A windowpane suit = a great way to look like you know what you're doing. This one's made of a fantastic, moody Italian… plainweave. Quiet, at least as far as windowpanes go, but it's got some presence to it. It's made with full canvas construction, which is like the sine qua non of tailoring, and the No. 3 has a special 3-layer canvas that makes it our most structured tailored make. You can almost feel it start to mold to your body as soon as you slip it on. With a 3-roll-2 front and no front darts, the Virgil model feels a little old-school-academic. This particular one has side vents instead of the usual one at the center for some extra mobility and ease. As always, we built it with a soft (read: natural) shoulder… while we always go for an American-Italian blend, the cut of this model leans a bit more stateside than the rest. But just like all of our tailored clothing, it's designed to take you from Mississippi to Milan — and back again — without looking or feeling out of place.
This suit comes unfinished, which means it needs to be tailored before you wear it! The jacket sleeves are unhemmed, without cut buttonholes, so your local tailor can hem them to your perfect length and attach the buttons. (We include eight — four for each sleeve — in the pocket.) The trouser legs are also unfinished and ready to be shortened to your exact inseam with either a cuff or a plain hem. If you’re near one of our stores, our in-house tailors can also take care of this.
