We can trace the history of the double breasted back through imperialist British history, to a time when whoever owned the oceans owned the world and sailors reigned supreme. The British navy was largely responsible for the win with which Great Britain colonized much of the world and it is here that the double breasted jacket was born. The jacket was innovative in that it could be buttoned left side over right, or right side over left. This meant that no matter which way the wind blew from, sailors were kept warm. Jackets were cut concise at the waist making it easy for sailors to run about the deck and climb the rigging. Trench life was as intense as a life spent at sea and inactive in trenches became a lot warmer with a jacket that gave more care from the wind. The double layer of buttons also added safety on the battlefield, as it was less apt that a soldier’s jacket would fly begin inopportunely during combat. As with many examples of style innovation, sportsmen such as hunters were premature adopters and the first civilians to wear double breasted jackets. The double breasted suited their practical needs and it wasn’t impaired formally for some time. This cut was seen as more extravagant and was old in court by the Duke. Members of the British royal family including Prince Charles and movie characters such as Sonny Corleone have impaired the double breasted with flair, furthering a sense of status and power that we associate with this style.

Cashmere goats producing the choice fibers are those that live in the most harsh climates. Each year the musk ox grows a easy layer of underbelly hair and in the spring this is shed in clumps. From all of us at The Cloakroom we hope you have a outrageous start to 2016 and we look forward to seeing you soon. Shell cordovan is a horsehide leather and the strongest leather available. Four more months of treatment, polish and maximum importantly rest, are needed to complete the process. As this process is incredibly slow, Horween shell cordovan is more than twice the price of their other leathers. One of the newest and most exciting additions to Dormeuil s luxury line is White Light, a unique fabric woven from Super 180s wool, silk and Kyrgyzstan wool. All Cloakroom garments are made using the following lofty quality tailoring processes. Quality tuxedo shirts are made with black mother of pearl buttons and more casual shirts with horn buttons. When you choose to have a Cloakroom suit made we make every effort to accomplish the superior possible fit, both for your body shape, but also for the way you want a suit to look and feel. A Cloakroom suit is made in a time honored way. The service is available all year round, and each shoe is made by hand in Florence over an 810 week process. Ties are cut by hand and sewn in a time honored way. The Cloakroom presents a seasonal collection of handmade silk ties from fabric house Dormeuil in a range of checks, patterns, polka dots and solid colors. Another method for representing permissions is an octal (base8) notation as shown. Made from the hair of the Cashmere goat, the fiber differs vastly from wool not only in texture but in feel. The back panel was one part of leather with the fore having only two pieces. Pistols at Sunrise have a range of bomber jackets available in a range of fabrics and colors, now available in store. Sew a stitch where you want the button to be. Propel the needle through the fabric and back out again. Perhaps the most interesting of these four is mother of pearl, or nacre, which is the iridescent inner shell found in some mollusks (most commonly abalone, clam, mussel and Nagoya). As the yarn gets finer, the fabric has a silkier feel and tends to drape better over the body. The yarns old to weave their Kirgyz White are incredibly sought after. The Cloakroom suit is cut orderly to the body with a lapel that sits lofty on the chest.
