This fabric is slightly heavier than your average sharkskin... which makes it a tad more sophisticated than what you may picture in your head when you hear “sharkskin suit.” It's still got the trademark stairstep pattern to the weave, which gives a beautifully subtle sheen and sense of movement. Full canvas construction 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. And our Kincaid model has a natural shoulder, a 2-button front, and a shorter, darted body with a little tracing for a fit that's slimmish but never skinny. Style-wise, it leans a little more Italian than the Virgil or the Landry. The trousers are cut in our original plain-front shape to complement the jacket, with a trim-but-not-tight leg that looks great with a cuff. And just like all of our tailored clothing, it's designed to take you from Mississippi to Manhattan to Milan 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.
