Forest green silk blend shawl lapel suit, cut to your exact measurements. Forest green is the grown-up green — dark enough to behave like a neutral, green enough that nobody mistakes it for black. In a silk blend with a shawl collar, it is the suit for the man who wants to look considered rather than loud.

Why forest green

There is a point where green gets so deep it starts working like navy: it goes with everything, it flatters almost everyone, and it never shouts. Forest sits exactly there. Wear it to an autumn or winter wedding, a black tie dinner, an evening reception, or a formal event where you want to look distinct from the row of black jackets without making the choice the story. It photographs richly under warm light and holds its depth after dark.

Why the shawl lapel

The shawl lapel runs in one continuous curve from the collar to the closure — no notch, no peak, no break. It is the original dinner jacket collar, and it does two useful things: it lengthens the line of the chest, and it makes any colour read as evening wear. On a dark green it is particularly good, because the satin facing gives the eye somewhere to catch light on an otherwise deep, matte-looking suit.
