Navy Compton Herringbone Cooper Suit

Favourbrook · £980

A navy herringbone unlined suit in a wool and linen mix, shown on a model from the front.

Worth being NRY provisional

Just under half linen, unlined, in a navy herringbone, made in Portugal. Taking the lining out is what makes a summer suit actually a summer suit rather than a lighter version of a winter one, and the wool in the mix is what stops the linen creasing into a rag by lunchtime. The trousers are single-pleated with side adjusters, so there is no belt breaking the line.

For
Someone who needs to look dressed at a June wedding and would rather not be miserable.
Not for
Anyone wanting one suit for the whole year. Unlined in February is a coat problem.

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.
