Suits need to work harder at this time of year. In the name of making elegance look easy, we’ve developed several collections with inclement weather in mind.

The Sir Stripe collection: English eccentricity

At weights of 280 and 360gm, Sir Stripe’s delicate detailing contrasts with its robust material base. Who said soft couldn’t be strong? Spanning sharp pin- and hazy chalk stripes, the collection takes its foundation palette from timeless blues, greys and blacks; keep an eye out, though, for flashes of pink, purple and red woven in. Eminently English, Sir Stripe exemplifies a balance between eccentricity and irreproachable heritage.

The Tornado collection: Heritage held high

Speaking of heritage, Scabal’s Tornado collection is made at our Yorkshire mill and returns this season refreshed with new designs and colours. Maintaining its distinctly British charm, this year’s collection is nonetheless dipping its toes in waters further afield.

Tornado applies checks and motifs – a modern birdseye and Venetian stripes – to bases of traditional blue, grey, brown and black. Structured grounds and playful weaves mix textural intrigue with business-appropriate sartorial staples; beloved by our tailors for its easy handling, Tornado appeals to experts and contemporary dandies alike.
