Twill Blazer, Jacket And Moccasins
The latest season's lookbook exhibits the diverse sartorial choices people make across different cities and locales. Even within a single city, every neighbourhood has its own charm that is unique to its own, and from there we find the distinct subculture of dressing. Breaking down a few looks from our latest lookbook, with location as the thematic focal point.
Imagine the 1980s’ Wall Street aesthetic—power suits and commanding presence, representing cut-throat, reckless traders and investment bankers. The iconic striped suits worn by Patrick Bateman and Gordon Gekko remain a beloved source of sartorial inspiration. While striped suits continue to dazzle at evening events or formal occasions, their place in the modern office is less assured. For those in positions of power, it may be perceived as elitist and intimidating; for those lower down the hierarchy, it risks appearing socially unaware and misplaced. Sorry power banker chalk-stripes, as much as we love the way you look, our take is more an Ivy style-inspired look. Think club blazers devoid of elitist and exclusive connotations, celebrated purely for their aesthetic appeal. Crafted from heavyweight twill wool that carries the look of a with a natural stretch, our navy blazer features copper-coloured steel buttons with a distinctive rippled finish, symbolising order amidst chaos.
Cornflower blue shirts from the old days are just a no go to us. An Anthology take on it would be the choice of a denim shirt. It is stronger in colour than a sky blue shirt, the most textured kind of shirt that can still wear with a tie. The pared down choice paired with a classic regimental tie is the perfect high-low.
The full look constitutes the archetypal American uniform, from traditional school attire to Wall Street sophistication. These timeless styles form the backbone of American sartorial tradition. The Polo Coat in camelhair makes a triumphant return. Shoes by Crockett & Jones maintain the heritage of traditional English shoemaking. These Goodyear welted shoes promise enduring quality, and are distinguishably more elegant and well-crafted than the mass-produced boat shoe. Born from the boat shoe, yet infused with mountaineering sensibility, these hybrids are designed for both casual and sartorial contexts.
100% Natural Flex Wool
A weighty four-ply twill jacket with defined indented twills sweeping across the garment, giving distinctive overall textures and tactility. The distinctive ridges draw reference from the look of cavalry twill. It can mimic a formal look, while the on-hand experience draws parallel with a jersey jacket. But do note this is a pure wool garment finished with a unique natural stretch.
This navy piece is designed with the vision of a club blazer but modernized. Equipped with one-of-a-kind ruffled copper steel buttons and a unique cloth combination, this is our version of a club blazer, allowing one to wear casually or formally.
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. We’ve also extended the shoulders slightly with our classic subtly-roped silhouette for a masculine yet elegant and timeless look.

Venturing uptown, the Toffee sport jacket, crafted from the same naturally flexible wool, paired with cosy moleskin Civilman Trousers, forms a perfect ensemble for chilly winter days, with coat as improver when necessary. This look conveys someone who is comfortable in his own skin, prioritising personal comfort rather than to impress others, features quality fabrics in plain, unfussy colours.
This toffee piece is designed with the vision to be a part of neutrals, but different. Made slightly darker in shade in accordance to the fall season, allowing it to pair with both its darker and lighter counterparts ranging from brown to beige, this is a unique standalone piece that makes a casual jacket to enjoy all day throughout various occasions, to pair with traditional tailoring, or to go full casual.
The prominent chest pockets of the Bigman Shirt, a work shirt of ours, worn beneath the jacket, evoke the spirit of the countryman, blending rustic charm with urban resistance.
These simple garments, through their fabric choices, reflect the wearer’s personality and approach to clothing. Heavier moleskin fabric emphasises durability and comfort. While the jacket, though robust in appearance, with strong twills running across, boasts a soft structure like jersey.
100% Cotton
Inspired by midcentury work shirts, this is a big, relaxed shirt that emphasises on a straighter fit, with dual large chest pockets for a true presentation of utilitarian and fundamentalism. With a strong focus on the use of sturdy textiles and double-needle stitching, the reinforced seams provide both durability and a contrasting design detail, making it ideal for heavy-duty use. This versatile work shirt can be comfortably layered over or under other garments.
We continue to explore the diverse possibilities of pure cotton. For this design, we used special nep yarn, resulting in a robust textile with a grainy texture and flecks for tactile and visual interest. This texturised cotton mimics chambray while avoiding the typical workers' blue, offering a masculine yet sophisticated tonal feel. Although it starts with a strong handle, it will soften over time.
Pair this with: Canvas Pleated Wide Trousers in biscuit or white, Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts in navy or any Civilman Trousers.
Also available in ghost grey and white seersucker, Aegean stripes, and off-white

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. Cotton moleskin offers a defined structure, durable to use, yet softened with a supple, napped finish on the exterior, fully expressing how functionality can equip with a luxury feel the same time.
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.
Pair this with: Flanneled Cotton Shirt in navy, Workman Raw Chambray shirt in vanilla or indigo, Sport Jacket in grey herringbone, Ivory, or Fawn Long Sleeve Pique Polo in heather grey, navy, or chocolate brown and Lazyman Jacket in navy/teal bouclé or grey herringbone.

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.

This pair is equipped with waxed shoelaces and metal eyelets.
