XO Grey Fox

Summer jackets 4: tailored in England from Favourbrook and Susannah Hall, Tailors

Monday, 27 April 2015

The jackets featured today have a more tailored structure than some we have featured this week, giving a slightly squarer, more shaped look than the softer jackets from Richard James, Hardy Amies and Brunello Cucinelli, featured throughout this week. In the latter, the shoulders and chest are unpadded and often unlined too, giving a more casual, Italian style and look.

Something of the difference can be seen in the image above in which I (on the right) am wearing a Hardy Amies jacket (to be featured later this week) of unpadded and soft-shouldered look, while Shaun wears a Favourbrook jacket which is more padded and squarer in chest and shoulders. 

The jackets featured today are from Favourbrook (where they can form part of a suit) and Susannah Hall, Tailors. All are tailored in England (suppliers' details below). They would be more suited for use at a wedding or warm weather business use than more casual styles. Clearly padding and lining will make the jacket warmer to wear, but lightweight cloths, like linen, cotton or fine wool, will alleviate that.

    Great looking gear there. The double-breasted jacket you wear in the first photograph is especially nice.

    Best Regards,

    Heinz-Ulrich von B.
