HISTORY
Having been on a long and fruitless search for that 'just right, double breasted, six button,
peak lapel vintage suit, in the correct size and with an agreeable cloth unmolested by moths,
I happened in the company of some interesting fellows in a Moroccan bazaar and through these contacts on my return to London, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the highly reclusive
Chester Cordite.
Mr Cordite is a distinguished and infamous gentleman adventurer with a colourful history of international travels, daring exploits and noble deeds.
Being recognised for his sartorial style, I was lucky enough to be afforded a glance through this gracious gent's wardrobe and old steamer trunks, albeit only for a short time.
Most admirers could only dream to match the ludicrously expensive items in his clothes cabinets, all from the best tailors.
He has, it seems, always had hopes of a much better dressed world and being inspired by this marvelous man and the wonders of his closet, I decided to return my roots in menswear and go about interpreting the signature pieces from his wardrobe.
Many thanks to the inspiration of Mr Chester Cordite.
