Linen suits

At Tailor Made London, we believe that every man should own a linen suit. Linen suits are essential for working in a hot climate, in the warm seasons, at special occasions on hot days, and also generally for commuting even when it may be cold outside.

Linen is a very special material, as it is light but durable. The light weight of linen suits means that you won’t sweat on a crowded train (as opposed to the heat retained by a woolen suit) and it’s durability means that it will last you a long time.

Here, at Tailor Made we offer a fabulous range of linen fabrics and linen suits, for all occasions. We use linen by Cerruti, Zegna, Barberis and we also use them in different colours. Light coloured linens, such as beige, complement the type of material. Such colours also reflect the heat, which can work in combination with the breathability of the material to keep you cool. Despite linen creasing more easily than other fabrics, and also requiring regular pressing, the linen used by our tailors at Tailor Made London is thicker and slightly heavier than what our competitors use, which means our linen suits retain their crinkle-free look for longer.

If you’re planning on having or attending a summer wedding, then linen suits will look beautiful and very smart. We would usually advise you to choose a beige colour for your linen suit, as it reflects the heat. Other light colours will also have the same effect, and at Tailor Made London, we have a huge selection of colored linens for linen suits.
