Charcoal Grey With Blue And Silver Pinstripes

No other fabric expresses such composure and dynamism in such a light weight as the plain in wool and mohair, a classic men’s fabric in which Vitale Barberis Canonico has always excelled. South African mohair selected directly at auction in Cape Town is spun in a skilful blend to result in plains in which the weft, black as in the English tradition, adds a touch of energetic nonchalance, but also in decidedly urban stripes or subtle Prince of Wales checks for day or travel wear.

Mohair threads are added to wool to give a very sober lustre to this barathea, making it both fresh and crease resistant. The intense, nocturnal colours add a touch of nonchalance and are simultaneously an expression of composure and dynamism. For evening wear, as a dinner suit par excellence with its unique drape, it is suggested in midnight blue to add a touch of sophisticated distinction.
