The ace up your sleeve
It’s a strange experience being a suit. You’re zipped up in solitary confinement most of your life and when you’re occasionally let out, everything’s a massive party. If only they knew.
Thanks to its everyday elegance, the Linen Suit has a much more well-rounded personality. It sees it all - from the first signs of spring right through to the late September sun - and takes everything in its stride. From the inconsequential to the life-defining, while the sun’s shining, these two items will rarely see the inside of a wardrobe.
Far from being a wear-occasionally-when-you-have-to kind of suit, we’ve designed this two-piece in premium French linen to introduce a big dose of sophisticated versatility into your day-to-day.
Blending the sharpness of a suit with the rich texture of linen, it’s the best of both worlds—effortless style with just the right amount of oomph. The art of looking polished without feeling overdressed.
One suit, endless possibilities
Neither too formal nor too laid-back, the Linen Suit has been fine-tuned to bring an understated elegance to your everyday life. Unlike most summer suits that only see the light of day for weddings or big events, this one is made to be worn—and worn often.
Sure, it’ll shine on special occasions, but it’s just as at home on a day off, at dinner, on holiday or indeed at the office.
More than anything, it’s the fabric that makes it such a wardrobe chameleon. The natural texture of linen adds depth and vibrancy, subtly steering it away from that stiff, corporate feel.
Essentially, it’s a case of having your cake and eating it too: sharp tailoring with a rich texture, elegance with a relaxed edge and sophisticated but extremely versatile. In short, it hits the sweet spot.
As if that weren’t enough, you can mix and match to stretch your wardrobe even further. If the occasion doesn’t call for a full suit, rest the jacket and let the trousers do the… well, walking.
Likewise, the jacket pairs effortlessly with jeans or chinos, making it one of those rare items that can handle whatever your day throws at it. Maybe not joggers. Even linen has its limits.
Available to preorder from Tuesday in time for summer
If you don’t want to miss out, drop your email below, and we’ll remind you on the day.
Delivery is set for mid-June, just in time for the (very) warm weather.
Price-wise, the jacket will be available for 259€ and the matching trousers for 139€. No need to grab a calculator—that’s 398€ for the full two-piece.
For a half-canvassed suit in pure French linen, made in Europe, that’s a steal. Especially when you realise you’re getting a three-in-one piece that works just as well as a full suit or separates.
If you miss the launch, you might find them in a stock sale later, but prices will jump to 339€ and 179€ to allow for inventory costs. Still a fair deal, but not quite as sweet obviously.
Now that you know the details, we’ll give you a few days to mull it over before the big day next Tuesday. And of course, we’re here if you have any questions.

Take care, and see you Tuesday,
