British Tailoring has probably already conjured an image in your mind’s eye. But how did it become such a clearly defined style? Whether we like it or not, modern fashion is a globalised, borderless business, with design often happening in one place, manufacturing in another, using materials from somewhere else entirely. Despite this, old distinctions exist. We probably all have a visual in our minds when an Italian suit is brought up for example, or when the refinement of Parisian fashion is referenced. Standing alongside those two giants is perhaps the one that has the most codified visual language of all; Classic British Tailoring. In our own ranges, we often speak of classic British design and are proud to boast...
The internet is full of style tips that simply aren’t relevant to a lot of people. We’re not advocates of fast fashion, looksmaxing or of telling you what to do here at Cravat Club.

From catwalk to street, style journal to silver screen, soft tailoring is everywhere. But what differentiates the style, and why is it so dominant? Our latest blog post explaijns why it's so dear to our hearts, and how it ties in perfectly with our style philosophy.
With matching patterns available, you may think that a cravat is designed to go with its partnering pocket square. We think that this is a bit of a misconception, and we’d like to make the case for coordinating colours, designs and tone, without directly matching. In most situations, we think it’s the most stylish way to proceed. A cravat and a pocket square go so beautifully together, it can be easy to forget that the effortless outfit you’re aiming for takes work.
