One suit.
More than one look.

Most of these looks pair the jacket from one suit with the trousers from another. We don’t sell separates, so every suit price here is a complete suit — which means each look also leaves you the two matching pieces. Two suits, four outfits.

Cream glen plaid jacket worn with navy trousers and a red v-neck sweater
Look 01

Glen plaid over navy

Pattern on top, plain below — the oldest rule in odd-jacket dressing and the easiest one to get right. The glen plaid reads as a jacket in its own right, so nothing here looks like half a suit.

This look, complete $297
Olive red and blue plaid jacket worn with dark grey trousers and a blue crewneck
Look 02

Loud plaid, quiet trouser

The olive plaid is the boldest cloth in the line, so it gets the most forgiving partner. Dark grey sits back and lets the jacket do the talking.

This look, complete $287
Navy windowpane jacket worn with cream glen plaid trousers and a green tee
Look 03

The same plaid, worn low

The glen plaid from Look 01, this time as the trouser. The navy windowpane reads almost solid from a few feet away, which is what keeps two patterns from arguing.

This look, complete $258
Burgundy jacket worn with olive red and blue plaid trousers and a pale blue tee
Look 04

Burgundy over check

The olive plaid from Look 02, flipped to the bottom half. The burgundy picks up the red line running through the check — close enough to look deliberate, far enough not to match.

This look, complete $288
Light grey blue windowpane double breasted jacket worn with slate blue trousers and a white tee
Look 05

Double-breasted, dressed down

A double-breasted jacket is the hardest piece in the line to orphan and the easiest to wear as a blazer. Slate blue keeps it in the same family without matching it.

This look, complete $308
Brown and blue plaid double breasted jacket worn with deep brown trousers and a light blue polo shirt
Look 06

Brown over brown

The trousers pick the quietest colour out of the check and nothing else. Matching a plaid to the plainest thread running through it is the most reliable way to choose a trouser, and it is why this reads as a jacket rather than half a suit.

This look, complete $288
Light olive houndstooth check jacket worn with a deep brown vest, navy trousers and a gold knit tie
Look 07

Three suits, four outfits

The jacket from one, the vest from another, the trousers from a third. The olive check and the brown are close enough in weight to belong together, and the navy underneath keeps the whole thing from going tonal. Three complete suits go into this, and all three come back out — so this is the fourth outfit, not the only one.

This look, complete $466
We don't sell the knitwear, polos, tees or shoes shown here.

Three garments that happen to match

The Glen Plaid suit appears twice on this page — as the jacket in Look 01, as the trousers in Look 03. The Olive Plaid does the same in Looks 02 and 04, and the Deep Brown turns up as the trousers in Look 06 and as the vest in Look 07. Every suit we make is also an odd jacket, an odd trouser and an odd vest, which is why the second one is worth more than a second outfit.
