Have you ever looked at a nice jacket and wondered to yourself, “Wow, that’s a stunner. I wonder what kind of person owns this?”
Perhaps you’d assume that the owner of this jacket already has a closet full of standard navy suits and is simply building out his wardrobe with patterns, adhering to traditional menswear rules. But you’d be surprised to learn that it’s actually the opposite: he’s never owned a single navy suit —simply because he does not need one (yet). Instead, the guy has consistently chosen distinct designs intentionally built around his specific lifestyle, habits, preferences, and needs. You see, not everybody needs a navy suit. Sometimes, separates just work better for you at your current station in life.

Take this sport coat, for example. It’s proof that when you ditch the standard playbook, you can create something truly exceptional. It is cut from a linen by the good folk at . While most people associate linen with lightweight, easily crumpled beach shirts, Maison Hellard treats the fibre with the gravity and depth of fine winter wools. The result is a texturally rich, beautifully draping Glen check in an earthy brown and tan palette, elevated by a soft green windowpane overcheck. And of course, smoke mother-of-pearl buttons complete the look. Not for the hot and humid outdoors of Singapore perhaps, but then again, let’s be real —who here really wears their jackets outdoors on the regular? Please, lah.

In fashion and textiles, crisp lines and smooth surfaces are historically associated with structure, precision, and formality (think a sharp tuxedo). Linen is a very beautiful fabric for the daytime, but by its very nature relaxes as it takes on body heat and humidity. And when a garment starts to rumple, it can unintentionally signal that you’re in vacation mode. Sometimes, that might not be the best thing to convey at an event that requires respect.

Darren’s suit here, cut from Loro Piana’s Summertime fabric (wool, silk, and linen), might just be the solution. The inclusion of wool provides a natural elasticity and resilience, giving the fabric some recoverability from creasing. Meanwhile, the silk adds a subtle, muted luster that counteracts the raw, rustic texture typical of summer weaves.

The result is a textile that retains the necessary breathability and lightness for warm weather, but holds its shape and structure better than pure linen. It bridges the gap between seasonal comfort and the visual discipline that more serious occasions require.

1/5 We haven’t talked about the In Personam RD Suit at length lately, but it remains a quiet staple in our tailoring repertoire.

2/5 Over the years, it has undergone a few design and fit iterations, but the fundamentals remain: it is at its core an elegant outfit free of design clutter, that hangs with an appropriately relaxed ease. It strikes a thoughtful balance by being neither overly dressy nor too casual. It is highly versatile and works just as well over a mandarin-collared shirt, a crisp regular collar, or even a simple t-shirt because screw it with the shirt ironing, right? (We understand.)

3/5 This particular rendition is cut from a midnight Solbiati Art Du Lin linen fabric, which you might by now have come to know for its very unique suede-like / peach-skin texture, and its high resistance to wrinkling.

4/5 The design is always clean and simple: properly cut and tailored two-piece coat sleeves set into a jacket bodice, with a lower-hanging mandarin collar. Look closer and you will notice we have been incredibly generous with the hand-finishing —it leaves behind the quiet imprint of human touch, giving the garment an organic, lived-in luxury.

Hot weather jacket in a lightweight blend of wool, silk, and linen; minimally-lined with cream Bemberg cupro. Been quite partial to glen plaids and their variants as of late —I think we’ve just been working on too many conservative plain-coloured cloths and this is like a breath of fresh air!

When our racks start looking a bit too heavy on the blue, black, and grey, I know we can always count on Sampson for a splash of colour. And always of the most tasteful variety.

Sampson wears a two-piece aubergine suit in a wool-silk-linen blend from Loro Piana’s Summertime fabric collection. I love this cloth for its visual texture and gentle handle, which is best expressed through a lightweight, soft construction. If you look closer at the haberdashery (buttons, adjusters) you will realise that they are in a shade of rose —I don’t use these very often, preferring to keep them for outfits within this sort of colour palette, for completeness and cohesiveness.

The shirt is in a creamy off-white Oxford-weave cotton (), chosen to temper the harsh contrast of a standard optic white.

All accessories are the model’s own. The guy loves beautiful things, and so do we.

Wearing pure cashmere is like receiving the best hug. But there’s a problem…

☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

Ladies lightweight jacket in 100% Loro Piana cashmere, with matching high-waisted, ultra wide-legged trousers, because extreme luxury = extreme comfort = extreme luxury = very happy ( )

While people often associate cashmere with heavy winter sweaters, its real magic lies in its breathability and temperature regulation.

This lightweight suit in dove grey Loro Piana cashmere is the quintessential transitional piece.

Expertly tailored to feel like a cosy hug on a cool spring morning, this outfit wraps you in soft luxury and reassures you that everything is going to be just fine…

Life-changing. Get one and find out for yourself.

It’s a privilege to dress those in the wedding industry who, having seen it all, decide to choose us when their own big day arrives. And it’s a real treat to then capture the person who is usually busy recording everyone else’s best moments. Salvatore of (fastest sloths to ever exist on the face of the planet, by the way) definitely cleaned up well for the other side of the lens. And I’d like to think we did him justice here.

Salvatore wears a brown linen suit in the iconic Solbiati Art Du Lin. It’s a beautifully weighty fabric with a unique, sueded peach fuzz texture that catches the light just right. While most people go for a soft, unstructured look with linen, Sal went the opposite route. We built this one up with defined, lightly roped shoulders and sharp peak lapels designed to draw the eye from the width of the shoulders down to a narrow waist. It’s a power move in a summer fabric.

Steal this look, and then get it captured. Need help? Better Call Sal. 😉

I recall us trying to get a decent shot of this suit for the better part of an hour. In real life, it has this deep glow or lustre that makes everything else in the room look dull by comparison. But as soon as you pull out a camera, the fabric starts to look different in every shot.

A good mohair blend is restless. It refuses to be defined by a single lighting setup or a static frame. In the morning light, it might look like a sharp, crisp navy, but by the time you’re under the warm glow of a ballroom or bar at night, it shifts into something completely different, almost metallic and much more mysterious. It’s never really the same suit twice. Now, isn’t that something?

Most fabrics are predictable. You know exactly how a standard wool or a heavy flannel is going to behave under a flash. But mohair is temperamental because of how the fibers are actually structured. They are smoother and more glass-like than sheep’s wool, so they react and play with the light they absorb. It gives the garment a sense of life and movement that feels far more substantial than just a pattern or a weave.

In a world where almost everything we buy is optimized to look good on a digital screen, there is something incredibly sincere about a suit that reveals its true character in person, that refuses to be tied down to a JPEG or compressed into a thumbnail. I guess some of the best experiences in life aren’t just meant to be captured —they’re just meant to be lived in.

I really believe our personality comes through in what we wear. Clothing is often the strongest way we extend our sense of self to the world.

This is exactly how I remember these two from our sessions. They were always ever so full of energy, joy, and laughter. They are every bit as bright and authentic as the clothes they’re wearing.

There is a common narrative that every man needs to own a standard navy two-piece suit. It is great sales talk. But, honestly, I’ve never found that to be true (apart during my first two years wandering obsessively in the world of tailored menswear like a fanatic bordering on cosplay)(don’t laugh, you probably did it too)( ). It is much more important to own pieces that actually resonate with who you are and the life you are living. If the traditional uniform doesn’t belong in your wardrobe, drop it.

And I love Jonathan’s choice for this. It is very him, capturing both the ease and the quirkiness of it all. It is fun! (I’ll admit, Julia’s outfit wins the day here but that’s a given because it’s ). We cut a boxy leisure coat from a wool-mohair blend (), which is not common for this style here at In Personam. We usually save this silhouette for softer cloths like linen, but the colour and texture of this fabric were too difficult to resist.

Mohair has such a distinct, natural lustre. In this shade of dark raspberry, the jacket has a real sense of vitality without feeling flighty. Jonathan wears it here with a crisp white mandarin collar shirt and a pair of dark navy pleated wool trousers.

As for Julia’s attire, well, that’s a whole other exciting story over at Sub Rosa.
