The inspiration behind this last masterpiece by Edesim comes from the photo below, picturing a gentleman in his three-piece suit with vest and slanted pockets. In my case, the fabric is a lambswool from the British mill Schofield & Smith (the same mill of many of the suits worn by the renonwned Pierce Brosnan as 007). It weigths nearly 400 grams per metre and has a very soft finishing in comparison to the rougher shetland wool.
The jacket, as every suit by Edesim, is a perfect mix of styles: the natural shoulder without padding is a tribute to the Neapolitan origins of Edesim, whereas the sleeve head with rollino is more French, as well as the side vents cut higher than 30 centimetres. The fuller sleeve “leans” on the fronts, the collar is high and shaped, the buttonhole is long but with no “virgola” (silk thread inside) nor drop and the boat-shaped breast pocket is markedly Neapolitan. The vest too - that I will have shortened a tad - has notch lapels and the trousers are a true masterpiece, falling perfectly on the shoes, with a flawless central crease and reverse double pleats that do not open up.
The double-breasted overcoat is made from a pure cashmere by Harrisons of Edinburgh, with four covered buttons, patch pocket with flaps, back pleat and a two-button “martingala”. To complete the look there is a Donegal unlined tie, a pin collar shirt, cordovan derby and TBD Eyewear glasses.
Bespoke hugs,
