Before you ask what the catch is

Eighty-nine dollars buys some things and not others. Here is both halves.

We would rather you knew before you ordered than after. It is also why almost nothing comes back.

What the price buys

  • 01

    A whole suit

    Jacket and trousers — and the waistcoat, on a three piece. Not a jacket with the trousers sold separately.

  • 02

    Colours most shops will not stock

    Forest green, burgundy, rose, ivory. Most shops cannot afford to be wrong about them. We hold them anyway.

  • 03

    Stock on a shelf

    It ships the next working day, not in four weeks. Thirty sizes, held here rather than cut to order.

  • 04

    Thirty days to change your mind

    Return shipping included. No restocking fee, and no questions about why.

What it does not

  • A garment cut to your body

    This is off the rack. Nobody takes twenty-eight measurements at this price, and anyone who says they do is selling you something else.

  • Hand finishing

    No pad stitching done by a person over three days. The construction is machine work, and it is honest machine work.

  • A perfect fit out of the box

    No suit at any price does that. The trousers arrive unhemmed on purpose, because your tailor needs the length.

$40

Spend that at a tailor on the sleeves and the hem.

It will then read as a suit that cost several times more — which is the whole trick, and the reason we would rather sell you the cloth than a story about it.

How to measure

A suit should be built around a person.

We buy in volume, hold the stock ourselves and sell direct. No showroom, no concession, no name on the label anyone is paying extra for. That is the whole of why the price reads the way it does, and we would rather say it plainly than invent a story about it.
