The full canvas construction ensures durability and shape retention, while the soft shoulder creates a comfortable and stylish silhouette. The hand-pickstitched rolling lapels, 8.5 cm wide, exude refinement without being overly formal — perfect for a lawyer who sees clothing as an extension of their professionalism.

Notable details:

  • Two straight welt pockets

  • Hand stitched buttonholes with a subtle purple accent on the sleeve as a personal detail

  • Buttons made from synthetic resin with brown marbling and gray accents

The Zuidas Lawyer: Practical and Professional


This suit is designed for a lawyer who interacts daily with both clients and colleagues. In an office where the dress code is not always formal, this bespoke suit offers the perfect balance between style and professionalism.

The suit serves as a sign of respect for older or international clients, especially during important meetings and client visits. At the same time, the basket weave structure is ideal for more casual settings, such as lunch or informal consultations.

Versatility and Understated Luxury


The strength of this suit lies in its versatility. It can be worn for formal meetings but also paired with a light sweater for a more casual look. The basket weave adds just the right amount of texture and visual depth without being overwhelming. A well-made suit draws attention to the wearer, and this is how you recognize true craftsmanship.
