Exceptional Fabrics for Exceptional Men
At the heart of every piece in this collection lies the fabric Solaro Super 130 which is the season’s signature cloth: a tightly woven, reversible wool beloved by Savile Row and Neapolitan tailors alike, prized for its extraordinary versatility and its warm luminosity under natural light. Its structured weight holds a clean silhouette throughout the day, making it the ideal choice for the man who moves from boardroom to evening without compromise.
Alongside Solaro, the SS26 collection introduces refined blends of wool, silk and cotton, fabrics that breathe with the body, drape with aristocratic ease, and reward the eye with a subtle, understated sheen. These are cloths that do not announce themselves loudly; they simply confirm, quietly, that their wearer knows.
Colours Drawn from Nature
The SS26 palette speaks the language of the earth.
Natural tones from warm ivory and stone to camel, sand, warm taupe and deep tobacco form the backbone of the collection. These are not neutral colours in the passive sense; they are confident, grounded, distinguished. Worn with the right cut, a beige Solaro suit commands a room as certainly as any black tie. The collection’s essential counterpoint is navy blue: that most civilised and enduring of hues, rendered here in both pure wool and the silk-cotton blend for a depth of tone that varies beautifully with the light.
The Cut: Structure Without Severity
Every suit in this collection is built around a rigorous silhouette: a structured shoulder, a clean chest, a trouser with a full break that references the golden age of tailoring. This is not a collection for oversized casualness or for the unfinished, raw-hemmed aesthetic of recent seasons. Here, formality is embraced and elevated.
Single-breasted two-button jackets in the classic English drape. Double-breasted six-button models for the man who favours authority. Slim-cut trousers with side adjusters. Each variant is offered in the season’s key fabrics and colours.
Complete Your Look: Shirts & Accessories
A suit of this calibre demands accompaniments of equal quality. Formal shirts in the SS26 range are crafted from Egyptian cotton and fil-à-fil weaves: slim-fit and classic-fit, with spread collars and semi-spread options suited to both ties and open necklines. White, pale blue, pale grey and ecru form the core palette. Accessories complete the picture: silk ties in tonal and contrast colours, linen pocket squares with hand-rolled edges, leather belts and braces in tan and dark brown, and cufflinks in brushed gold and silver. Every detail considered. Nothing superfluous.

Frequently Asked Questions: Men’s Suits SS26
What is Solaro fabric?
Solaro is a reversible twill wool, traditionally woven with a tan or brick-red underside. It was the fabric of choice for British officers in tropical climates in the early 20th century, and has since become a cornerstone of Neapolitan and Anglo-Italian tailoring. In the SS26 collection it is offered in Super 130 grade, an exceptionally fine wool count that combines weight with softness.
How should I care for a wool-silk-cotton suit?
We recommend dry cleaning for all structured garments. Between wearings, hang on a wide, shaped shoulder and allow the fabric to breathe. Avoid storing in plastic. A light steaming is sufficient to release creases after travel.
Is the SS26 collection available in extended sizes?
The collection is offered in sizes 44 to 58 EU (34 to 48 UK/US). Selected styles are available in short, regular and long fits. Made-to-measure is available for all fabrics.
