Men's Twill Classic Suit and Tie
Brand:
Thom Browne
Description:
Distinctly American and impeccably crafted, the Thom Browne men’s twill classic suit and tie revolutionized menswear with its authentic aesthetic. The cornerstone of the luxury fashion brand, the “shrunken” gray suit features thin lapels, wide cuffs, and sleeves and trouser legs that end well before they reach the wrists and ankles. Adorned with red-white-and-blue striped grosgrain accents, a reference to the ribbons on the sports medal necklaces Browne earned as a young competitive swimmer, the suit is made from Super 120s wool twill in “medium gray,” a purposefully mundane shade that emphasizes a uniform, simple base that highlights its unique tailoring. Once synonymous with conformity and anonymity, the gray suit has transformed through Browne’s design into a recognizable and revolutionary garment worn by everyone from David Bowie to LeBron James to the members of boygenius.
A singular vision that reflects the essence of a national style, the Thom Browne men’s twill classic suit and tie has influenced countless American lifestyle brands such as J. Crew and Gap, while reshaping the culture and redefining contemporary fashion. By refining and refreshing the concept of the gray suit, Browne built an influential brand and altered the perception of a wardrobe staple. “Now we accept it as being absolutely part of the fashion vocabulary,” says Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue. “He completely changed the way we see.”
