Ivory DB three-piece outfit

S140 wool, milled by Dugdale Bros & Co., with a fine texture and a natural, ivory appearance. The shirt is made from 100% linen, milled by Albini, with mother-of-pearl buttons. The jacket includes two outer pockets with wide flaps. The trousers are fitted with two side pockets and two back pockets. All edges are finished with AMF stitching.

A custom-cut jacket, with 13-centimetre peak lapels, a double-breasted closure with ivory mother-of-pearl buttons, and two back vents. The sleeves finish with a cuff. The trousers are cut from the same cloth, with an extendable waistband and 4.5-centimetre turn-ups at the hem. The linen shirt provides excellent ventilation.

The jacket has an ivory cupro lining, breathable and wear-resistant, with a silky hand. It has four interior pockets, one for a pen and one for business cards. The trousers feature clean, snag-free seams, a rubberised grip strip on the inside of the waistband, and an after-dinner split, for a slight loosening after a hearty meal.

This outfit is well suited to daytime weddings, garden parties or outdoor corporate events. It is equally fitting for a civil wedding held in the warmer months. Its formal yet airy cut also recommends it for evening receptions with a summer feel.

For long-lasting wear, our recommendation is professional dry cleaning of the jacket and trousers. Both should be stored in a fabric garment bag, and the jacket, in particular, on a wide, cedar wood hanger, to prevent the shoulders from losing their shape. For the shirt, we recommend gentle washing at 30°C or dry cleaning, dried flat to prevent stretching, and steam-ironed while the fabric is still slightly damp.
