One of the oldest bespoke tailoring companies in the world, Gieves & Hawkes has proven that devotion and love for detail will result in a decent, sharp-suit for you to invest in. Since their foundation in 1771 the Savile Row tailor has created innumerable ready-to-wear as well as bespoke outfits that are exquisitely formed, sleek and stylish.
Covering all aspects of the colour palette, Gieves & Hawkes are innovative in their design and styling but stay traditional in their construction and assembly.
A glimpse of their spring/summer 2014 collection has just been released showcasing more colour variations including pastel shades of pink, blue and grey Chequered designs feature heavily as well as lightweight fabrics such as linen.
For now though, let’s focus on the Autumn/Winter 2013 collection; richly textured country tailoring together with sophisticated monochromatic city wear. Traditional British tweed and flannel suiting has been re-invented to suit the modern urban gentleman. This collection is Jason Basmajia’s first seasonal collection for the brand. He has presented a capsule collection of premium garments designed to bridge the gap between ready to wear and bespoke clothing. Re-imagining the ethos of Savile Row for a contemporary man, the limited edition ‘Gentleman’s wardrobe’ of luxurious British tailoring, shirting and elegant weekend wear is fully hand-crafted in England and Scotland.
‘This is a wardrobe that is traditional in spirit, yet modern and graphic in design. Inspired by our bespoke cutters, everything is British-made and truly hand crafted as an expression of understated, timeless elegance’ says Jason Basmajian.
Gieves & Hawkes serves as the global HQ of a British luxury brand dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. If you want a decent suit, head to No 1.
Quintessentially British, Gieves & Hawkes stay true to their roots and leaving the element of innovation to accessories and colours. In 2013, traditional cuts and finest fabrics still have the power to convince us all along the line. In a year’s time, when the collection will be worn on the summer streets, a Gieves & Hawkes suit will undoubtlessly be one of those suits that gets you noticed. In a good way.
The capsule collection will be sold exclusively at Number 1 Savile Row from September 2013.
