Slim and English

[patrickBOOTH]

Can I have some advice on a label that has the same monochromatic patterns and super slim fit, lapels and such, however with a more English cut such as side-vents and peaked lapels? At first I thought Thome Browne would be the choice, however I have only seen his off the rack suits in kind of dorky school boy, or ultra conservative patterns. Does Duncan Quinn have anything off the rack? Any help?

Spencer Hart or Oz Boateng should be the dirrection you are looking for!

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Great, thanks for the recommendation!

Duncan Quinn has OTR, and sounds like something you'd be into.

Spencer Hart is def the man to go to on the Row for that cut

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Hmm, Duncan Quinn has OTR good to know. I have been looking at Spencer Hart. You are right, he is the man...

paul smith this summer collection is also quite narrow also quite a lot of the other fashion brands too, but spencer hart stuff is nice and he use a great selection of fabrics too, but he aint cheap!

 

[Get Smart]

nope he aint

the latest Menswear has a good saville row primer and Spencer Hart prices are around $2200 for RTW, almost $4000 for MTM, nearly $6000 for bespoke

btw, Duncan Quinn RTW is $2200. I tried a 3 button gray suit of his and it was a great fit....his fabrics used, while nice, weren't as good as I would've expected for that price range.

Fact is, the slim cut with British-like styling (are we entering a Brittanistic period, like the old Hellenistic period?) is quite fashionable, so that looking in high street stores like Banana, Zara and H&M the OP could probably find cheaper approximations of the look than RJ, Ozwald, Spencer et al. If he wants higher quality versions of it, the current Dunheel offerings should be right up his alley for a high price with pretty fair price:quality ratio.

Also Kilgour at Barneys -- it's no longer licensed and is the same as that sold in the UK.

Wait, the one button will have peak lapels? OMG this just keeps getting better

 

[Get Smart]

yep, the one button as slim peak lapels

the peak, + hacking pockets gives the jacket a nice vertical line
