Wedding

Wedding suits are planned from the venue backwards. Late sun across a vineyard calls for one cloth, and a harbour terrace after dark calls for another.

The collection

What the photographs keep

The most useful thing to bring to a first appointment is a photograph of the venue. For a daytime ceremony among the vines, the King Street morning suit is cut in solaro, a Super 130s twill woven in two tones. Its grey warms and cools as the afternoon light moves across it.

Cream is less forgiving, since pale cloth shows every fault in a weave. For cream we go to Dormeuil, the house founded in Paris in 1842, whose worsted has a crisp, dry hand and holds a sharp crease. Whatever the cloth, the inside of the jacket can keep something of the day. One couple had their initials and the date of the wedding embroidered inside theirs, and were photographed together in them at golden hour.

We can measure the groomsmen and fathers at the same sitting as the groom. Anyone in another city can take his own measurements from a phone with THDR Pocket Tailor, and the whole order still sits with one stylist. Each suit takes about six weeks to make, and an early start leaves time to reconsider the details, the lining most of all. Wedding consultations, in Redfern or by video, can include the whole party.
