The classic fall suit.

As a stylist, my main focus is quality meets functionality. I seek out local companies in the Vancouver area that, not only design unique clothes, but are also ethically sourced, slow-fashion focused, and are moving toward sustainable fashion, creating reliable products that can last a lifetime. The latest photoshoot I styled centered around the 3-piece suit from Garrison Bespoke. Founded in Toronto, Canada, the company takes both English and Italian traditional craftsmanship and infuses them with a modern twist in their tailoring.

The model, Richard Wong, one of the partners in the Vancouver branch for Garrison Bespoke, recently received this 3-piece bespoke suit just in time for the fall-winter season. I love the look of this slimmed-down modern-take on the classic wool flannel suit, popularized in the mid-1950s. (https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/flannel-guide-fall-fabric/) Made from 90% wool flannel and 10% silk for a softer touch, Garrison sources their fabric from Dormeuil and Vitale Barberis Canonico, both renowned Mills from England, known for their long-standing prestigious quality used by companies like Tom Ford. The wool is heavier than a cotton suit, draping elegantly on the body, creating a sharp armor-like silhouette.

Reminiscing on such a classic suit, we've paired it with a 1960s TR3A Triumph, capturing the essence of the mid-50s- 60s for the modern-day gentleman.
