Tailoring for the long lunch

A groom eloping to Tuscany once asked us for a suit in pure linen. We steered him away from it, gently. Two days in a suitcase would have had him ironing in a hotel room, so he married in a linen blend instead. It had the look he was after and came through the flight in good order. Our linen suits are all blends for the same reason.

A blend keeps linen's dry texture and lets the heat out. By evening it has creased lightly at the elbow and behind the knee, where pure linen would have crumpled. The sand brown blend will sit through lunch by the water and stay on for a garden wedding that afternoon. One of our stylists wears the green wool-linen through all twelve months. It is unlined and soft in the shoulder, in a green that belongs to no particular season.

Take the jacket away from its trousers and it sits easily over a popover and chinos. Linen is best judged against the skin, and that is what an appointment is for.
