The Gold Standard Of Navy
There are times dressing is for an expression. But sometimes, we are just looking for a simple answer, and the most straightforward answer is yet the best answer. You just want to lean on a colour or a familiar silhouette you know won’t fail you.
The rise of casual fashion in recent years has redefined workplace wardrobes and daily dressing alike. Unstructured, laid-back styles came to the forefront, offering comfort in uncertain times. We love the occasional drawstring trouser moments, as well as structureless shirt and jackets. But as the pendulum swings back, there’s a growing sentiment that casualness has lost some of its momentum—like a trend that has run its course and left a yearning for something with deeper roots. Especially with tailoring, because tailoring it is, we prefer the resurgence of formality, or might we say retainment: a quiet, deliberate return to garments that not only elevate our presence but pay homage to heritage, craftsmanship, and tradition.
Having honed our craft and vision, straddling between the worlds of formal and casual, formality in our eyes isn't about rigidity or excess; it’s about balance, about pieces that speak to the quality of their construction and the legacy they represent. And nothing embodies this philosophy better than the two navy propositions we bring to this spring season, our indispensable Lazyman Jacket in Navy/Teal Bouclé and the Worsted Wool Navy Herringbone Suit. They are very much the vanguard navy pieces of the house, and here’s a breakdown on why.
The Lazyman Jacket holds a special place in our story. As our first ready-to-wear design, it introduced the world to our vision of modern-day tailoring. Now in its third and likely its final iteration, the Navy/Teal Bouclé version is the culmination of years of refinement. Up till this point, every detail has been perfected to achieve its ideal form. We found the right weaver to do the work, and the right people of the right mentality to fine-tune the colour. The subtle addition of teal yarn introduces a hint of green to the navy like how it has always been, creating a nuanced colour that feels fresh yet familiar—suitably vibrant under daylight yet dark and mature in the dark. With slightly reinforced weave, in special woollen spun technique via the expression of alpaca and mohair which leads to an extremely soft, louché, and fuzzy creation, Designed for the city, the multi-purpose jacket is suitable for all seasons. We are very pleased to be introducing this piece to you again, to have them being a good sport on the back of your office or studio chair.

Navy is a man's best friend, but there are only so many one can own. We made this navy just a little different from your usual ones by adding a single teal yarn to create a slight green cast that combines gracefully with blue. This is the third iteration of our navy Lazyman Jacket, with all details refined, and it is likely to be the final version of its kind. It is a piece with slightly reinforced weave, in special woollen spun technique which leads to an extremely soft, louche, and fuzzy creation. Designed for the city, the multi-purpose jacket is suitable for all seasons.
The Lazyman Jacket is The Anthology's signature product - an unconstructed jacket made for the modern man. This version is designed to be a cardigan-like garment that is an alternative to your work blazer. The product features 3 functional pockets, rollable sleeves and adjustable side tabs at the back. Woven by a specialized mill in Biella, Italy, the fabric offers a unique hairiness that is slightly reminiscent of tweed but with a surprisingly fine cashmere touch, a mix of vintage and urban sartorialism.

Suitable for all smart to casual settings, there is nowhere this pair of trousers can’t take you.
Civilman Trousers are the relaxed versions of your tailored dress trousers. Like a chino, it is at the same time a step-up of the rugged jeans/classic denim. It embodies a modest and courteous image, mostly casual with a hint of dressiness. The cloth is the ultimate highlight. The ecru denim is elevated by subtle dispersed flecks of espresso or black, like vanilla pod in ice cream. It evokes an instinctive raw-looking charm, adding an extra layer of casualness to the garment.
This design is based on the classic five-pocket denim, built-in with curved inset pockets on the sides of the front with a coin pocket (formerly referred to as a watch pocket). The traditionally big patch back pockets are purposely replaced with our signature anchor-shaped flaps. Cut for a mid to high-rise, straight-legged, perfect for tailoring and casualwear. Wear them pressed with the centre crease or without, up to your preference.

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

We are honoured to create this collaboration model crafted by one of the last remaining English shoemakers, the formidable, dependable, failproof Crockett & Jones.
Bodley is a half-strap penny loafer designed with clean, elegant lines, such as the refined butt-stitched apron and an oval cutout.
On a 376 last, it features a modestly short vamp which is casual enough to be paired with jeans, chinos and our Civilman trousers, yet dressy enough to be taken back to more formal settings when a suit is called for. Although based on an iconic C&J shoe last, the heel counter was also modified from its predecessor, the 314 last, to hug tighter around the back of the heel for a better fit, also to accentuate the divine lines of the shoe.
This design is done in black calf, with a single leather sole, Goodyear welted. Box and individual shoe bags included.
Summary:
• UK sizing
• E fitting
• 376 last
