Lapels & Collars

The detail that changes how a jacket looks more than any other.

Lapel style, width and height set the character of the whole jacket. A wide peak is bold and traditional, a slim notch is quiet and modern. We pick it to suit your build and the occasion rather than defaulting to one house style.
