Description
Sharkskin is a connoisseur’s cloth, a two-toned worsted wool with a rich sartorial heritage rooted in the mid-century. It is prized for its uniquely smooth hand, its subtle, two-toned lustre, and its exceptional visual texture. To wear a sharkskin suit is to make a statement of sophisticated, vintage-inspired style.
The Architecture of the Vintage Sharkskin Suit
Our interpretation is commissioned in a fine Super 120s’ worsted wool. The jacket is built upon a full, hand-basted canvas front, an unseen architecture that allows the garment to mold to the wearer over time. The trousers are designed with a full skirt-lining in the waistband for a clean, comfortable drape. Every detail, from the hand-carved horn buttons to the final silhouette you define, is executed with precision.
A Personal Commission
The creation of your suit is a collaborative process. Through our customizer, you will define the final silhouette—from a classic tailored fit to a more relaxed interpretation—and specify personal details, such as the inclusion of a ticket pocket. Accommodations, such as a fully extended trouser lining, are naturally part of our bespoke service.
The Bespoke Promise: Your Fitting Canvas
A garment of such textural character demands an unimpeachable fit. Your commission therefore begins with a preliminary fitting suit—a toile—crafted to your initial specifications. This critical step allows for the meticulous refinement of the suit’s balance and line, ensuring the final piece is achieved with absolute precision. The fitting canvas is, of course, yours to retain.
Dry-clean.

Burgundy is having a genuine moment in menswear — runway-validated, worn by men who know the difference between a statement and a mistake. The problem is that almost every burgundy tuxedo available is polyester, and polyester turns burgundy from wine-dark and deliberate into something that reads under event lighting like a costume. Flannel is the fabric that makes the color credible. This mens burgundy flannel tuxedo is made to your measurements in Super 120s wool flannel with a silk satin shawl collar and a canvas front. Before we cut yours, we send a free test tuxedo so the fit is confirmed at home first.
