Le Kensington – Navy Prince of Wales check

Suit in Super 120’s wool, navy Prince of Wales check

The Prince of Wales check in navy, more discreet than in grey. The pattern only reveals itself up close: a subtle detail that makes a change from a more classic plain navy.

The cut: Fitted English cut, two-button jacket. Slanted pockets with a small ticket pocket, working buttonholes on the cuffs, topstitching on the lapels and pockets.

The cloth: 270 g Super 120’s wool, woven by Vitale Barberis Canonico in the Biella region. Fine enough for a handsome lustre, hard-wearing enough to hold its shape day after day. A light weight, pleasant all year round.

The trousers: Single pleat, side adjusters and a button fly, as English tradition requires. Slanted pockets, two jetted back pockets.

Optional: The six-button single-breasted waistcoat, for the three-piece version.

The model: 1.86 m, 77 kg, athletic build. He wears a size 50.
