The stripe as a detail in men’s clothing comes with a certain amount of baggage.
In suiting, the pinstripe will always evoke a formal caché thanks to its inalienable link with the uniform of the banker and the industrialist. At the other end of the sartorial scale however, the Hickory Stripe is the tried and tested preserve of the working man, its detailing denoting a toughness and durability; qualities expected both of the cloth and the man donning it.
For the summer suiting in our SS21 ‘Hidden Treasures’ ready-to-wear collection we have selected a cloth that toys with both ideas, solidifying our playful approach to formality and informality throughout the whole range.
