solbiati
seersucker suit
The cooling qualities of seersucker were recognised by the British in colonial India, who adopted the use of the fabric in an attempt to cope in the heat of the local climate.
Italian manufacturer, Solbiati, have produced an exceptional version of the fabric, with an element of stretch that makes it perfect fro summer travel - no matter what your mode of transport.
Lance selected the bold navy and white stripe design, cut in his usual double-breasted style, with white mother-of-pearl buttons.

four season suit
The Four Season fabric is the "go anywhere / do anything" cloth.
It can be worn throughout the year and looks as good by night as it does throughout the day.
The cloth is comfortable to wear and holds up well to active use - as illustrated by Lance as he puts his chalkstripe suit through its paces.
