Stylish & Modest
A Unique Two-Piece Suit for the Best Man
As the master of ceremonies and best man, our client’s role at his sister’s wedding carries a special significance. He wanted to stand out tastefully, stylish and elegant, but without drawing attention away from the groom. This bespoke suit was designed with that intention in mind: a suit that would support him throughout the day and perfectly align with the relaxed, natural theme of an autumn wedding.
Stylish and Modest: A Suit That Balances Style and Respect
In his role as best man, this suit serves as a gesture of respect and connection with the couple. He wanted to make an impression in a way that conveys elegance, blending with the guests and the tone of the day without being overpowering. The subtle brown and green tones in the fabric align seamlessly with the colors and theme of autumn, while the British country style character of the cloth adds a touch of classic, enduring style.
A Jacket Full of Personal Details
The jacket is crafted with an unstructured interior and a full canvas construction, giving it a natural, comfortable fit perfect for the entire day. The 8 cm notch lapel, two-button closure, and straight flapped pockets offer a refined, understated look. The four kissing buttons on the sleeves, with the final buttonhole stitched in burgundy red for a personal touch, subtly highlight the best man’s unique style. This handcrafted detail ensures that the jacket remains special and unique without being ostentatious. Click here to have a look at more personal details.
Practical and Elegant Trousers for the Best Man
For his role as best man, the trousers had to be both functional and elegant. The side adjusters and buttons for suspenders provide a practical, stylish solution, while the straight legs and stitched-closed back pockets maintain a neat, tailored look that will stay sharp throughout the day. The buttoned closure and use of Corozo buttons (made from the tagua nut) give the trousers a natural, sustainable finish.
A Fabric Full of History and Character: Bateman Ogden’s Town & Country
The choice of fabric is essential for this occasion. In this case a two-tone cloth from Bateman Ogden’s Town & Country Collection: a blend of brown and green that captures the best of English style. This sustainable fabric with a subtle country house aesthetic makes the suit not only stylish for the day itself but also perfect for future wear, potentially as separates.
Finishing Touches for a Complete Look
To enhance the natural look of the suit, the choice was made for an ivory-colored shirt from Albini. The shirt forms a seamless transition to the brown tones of the jacket and trousers without overpowering the bride’s white dress. The Bemberg satin lining with brown and green accents in the jacket adds a subtle, luxurious touch, reinforcing the best man’s refined style.
Why Choose Bespoke Tailoring?
As the best man, you want to make a lasting impression while honoring the couple. A bespoke suit is the sustainable choice that ensures a perfect fit, a personalized look, and the versatility to continue wearing the suit after the wedding. The decision to go for bespoke tailoring is for these reasons: quality, attention to detail, and durability. A suit like this is perfect for the role of best man — elegant, versatile, and with a timeless appeal that reflects the significance of the day.
