For Perspective VI, we turned our attention to the pleasures of autumn and winter dressing. Rich textures, substantial woolens, classic patterns and the opportunity to wear some of the finest British cloths in a variety of ways.
Working primarily with fabrics from Fox Brothers and William Bliss, we put together a series of looks that demonstrate what's possible with our approach to tailoring. From traditional flannel suiting to substantial country tweeds, each piece is made in our house style, with an emphasis on proportion, comfort and the individual preferences of its wearer.
These aren't pieces from a seasonal collection, but examples of what can be commissioned at Tailors' Keep. Some lean into traditional British tailoring, others take inspiration from Italian style or the more relaxed way we dress here in California.
For this journal entry, we're taking a closer look at the individual garments, the cloths behind them and how we chose to wear them.
One of the things we appreciate most about working with Fox Brothers and William Bliss is the range of possibilities their fabrics offer.
A heavy tweed can become a traditional country jacket or something more relaxed to wear with denim. A classic flannel suit can be dressed with a tie or worn with a western shirt. The same cloth can take on an entirely different character depending on the cut, proportions and choices of the person wearing it.
That's the pleasure of making clothes individually. The fabric is the starting point, but what we make from it is determined by the person who will wear it.
As the weather turns cooler, there's no better time to explore the possibilities of British flannel and tweed. Whether you're considering a new suit, a sport coat or something a little less conventional, we invite you to visit us in San Francisco or Palo Alto to see the cloths in person and discuss what we can make for you.
