Respectability. Versatility. Longevity.
Our Icons range is a curated collection of confidence-building wardrobe staples that have been part of M.J. Bale for years. Debonair, versatile and classically elegant, their popularity has endured because of timeless style and impeccable craftsmanship never goes out of fashion. If the mark of every well-dressed gentleman is the ability to elevate the basics to an art form, then consider these Icons your masterpieces-in-waiting.
GRACE & GRAVITAS
Saunders Navy Suit
Created in 2010, making it the grandmaster of all M.J. Bale suits, the navy Saunders endures for a reason. Woven in a Super 110s sharkskin cloth in Biella, Italy, from Merino wool grown in New England, NSW, the navy Saunders conveys an understated kind of elegance. It has even been worn as official ‘Number ones’ kit by the Australian Test cricket team and the Wallabies.
CEREMONIAL ARMOUR
Saunders Black Wool Suit
The solemn sibling to the navy Saunders, our black Saunders suit conveys grace and gravitas. It is created from a Super 110s black sharkskin wool cloth that has been woven by Italy’s Vitale Barberis Canonico, and constructed with a half-canvas jacket with notch lapel.
LEISURE CLASS
Robertson Linen-Cotton Suit
Woven in Italy by Tessuti di Sondrio from European Flax-certified linen and cotton, the Robertson suit has been our most popular suit since 2016, after eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt wore it to the spring races. Call the colour sand, cream, bone, off-white, ivory or beige – either way, the Robertson is the leisure seeking Australian man’s tailored staple.
LEISURE CLASS
Eglington Grey Suit
Woven in Italy by Tessuti di Sondrio from European Flax-certified linen and cotton, the Robertson suit has been our most popular suit since 2016, after eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt wore it to the spring races. Call the colour sand, cream, bone, off-white, ivory or beige – either way, the Robertson is the leisure seeking Australian man’s tailored staple.
POLO YOLO
Dickie Polo
Relaxed, understated, and inspired by 1950s Italian summer style, our linen-cotton Dickie knit polo is the antithesis to the ubiquitous traditional polo with front-placket buttons and loud brand logo. Created from ‘slubby’ linen and durable cotton, the Dickie has ribbed cuffs & hem and knitted seams, conveying a more vintage and timeless mojo.
