Don’t get the wrong impression, here. This is not your typical dad’s suiting store. Instead of a stuffy atmosphere, you’ll get blow-up posters of suited young men frolicking with women, and art deco–esque decor throughout—the kind of aesthetic touches typical of the cheeky Dutch brand (that’s exploding with popularity of late). The mannequins are exquisitely merchandised; so much so that you can actually look at the display and confidently agree that you would wear everything on it from head to toe.
There is a plethora of well-crafted pieces to choose from. Ready to wear suiting can start at a low $499 for a surprisingly stand-out piece like the Lazio, tailored in a slim, modern cut with a two-button jacket and light shoulder padding. Higher-end suits, like the La Spalla, can reach upward to $1,069 — its luxurious wool and cashmere combination make it worth the price.
The selection of colours—from French and Copenhagen blue to heather grey, to your traditional navy and brown—are juxtaposed against eye-catching pinstripe and check patterns. Suits are also lined with a thin layer of horsehair-reinforced cotton, which conforms to your body’s shape, ensuring the sleek look that is so sought after in today’s market.
To complete the outfit, slim cut dress shirts with club collars and bowties made of more relaxed linens and peacocked paterns ensure no detail is missed when you’re putting together your look for a night on the town.
