Coral Three Piece Suit

A full three piece in a saturated coral orange, cut from a matte fluid twill with enough weight to hold a crease and enough drape to move. The blazer is softly oversized with a wide notch lapel, a single button closure, jetted hip pockets and a slim welt at the chest, worn open here so the shoulder sits back rather than squared off. Under it, a fitted waistcoat with a deep V neck, four dark horn-look buttons, welt pockets and a pointed hem that cuts across the hip, with a clean halter back that leaves the shoulders bare when the jacket comes off. The trousers are high rise and wide, double pleated at the waist, side seam pockets, running long to a deep turned cuff.

The point of three pieces in one colour is choice. Worn together it's a full tonal look with no break anywhere; taken apart, the waistcoat becomes a top on its own, the trousers work against white or black, and the blazer carries a plain tee. Nothing is branded, printed or patterned — the colour is the entire proposition, and the black buttons are the only contrast in the whole set. Dry clean only. Steam the trousers rather than pressing them so the turn-up keeps its edge, and hang the waistcoat rather than folding it to protect the point at the hem.
