‘Pitch Black’ Collection
Pitch black doesn’t mean black. It means completely dark - the main colour range and theme we skirt around for our Fall/Winter 23 Collection.
100% Cotton
Bridging the gap between a smart shirt and collarless sweater, the long-sleeved style polo is a piece that combines both elegance and casualness that allows it to be dressed solo or under a tailored jacket.
Made from a Japanese cotton piqué that will prove comfortable all seasons, the fabric is specially finished for a cool, dry hand that naturally wicks moisture, yet with drape and body. Each colour is designed with a considered palette, ensuring to be able to sync with any sport jackets or outerwear pieces.
The style features a carefully sculpted spread collar, with a specially designed v-shaped chest gusset accentuating an open-collar silhouette without the need to lower the chest opening. With meticulously hand-sewn bar tacks, barrel cuffs, and finely finished internal seams throughout, the overall garment is carefully considered and constructed for beautiful ageing, preventing excessive stretching and helping the polo shirts retain their shape and structure over time.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only

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 white. 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.
100% Wool
A flowy and free form bathrobe-like wrap coat that combines a highly durable cloth, drapes gracefully, feels substantial yet agile, expressing a unique flair and drama with the sensibility of casual elegance.
This design is a Balmacaan style, raglan-sleeved, A-line, over-the-knee coat. It features a loose fit, dropped shoulders and a hidden placket that evokes the warm despite relaxed construction of a bathrobe, retaining an overall simplicity and minimality of design. With the inclusion of a belt and exclusion of a vent, once strapped around the waist, it adds shape to its voluminous silhouette, lending the whole affair a generous form, creating what we describe as 'drama'.
The material diverges from the typical shell or gabardine jacket, the usual raincoat type of material. Specially woven for us in a 25/26oz (700gm) British wool cavalry twill that highlights a visually enticing dual-twill feature, the dense weaving construction of the cloth is also naturally hard-wearing whilst water-repellent with no need for artificial coating. Matte and designed in a cool-tone brown, perfect for winter layering with a wide range of colours.

The epitome of what we look for in a pair of trusty winter dress trousers. It is the quintessential piece that offers the perfect drape, colour and texture.
Cloth woven in Huddersfield with a worsted integral structure and woollen finish on the surface, this piece offers a matte and marled look that reminds one of traditional flannel without the disadvantage of losing shape so easily, ensuring trousers look sharp and neat throughout the day. This is a versatile, easy-to-care piece that can go with smart casual wear or seasonal sports jackets.
Designed with single reverse pleats, these dress trousers allow more room to the thigh for extra comfort and action. Equipped with side adjusters for an expressive sartorial look, also for cinching when needed.
Pair this with: almost everything from your personal collection and ours. For a seasonal recommendation, we suggest our shirt in faux black, sports jacket in black corduroy, grey herringbone jacket and shoes by Crockett & Jones for The Anthology.

Breathing new life into black in tailoring, twisting the idea of the colour to enable usage outside of the formal settings while respectfully following tradition. It is why we experiment with corduroy, as the fabrication has historically always been an outlet for creative colours. The only distinction is, instead of going for a bright colour, we go the opposite way for a deep, sunken and light-absorbent black.
Keeping it extremely wearable and versatile, the 12-wale black cotton corduroy offers a defined structure, durable to use, yet softened with a supple, velveted finish on the exterior, fully expressing functionality and elegance with the slightest hint of the avant-garde 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. We’ve also extended the shoulders slightly with our unpadded waterfall shoulder for an extra touch of casual flair.
Complete the set with: Civilman Trousers - Black Corduroy
Product Details:
Fully canvassed and Full lined
6-roll-2 button stance
Peak lapels with single signature handmade buttonhole
Horn buttons
Patch waist pockets with welted chest pocket

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 12-wale black cotton corduroy offers a defined structure, durable to use, yet softened with a supple, velveted finish on the exterior, fully expressing functionality and elegance with the slightest hint of the avant-garde all at once.
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 casual wear. Wear them pressed with the centre crease or without, up to your preference.
Complete the set with: Cotton Corduroy Sport Jacket - Black
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only. Due to the nature of the cloth, a total of 1.5cm length shrinkage may apply from the first few machine washes.

100% Casentino Wool
A hard-wearing design for outing days and frigid weather, this is our take on a short-cutting jacket partially inspired by the historical flight jacket, with juxtapositions of spaciousness and form-fitting illusions through edgy pattern-cutting, forming a comprehensively sculpted form with hints of softness within. Full article about the design here.
Cut straight on the body with a naturally cinched elasticated waistband and sleeve opening, the sprucely gathered puckers give contrasted shaping yet maintain a clean, but not stoic look. The four-pocket arrangement added extra points of interest to the garment. Diagonally and reversely paneled forming a strong X-shaped profile, the sartorial-minded design is heightened by a touch of edginess, looking exceptionally spiffy even as a casual outdoor blouson. Slanted 'warmer' pockets around the upper waist are shielded by an additional layer, with zippers guarding both sides of the chest. All pockets are designed with better security, all thoughtfully angled and concealed to avoid one's personal belongings from falling out.
The blouson is finished with a silver two-way zipper. When zipped up, the body forms a subtle balloon effect like a classic bomber, giving volume to express a masculine look. By releasing the lower zipper, it complements our usual mid-high-rise trousers, achieving that sleek sartorial, tailored look, and creating a distinctive high-low aesthetic.
Fabric is Tuscany’s renowned historical Casentino cloth, enriched with umpteen bobbly, wadded textures, mimicking a fleece jacket in the modern context but more durable and refined. It also has excellent thermal insulation, perfect for outdoor use.
Pair this with:
Pique long-sleeve polo in any colors, such as steel grey, black, or chocolate brown, Raw Chambray Workman shirts in vanilla, or indigo. For Trousers, we highly recommend Civilman Trousers, or dress trousers in deep charcoal, olive, and white/vanilla.
Also available in Lightweight Feathered Grey, Turquoise, Terra Cotta, Dark Teddy, and White Wing

100% Merino Wool
A monochrome colour scheme executed with balanced scale and contrast, this is a timeless design for the modern tailoring wardrobe. This piece honours the classical look for golden-era film lovers to pair with a shirt and a tie. Alternatively, it is suitable to be styled casually for sartorial elegance with a modern twist of avant-garde during off-duty days.
Fabric is woven by a renowned noble mill in Scotland in a mid-weight merino wool, soft with a woollen touch. The piece drapes excellently over a shirt, polo, t-shirt and all kinds of knitwear while equally desirable to be worn under big overcoats.
Our jacket features an unpadded shoulder with our signature lapel buttonhole, with 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.
Pair this with: white Oxford Button-down shirt with charcoal dress trousers, lovat or olive Civilman Trousers for a classic look; black sweater or shirt, with black corduroy Civilman trousers for a more distinctive look.

100% Cashmere
Designed with our modus operandi in mind: comfort is the modern luxury. The use of fabrication for this Lazyman Jacket amalgamates luxury with functionality to its greatest extent.
The Lazyman Jacket is The Anthology’s signature product — an unconstructed jacket made for the modern man. It is designed to be worn just like your normal blazer or sport jacket. The product features 3 functional pockets, rollable sleeves and adjustable side tabs at the back.
This is a deadstock piece curated from the archive of one of the leading cashmere weavers in Yorkshire, also home of the fabled Escorial wool. Apart from the highest quality that makes the allure of the piece, it is also the unique colouring that we find unusual - a deep, pitch-dark brown that is nearly adjacent to black. This divine piece slides off the finger when being handled. We consider this a blanket piece that can drape over the body as a step down of tailoring, in other words, a sport jacket alternative. The overall look is subtle and modest, but the wearing experience is superior. Right up your alley if 'quiet opulence' is your kind of thing, this will be the one.
Pair this with: knitted sweater in black, Pleated trousers inforest green,deep charcoal or any Civilman Trousers.

Sophisticated enough for evenings by its simplicity and slight avant-garde elegance, this deep charcoal shirting is a classic piece with a modern edge.
A design created to pair with black or classic colours, the cloth is woven in a deep charcoal shade akin to black. It pairs perfectly under a knit, jacket or blazer. With its unique colouring aside, the most delectable detail lies in its fabrication. While the befitting cashmere content successfully amplifies the touch and comfort, it is also specially treated to be machine-washable, making this beyond a trophy piece, but equally functional. On a related note, the peripheral use of cashmere does not necessarily add up to the weight, making this a suitable dress shirt to wear all year round.
This design comes with our classic wide spread collar, a clean front, side pleats at the back and hand-cut barrel cuffs, continuing the spirit of high elegance and simplicity.
Pair this with: Civilman Trousers in any colour, double breasted jacket in Black Corduroy, or Lazyman Jacket in Brown Cashmere or Heather Grey Herringbone

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.
