Single Breasted Notch Lapel Suit in Navy Flannel

Cad & The Dandy · £1,200

A deep navy flannel single-breasted suit with a notch lapel, shown on a model from the front.

Worth being NRY provisional

A full floating canvas and a hand-padded lapel, cut to your measurements in a mid-weight navy flannel. The canvas is the part of a jacket nobody sees and the only part that decides whether it still fits the shape of your chest in ten years: it is a layer the wool is stitched to rather than glued to, so it moulds to you instead of resisting you. Flannel is the forgiving winter cloth, soft-handled and warm, and the trouser comes unfinished to be tailored to your leg.

For
Anyone buying a winter suit they intend to own for a decade and have altered as they change.
Not for
Someone who needs it next week. This is a fitting and a wait.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
