Suits

A Cousin Jack suit starts with the waistcoat and the trousers, the two pieces that give a classic suit its line. The Midnight three-piece suit adds a single-breasted jacket with peaked lapels to a six-button waistcoat and peg trousers, all in a deep, muted blue. The other sets are waistcoats and trousers in matching colours: add a jacket of your own to any of them for a three-piece suit, or wear them without one as an outfit that works on its own.

Which set for which occasion?

• An autumn or winter wedding: the Midnight three-piece suit, with its waistcoat and peg trousers, or the Maple waistcoat and Maple peg trousers with a jacket of your own.
• Every day: a charcoal, navy or brown twill waistcoat with fishtail back or peg trousers in the same colour. It is the easy-care choice, because the twill trousers can be machine washed at 30 degrees.
• A smarter day: the Revere Waistcoat in navy or brown herringbone with the fishtail back trousers in the same herringbone (navy, brown), all cut from Abraham Moon wool, with a revere collar on the waistcoat.
• A sharper stripe: a navy or brown pinstripe waistcoat with the pinstripe fishtail back trousers or peg trousers in the same colour.
• A day in the country: a check waistcoat with plus fours in the same check: the blue and grey waistcoat with the blue and grey plus fours, or the green waistcoat with the green plus fours.
• A vintage-style wedding or event: any of the sets above, with a shirt (the Casual Spear Collar Shirt takes a tie), a pair of button braces and a Harris Tweed cap.

Why buy the pieces separately?

Because you choose the size of each piece: the twill, check and herringbone waistcoats come in XS to 3XL and the fishtail back trousers in waist sizes 30 to 44, and each other product page lists its own sizes. Our suit separates page explains how to mix and match them, and the size guide will help you get the fit right.
