Lapel flower $10. New color: purple
A flower worn in the lapel, also known as a boutonnière, was common—even de rigueuer—until the 1960s. If you don’t have a live flower on hand, wear one of these hand-folded paper flowers instead.

Where are the cashmere scarves made?

The cashmere scarves are made in China, where most of the world's cashmere goats live.

Decades ago Europe may have had a technological advantage in spinning cashmere fiber, but that is no longer the case as the German spinning machines are sold globally.

It is wasteful to ship the fiber to Europe, both in terms of cost to the consumer and the environment, when the entire production process can take place in China. Of course there are low quality goods made in China, but we have always selected the highest quality producers.

I hope you'll find that our history of making high quality wares to be more informative than a simple country of origin statement.

But would it be possible to go to the London shop, get measured (by using the size 36 as a base model), and then place the order online (shipping address UK)? Or something similar in order to get a MTM overcoat to london.

Thanks,

Yes, but only if size 36 is your size.

Kent, great insight. I have purchased your items before and know they are high quality. I will definitely consider one of your scarves.

Any recommendations for a mid blue unstructured casual 3 season suit or odd jacket?

Has anyone commissioned Kent for a hopsack "blazersuit"?? I was considering getting a navy blazersuit in a few months and would love to see pictures of any existing ones. Probably unstructured, half-lined, 3-roll 2, no padding on the shoulder, patch pockets, that sort of thing. Very inspired by @brillopad 's Loro Piana hopsack that he had made (plus pants).

Remmeber, if you dont feel the trial jacket fits, you can order one in a different size to be sure.

[venividivicibj]

That's the new KW jacket? How do you like the standard lapels?

 

[Claghorn]

I'd love a middle ground between standard and wide.

 

[venividivicibj]

I know what you mean. I think I'd do wide notch, or standard peak (peak tends to look wider for some reason).

What is the fabric of this jacket?

 

[New Shoes1]

I'd love a middle ground between standard and wide.

I completely agree. I go with the wide lapels, but would love it if they were slightly more narrow.

 

[CaptainTohm]

The wide lapels are 4 inches, yes?
