Trousers arrive unhemmed. Suit sold as a 'set', i.e. jacket and trousers not sold separately.

FEATURES
The Mastumoto Suit is for the sartorial connoisseur, the aficionado who can appreciate the multitude of 'unseen details' that contribute to sublime, hand-finished tailoring. The superfine Merino wool is grown in the New England area of New South Wales, before woven in Italy by the centuries-old Vitale Barberis Canonico. The jacket and trousers are then crafted by our Japanese artisans, who spend over 50 hours sewing and hand-stitching the garment. The jackets are constructed over 200 separate stages of production, which include a full-canvas construction and hand-sewn armholes, collars and cross-stitched buttons. The meticulous craftsmanship creates a suit that fits like a glove and will mould to the form of your body over time. Cared for properly, this is one to pass on to future generations.
