This Black Twill Linen Suit is a somewhat unusual and non-conformist piece. It uses a light and somewhat informal fabric, Irish linen, to make a black suit, which is perhaps the most formal colour. The style we've presented here is casual, emphasising the less formal characteristics of the linen, but you could also play with the formal black colour and make the suit with roped shoulders.
Linen is a fabric for the summer, it will wrinkle beautifully as plant fibres should. The fabric weighs 320 g/m2 which is light enough to allow air to circulate without being so thin that it becomes see-through. The Twill weave gives the fabric, and the suit, a firmer and more lavish structure than what is typical for suits made from Linen.
The perfect choice for summer parties, this black linen twill suit can be worn in a variety of styles. Wear it with a dark or even black shirt for the coolest look, or opt for a cream or white shirt for a more formal look. The suit also works effortlessly with a nice T-shirt, and the jacket and trousers work well on their own with a pair of heavy khakis or a light knit. Shoe-wise it should either be worn with complementing black dress shoes, or something light contrasting like a tan suede loafer, or another informal light colored shoe of your liking.
The fabric comes from the Baird McNutt mill in Ireland. It is a family business that thrives in the harsh Irish weather and specialises in the production of linen fabrics. The fabrics are woven using traditional methods, and have a low environmental impact, due to sustainable farming practices. To learn more about the mill please visit their website.
