Vintage wedding suits are the ultimate choice for grooms aiming for a relaxed style on their wedding day, often held in intimate settings such as an inn, small hotel, or an industrial-themed venue.
These weddings, sometimes labeled as winter weddings, create a warm and affectionate atmosphere surrounded by friends and family.
What sets these wedding suits apart is not only their timeless charm but also their versatility for continued wear after the wedding. The vintage feel is enhanced by the choice of fabric, and that's why we offer an extensive collection of vintage fabrics, including various types of tweed and flannel.
This ensures you have the perfect fabric to achieve the desired retro look for your wedding.
Our tailored jackets and trousers are often crafted in classic, muted colors with a beautiful texture and body, such as the lambswool herringbone tweed we present here.
This fabric gives the jacket and trousers a rugged, natural appearance that can effortlessly be worn beyond the wedding day. For added flair, some choose to add a waistcoat, often in a livelier color and a more striking design.
In this specific case, we've chosen an ochre yellow tweed for the waistcoat, subtly enhancing the brown and yellow. We're happy to guide you in choosing suitable combination colors. An unexpectedly subtle effect is created by the pink lining of this vintage wedding suit.
The craftsmanship behind this wedding suit emphasizes the skill and dedication to quality.
The jacket, with its single-breasted, soft-shoulder design and 2-button closure, patch pockets exudes timeless elegance.
The trousers, featuring side pullers on the waistband, slant pockets, flap pockets with buttons at the back, a turn-up, and button closure, offer both comfort and style.
The waistcoat, with its single-breasted 5-button design and notch lapel, adds a touch of refinement, complete with a fabric back panel with buckle.
