One of my favourites: Holland & Sherry Crispaire




Above, is a recent suit commission for one of my customers. I particularly like the color of the suit which is Navy Blue. I've noticed lately theres been a resurgence in suits made up in the color blue. This is good news as I was getting bored with the extra attention that grey was getting, particularly in light of that popular book that all the women seemed to be obsessed with.

The Fabric is a pure wool by Holland & Sherry, from their Crispaire bunch book. This is a fabric that is suitable all year round, particularly in the warmer climates of a place like Australia. The fabric drapes nicely and is has a nice open weave which lets the air in. 

You can see more of these fabrics at the following Tumblr Page.

THE MAN IN THE GREY FLANNEL SUIT


The Man in The Grey Flannel Suit.
Gregory Peck starred in the movie about the American man who searches for purpose in a business dominated world.
The grey flannel suit used to be the unofficial business uniform that characterised the conservative 1950s.

It is unfortunate that the peacock revolution came along and destroyed those good American Values.

Its time to get back to the roots of classic conservatism.

Grey sounds dull on its own. But paired with a crisp white shirt and black tie, you can transcend the dull.
