Its appearance will be a “significant step in international expansion” for the 11-year-old family business, as the brand unveils its AW26 collection to international press and buyers across 13-16 January.
Director James Cathcart said: “Exhibiting at Pitti Uomo for the first time is a pivotal step for the brand and the market equally. Our goal has always been to excite, offering rare designs with honesty and integrity. Pitti is the ideal stage to present our classic British style to a new global audience.”
The AW26 collection will showcase eight distinct styles of tailored suit jackets all crafted from pure wool including flannel, worsted multi-stripe, and herringbone, headlined by the popular King Cole Double Breasted Jacket.
These are complemented by six styles of matching pure wool trousers, arriving in wide, classic and narrow heritage cuts. The collection is completed by double breasted and single breasted waistcoats, offered in four versatile colourways.
It also features six distinct knitwear styles, including the return of Fair Isle Jumper, Jazz Jumper and other original vintage inspired knits hand produced in England.
The workwear collection sees the return of the Deck Jacket and Battle Trousers, both made from 100% cotton corduroy, “offering a balance of sophisticated tailoring and versatile daily utility for the modern man”.
The outerwear range completes the collection, featuring three classic British heritage coat styles. These include a new Herringbone Ulster Coat crafted from luxury herringbone wool woven in Yorkshire, alongside returning favourites, the Polo Coat and the Mackinaw.
