Tailcoat, Waistcoat, and Trousers
Tailcoat, Waistcoat, and Trousers
Likely my most challenging project to date, this white tie and tails ensemble is a bespoke garment cut and assembled as it would have been during the late 19th century. The suit is 100% black wool Bariahea, with silk trim and lapel facings. Although the sewing machine was invented and became available mid-way through the century, tailors still included a great deal of hand work in their garments, a habit which has been adhered to in the making of these garments as well. Modelled by Sammy Newman.
