A Double-Breasted Suit in Mid-Brown Glen Check – Stylish, Refined, and Worn with Confidence
A well-tailored suit is more than a piece of clothing: it’s an extension of the wearer’s personality. In this version, the classic double-breasted silhouette is combined with a richly detailed Mid Brown Glen Check. The result is a suit that stands out through stylish refinement rather than loud statements.
The Fabric: Glen Check in Warm Browns
The chosen fabric originates from England, from the Intercity collection by Holland & Sherry. This collection is known for fabrics with a strong handle and reliable performance, designed for daily use in a professional environment.
This particular cloth is a worsted wool weighing 370 grams per metre, providing a beautiful drape and structure without compromising on comfort. The mid-brown melange base is subtly broken up by a refined Glen Check pattern that adds depth to the ensemble. Ideal for autumn, winter, and early spring.
The Jacket: Peak Lapels and Handwork
The jacket is cut in a double-breasted 6x2 model with peak lapels, creating a strong and balanced silhouette. The lapels are hand-pickstitched for a natural roll and feature a Milanese buttonhole, a subtle yet artisanal detail.
The straight flap pockets reinforce the classical nature of the design, while the construction is fully canvassed – as it should be in true bespoke tailoring.
The Flap Pocket – In or Out?
A subtle but meaningful styling choice lies in how the pocket flaps are worn. Wearing the flap outside the pocket emphasizes the jacket’s traditional character – slightly more formal, as originally intended. Tucking the flap into the pocket, on the other hand, immediately gives the jacket a cleaner, more modern look – almost as if it were made with jetted pockets. This can be especially effective when wearing the jacket separately, with a pair of jeans or chinos, for a more casual appearance. The beauty is: you can vary depending on the occasion.
The Trousers: Classic Finishing, Contemporary Comfort
The trousers feature a fishtail back, a nod to traditional menswear, and are worn with side adjusters with buckles on the waistband – elegant and functional, with no need for a belt. The zip fly keeps the look practical without compromising the classic aesthetic.
Timeless, Yet Never Boring
A Glen Check pattern is a British classic, but in this warm brown tone, the suit gains a more accessible, modern appearance. It radiates confidence while remaining approachable and easy to wear. This version is ideal for those who want their clothing to speak without being over the top.
Why Choose a Double-Breasted Suit?
The double-breasted jacket has a distinctive character. With its overlapping front and sharp peak lapels, it creates a silhouette that communicates strength, elegance, and confidence. Many people still associate this style with formal attire and traditional business suits, but in reality, the double-breasted jacket is surprisingly versatile.
When worn as part of a full suit – as in this case – it’s perfectly suited for formal occasions, presentations, or days when you need to appear particularly polished. But thanks to the right proportions, fit, and fabric, a double-breasted jacket can also be worn as a separate piece – for instance, with dark jeans or chinos – without feeling forced or overdressed.
