The A Team's Lookbook, Updated
When we opened the doors of La Maison, we shared a space where community gathered, familiar faces reconnected, and new conversations began. The story of that night was as much about the people in the room as it was about the place itself. Now, we turn our lens inward to the team who help shape The Anthology — the stewards of craft, care, and quiet intention who stand behind everything we do.
In anticipation of The Anthology’s spring collection, we’ve launched a mini lookbook inside La Maison’s fitting room. This campaign celebrates the team behind our made-to-measure and bespoke garments, showcasing the dedication, craftsmanship, and expertise that define every piece.
Warmly lit and intimate, the fitting room cradles each garment in soft shadows with a gentle glow that turns each garment into a portrait of poise.
100% merino wool
A timeless rollneck refined through The Anthology’s lens, crafted from extrafine merino wool in a mid-weight, chunkier yarn that straddles between structure and softness. The straight ribbing adds subtle texture and elongates the silhouette, while the smart, abbreviated cut sits neatly at the hip—tailored yet comfortably relaxed.
Versatile in form and function, it pairs effortlessly with both tailoring and casual wear. The yarn is spun in Biella, nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, a region celebrated as the ‘wool capital’.
Pair this with: practically anything in your wardrobe, be it a suit, sport jacket, or Lazyman Jacket. Colour-wise, we suggest black, brown, grey, and khaki. Boots and sneakers are also suitable.
Also available in Delft Blue and Black
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand, flap dry only.
80% Cotton, 20% Wool
Soothing palette crafted in a luxuriously soft blend of cotton and wool, the fabric carries a subtle hopsack texture that feels warm yet featherlight. The off-white steers away from formal, stark white shirting and gives a slightly aged look, bringing warmth to the outfit and greater versatility. It is a shirting piece that weighs heavily on casualness, but at times can also dress up if needs be.
The design features a simple front closure and a chest pocket. The construction is what differentiates it from our other creations. We opted for the softest interlining for collars and cuffs, giving a more pared-down, unfussy aesthetic to make the narrative whole. The wear experience is incomparable. It is an absolute delight to wear against the skin. Very smooth with minimal friction points and a slight woolly feel. Fabrication is still machine-washable.
Pair this with: Flannel Suit Jacket and Flannel Suit Trousers and Flannel Dexter Suit Trousers. Concours Gilet, or Stately Cardigan.

100% Silk
An alternative to traditional folded neckties, the knitted tie offers a slight casual edge, yet features a V-tip and a rare 8cm width to retain the elegant look while standing out from its kind. Woven in a zigzag weave to give motion and the right amount of texture both visually and tactilely when pairing with an outfit, this tie is also styled in a subtly contrasted bi-coloured colour scheme, featuring a unique smokey grey and fume brown. Crafted in Italy.
We are honoured to create this collaboration model crafted by one of the last remaining English shoemakers, the formidable, dependable, failproof Crockett & Jones.
Bloomsbury is an absolute no-fuss, short-vamped tassel loafer. It is an ode to Bloomsbury Group's commitment to exploring new ways of thinking, like how a tassel loafer was born out of artistic curiosities.
On an archival 72 last, the shoe features a short vamp and a soft almond toe, modishly executed with wider joints to achieve a versatile look, also made more comfortable. The style opens doors to both casual and formal styling, instead of a typical long-vamp loafer where strictly formal dressing is preferred.
This design is done in black suede, with single leather sole, Goodyear welted. Box and individual shoe bags included.
Summary:
• UK sizing
• E fitting
• 72 last
• Black suede upper
• Single leather sole

Envisioning country corduroys through the colour of caviar, we capture an ineffable charm in their elusive olive and brown hues, which constantly shift with light and movement. This deep, light-absorbent shade of olive brown is both rich in texture yet versatile to style. The colour conveys urban wear, proven for both day and night, maintaining an aura of elegance and mystery at every moment.
Keeping it extremely wearable and versatile, the 12-wale caviar cotton corduroy offers a defined structure, durable to use, yet softened with a supple, velveted finish on the exterior, fully expressing functionality and elegance all at once.
This design features a 6-roll-2 configuration, slightly more horizontal lapels, subtly angled, signature lapel buttonhole, also higher armholes giving the garment an exceptional range of motion.

100% Wool
A special collaboration with the world-renowned flannel maker Fox Brothers, this cloth was designed exclusively for us.
The suit cloth features an exceptionally subtle shadow chalk stripe—so faint and discreet it reads almost solid from a distance, revealing its depth only when viewed up close. Unlike typical bold striped suiting, it avoids any hint of the mafia or ’80s banker trope. Instead, it channels an era-appropriate, quietly elegant character. By harmoniously blending its two tones, the cloth achieves what we like to call a ‘table-distance’ sophistication: refined, gentle, and deeply considered.
Balancing old-world charm with modern precision, the result is polished yet understated—equally at home in professional settings and elevated occasions. Woven in a classic flannel weight ideal for fall and winter, it provides structure with a soft, velvety drape that speaks to true luxury.
Complete the set with: Flannel Suit Trousers in single-pleated, tapered style or Flannel Dexter Trousers in a flat front, straight leg form.

Fully canvassed and half-lined
3-roll-2 button stance
Notch lapels with single signature handmade buttonhole

For the first time, we’ve let the cut of our trousers be the pièce de résistance, emphasizing form and flow.
These 'leisure trousers' feature a free-flowing silhouette that transitions effortlessly from a straight wide leg to a bootcut, exuding presence and drama. They showcase a soft, unstructured 'Hollywood' waist, offering a moderate high-rise fit that perfectly complements their wide-legged design. Crafted without waistbands and double forward pleats, these trousers sit higher on the waist without restricting comfort, providing a liberating fit.
This flannel is exquisitely woven, featuring a delectable mélange of grey interspersed with warm hints of fawn and soft brown. It combines softness with structural integrity, offering a generous flow and drape that ensures every movement is expressive. The mildly twisted construction underneath helps maintain the shape of the trousers, providing both elegance and durability.
Pair this with: Knitted Sweater in dark camel or cocoa, Sport Jacket in caviar, navy, or Goodman Jacket in camelhair and Wool/Cashmere scarf.
Care tips: Dry clean only
Also available in summer versions

100% Cotton, Japanese Denim
Denim, as one may know, it is woven in some dyed yarns, while some are left white. It results in the creation of appealing irregularities that mean no two pieces are the same.
This piece is a mid-weight Japanese pre-washed denim specifically dedicated to shirting. Woven in a practical weight that ensures one enliven the experience of modern vintage.

Hybrid designs are a common theme in the house’s footwear design. Retaining the excellence of traditional English shoemaking, this is yet another design that pushes the envelope of legendary English-shoemaking house Crockett & Jones. This is our take on a completely unlined dress loafer.
Named after a small coastal town, it comes with the sensibility of relaxation. It has the comfort of a small, quaint town, but a sharp design for the big city. We envision this to be the softest possible shoe for dress use. Made structureless on the upper, it is suitable with tailoring or suits for an elevated look. It is an elegant shoe with a more angular toe box, featuring sharper lines to compensate for its completely unlined structure.
Crafted in luxurious milled calf, a soft calfskin that is comparable to sheepskin, with a buttery soft dark brown surface dressed with natural fine grains with no after-finish. To complement the softness of the design, the overall shoe is completely unlined. Do note this is lasted on a 72 last but due to its unlined structure they carry a sharper profile.
This incredibly soft shoe is yet Goodyear welted, made the old English way. Box and individual shoe bags included.
Summary:
• UK sizing
• E fitting
• 72 last
• Milled calf upper
• Leather SUPERFLEX sole

100% Supima Cotton
An extension to our iconic knitted t-shirt, this is a piece designed with cooler seasons in mind, knitted in long sleeves and heftier yarn. A reinterpreted design inspired by the fishermen's sweaters and vintage sportswear, this is the culmination of contemporary and ‘high vintage’.
The sweater style features a simple design with specific proportions — a higher neck, ribbed sleeve and collar, shorter body and longer ribbed hem. The detail allows the sweater to hug around your trousers’ waistband without going too long or needing to be tucked in, maintaining good overall proportions even when paired with mid to high-rise trousers and sport coats.
This product is made of 6-ply Supima cotton, handpicked and sustainably farmed. (Please read our Ethical Sourcing and Production Statement). Incorporating full knitted construction, this knitwear gives a structured body and shaping, while can still being able to be machine-washed. To enhance the luxurious silken finish and soft hand, the garment has gone through a tumble washing procedure in a final step unique to The Anthology.
Pair this with: practically anything in your wardrobe, be it a Suit, Sport Jacket or Lazyman Jacket. Colour-wise we suggest black, brown, grey and khaki. Boots and sneakers are also suitable.
Also available in 7 other colours.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only.
Born from a boat shoe, a silhouette we are all familiar with, yet also equipped with a mountaineering look and sensibility, this is a hybrid design that is built for everyday use with casual and sartorial wear. Distinguishably more elegant and well-crafted than the mass-produced boat shoe, we retain the soul of traditional English shoemaking excellence through the expertise of Crockett & Jones, resulting in this luxurious everyday moccasin. This pair is equipped with waxed shoelaces and metal eyelets.
On a 391 last, it features a short vamp, purposely designed for casual shoes only. Crafted in exquisitely textured black grain calf, the shoe expresses heavily on texture, adding a lot of visual character to the design and draws a significant distinction from general black calf shoes. To complement the casual profile of the design, the overall shoe is softly-lined, giving a more flexible toe box for better comfort.
Summary:
• UK sizing
• E fitting
• 391 last
• Embossed grain calf upper
• Rubber wedge sole
