drama to modern ensembles.
Sharkskin
This polished, two-tone weave delivers a sleek finish with just the right touch of sheen. Often found in formal suits, sharkskin fabric adds refinement and a hint of boldness to the discerning wardrobe
Tropical Wool
Engineered for warmer climates, tropical wool uses an open weave that allows air to circulate while maintaining structure. Lightweight and breathable, it’s an excellent choice for tailored looks in high temperatures.
Seersucker
Woven with a natural puckering effect, seersucker lifts off the skin for better airflow—making it a go-to for summer tailoring. Its texture delivers both comfort and charm, whether in classic stripes or fresh solids
Satin
Smooth and luminous, satin stands apart with its glossy surface and graceful drape. Most often used for evening shirting or statement linings, it elevates garments with subtle luxury and occasion-ready finish.
Linen
Linen is a natural fabric made from the fibers of the flax plant. It’s one of the oldest textiles in the world, prized for its breathability, lightness, and crisp texturer.
Jacquard
Jacquard is a type of fabric distinguished by its woven-in patterns, rather than prints or surface embroidery. The name comes from the Jacquard loom, invented in the early 19th century, which allowed complex designs to be woven directly into the cloth.
Glen Plaid
A staple in the pattern lexicon, Glen plaid blends fine checks with a bold overcheck to create visual harmony. Popularized by royals and reinvented for modern tailoring, it bridges tradition and individuality with ease
Houndstooth
A graphic mix of light and dark, houndstooth stands out for its jagged checks and dynamic pattern. Whether bold or subtle, it adds character to jackets, suits, and coats without compromising elegance.
Flannel
Soft to the touch and rich in tradition, flannel is synonymous with cold-weather tailoring. Originally made from carded wool, it’s brushed to achieve its iconic nap—a plush finish that insulates while draping beautifully
