The Navy Senator
For: Any occasion where you want to be correct and comfortable at once
Navy is the default, and defaults are only boring when they are badly cut. Straight through the body with no waist suppression, this is the most comfortable formal thing you can own.
- Colour
- Midnight navy
- Cloth
- Matte wool, half-lined, straight body with deep vents
- Cut
- Tunic to mid-seat
- Detail
- Plain placket, welt chest pocket
Indicative UK market range: £400–£850
On your frame
- Broad / muscular — Soft shoulder, high armhole, and let the vents open properly when you sit.
- Tall and lean — Lengthen the body and add weight at the trouser hem.
- Compact — Shorten the body to the top of the seat and raise the rise.
- Fuller figure — Straight body, no waist seam, straight trouser — this is the cut for you.
What to do next
If this is the shape you want, tell me the occasion and date and I will point you at the right house for it.
Tell me the occasion, the date and your budget bracket. Within 24 hours you get back: two or three houses I would actually approach and why those and not others, the alterations to insist on for your build, a realistic timeline for your date, and a short written brief you can hand to the tailor at the first fitting.
- No fee, no commission, nothing sold here.
- If nobody I trust fits your date or budget, I say so.
- Read by me, answered by me.
