Wool Fresco Double Breasted Suit

Hackett · £1,000

A navy double-breasted suit in open-weave wool, shown on a model from the front.

Worth being NRY provisional

Fresco is the cloth to know about here: a high-twist open weave, woven in Huddersfield by Dugdale, that lets air through and drops its creases overnight. That makes this the one suit in a British wardrobe that is bearable in August and still reads as tailoring. It is double-breasted, which is a commitment rather than a default, and the horn buttons and flower loop under the lapel are the details that tell you where the £1,000 went.

For
Someone who wears a suit through summer and is tired of a worsted that holds every crease.
Not for
Anyone who wants one suit for everything. Double-breasted is a choice people notice.
