Wesley

"Wesley", a suit in cotton moleskin, finished with a garment wash. Moleskin is a densely woven cotton with a brushed, raised surface. A soft hand reminiscent of suede, a muted sheen, and enough body to keep the wind out. A cloth used, for example, in French work jackets and English country clothing. Rugged, yet well-proportioned. Less formal than a wool suit, less casual than a cotton setup. We chose moleskin to sit squarely between the two. After sewing, each piece is washed and tumble-dried. The cloth tightens slightly and loses its new stiffness, leaving a soft, lived-in hand. The finishing press is applied only to the collar and lapels. The body and sleeves are only steamed, so the character of the wash remains. On the jacket, the shoulders and armholes are sewn with open seams, with no stitching visible on the face. The collar and front edges, by contrast, carry topstitching that sharpens the outline. A welt pocket at the chest, flap pockets at the hips. Mitered cuffs with 3 buttons. A center vent at the back. Fully lined, so it slips on easily despite the brushed cloth. The trousers have no belt loops. The waist is set with side adjusters. A classic detail, carried over. A 50 mm tape also runs around the inside of the waistband to hold its shape. No center crease, and a plain hem. The soft roundness of the brushed cloth falls straight along the leg. Sewn by a tailored-clothing specialist factory in Aomori. With the garment wash in mind, seam allowances and stitching are specified part by part. Available in 2 colors, brown and beige. Jacket and trousers are delivered together as a set. A suit for everyday autumn and winter, as at home with a tie as it is when the jacket is worn on its own. 174 cm / 75 kg, wearing size 50 Jacket 44 46 48 50 Body length 71 72 73 74 Shoulder width 44 45 46 47 Chest 106 110 114 118 Sleeve length 58 59 60 61 Trousers 44 46 48 50 Waist 82 85 88 91 Hip 106 109 112 115 Rise 25 25.5 26 26.5 Inseam 76 76 76 76 Leg opening 20.8 21.3 21.8 22.3 Shell: 100% cotton Lining: 100% polyester Made in Japan
