The Navy Blazer & Tweed Jacket: Two Bespoke Essentials

Every gentleman's wardrobe should contain a handful of timeless garments that never fall out of favour. In this short discussion, Head Cutter Tom Mahon and Apprentice Cutter Olivia Eplett take a closer look at two bespoke commissions which we believe represent true wardrobe essentials: a classic double-breasted navy blazer and a versatile checked tweed sports coat. The first is a bespoke double-breasted blazer, cut from Fox Brothers serge and finished with traditional basket-weave buttons from Benson & Clegg. Whilst Fox Brothers are perhaps best known for their famous flannels, their serge cloths deserve equal recognition. Elegant, durable and endlessly adaptable, a navy blazer remains one of the most useful garments a gentleman can own. The second is a bespoke sports coat made from a handsome Lovat tweed. The subtle check brings character without sacrificing versatility, allowing it to be worn equally well with cavalry twill trousers, flannels, denim or even our own corduroy trousers. Together, these two coats demonstrate how a thoughtfully built wardrobe can provide decades of service, offering a gentleman countless combinations for business, travel, social occasions and everyday wear. Both coats are paired with Redmayne silk ties, handmade in England using silk woven by Stephen Walters, Britain's oldest silk weaving mill.
