As the world of business goes increasingly niche, so does business wear.

Now we increasingly think of our clothes as distinct


pieces rather than as a part of a conventional, harmonious whole: the possibility for self expression in design, pattern and fabric
takes us to a different realm together. Bringing back the idea that it’s the norm for men to dress to get attention at work, to celebrate
beauty. And to do it with utter disregard to century-old rules.
O N E A S Y S T R E E T
Men with great style have never dressed head-to-toe
in a uniform look. It’s all about discovering that one
stand-out element with a curatorial eye. Little things
that can transform a look from tatty to natty in no time.

Vintage Addict: A long, double-breasted, 100% woolen


jacket with a slant pocket. Paired with ankle-length, slim-fit
trousers and a button-down shirt.
T W I S T E D T I E S
Here’s how to be on the right side of style history: Try on fashion personas
like the rest of the world tries on socks. Be a crazier version of yourself.
THE MOMENT OF ARRIVAL
A new formula for stylishness is emerging
this year. Give your solid suits a rest for a
while and sport a chequered look. Simple,
streamlined and perfectly crafted. That’s
the bill you sign up for.

Square Deal: (Left) A double-breasted overcoat with patch


pocket and sleeve epaulette details, paired with a two-piece,
single-breasted, classic notch lapel suit with slim-fit, cropped
trousers and an Egyptian Giza cotton button down collar shirt.

(Right) A double-breasted, peak lapel overcoat with slanted front


pocket details, paired with a two-piece pin-striped navy suit, slim-fit
trousers and a semi-cutaway collar shirt.
MAKING YOUR MOVE
A dash of styling prowess can turn a nice guy into a bonafide
style icon in no time. Because for all of your global nomad
street cred, you still need to nail it at work.

Men on the Move: (Left) A two-piece, classic black woolen suit


with slim-fit, cropped trousers and a half cutaway shirt.

(Centre) A woolen, two-piece double-breasted, classic peak lapel suit


with ankle-length, slim-fit trousers and a full-cutaway shirt.

(Right) A nano-protected, three-piece, single breasted, slim-fit woolen


suit with a V-neck waistcoat and a full-cutaway shirt.

T H E F U T U R E O F S T Y L E

Our revolutionary nano technology fabric is going to make living far more
sophisticated. Anything, oil or liquids, splashed or spilled upon the fabric will
simply bead off, like dew drops on a leaf. This same technology will make bad
odours and bacteria extinct making the fabric a lot more breathable and
crease-resistant. Sounds amazing? Wait till you try it
B E H O L D T H E EYE Q U EU E
Just back from Davos? Perhaps there’s time for
a quick breakfast before you brainstorm on
ways to improve the world. After all, it doesn’t
take a business leader to know that navy helps
you schmooze like a winner.

Stay Dapper: (Left) A six-button, classic peak-lapel, two-piece


suit made from Italian fabric with slim-fit, checked trousers and a
half-cutaway shirt.

Checkmate: (Right) A two-piece business suit paired with a


notch-lapel waistcoat and a half-cutaway shirt.
A TWEAKED TAKE ON REALITY
You live in a parallel universe just a street off
the ordinary. What do you tell yourself when
you wake up in the morning? How do you pull
together that statement suit? A cool, bohemian
look you make your own even in the most
dress-code obsessed offices. We’ll never know.
Or will we?
“Business is the combination of war and sport.”
- Andre Maurois

Captivatingly Clairvoyant: A two-piece, single-breasted, classic business suit layered with a V-neck waistcoat.
M A V E R I C K A T W O R K
When the world thinks of office wear, a staid suit comes
to mind. But who wants to be most men? If you really
want to sport the look without sacrificing any bragging
rights, fall for something that’s both refined and
buzzworthy. No hashtags, please.

Clean Slate: A three-piece, single-breasted, Italian fabric


suit with a notch lapel waistcoat paired with slim-fit checked
trousers and a half cutaway shirt.
ROCKING THE RETRO
It’s said that the best things are those that stand the test of time. That said,
there’s nothing like an original tweak in the formula to renew an interest in
an old flame. Sometimes, even a floral-accented tie speaks stanzas.
Seamless Anomaly: (Left) A two-piece,
single-breasted, 100% wool suit, with ankle length,
checked trousers and a half-cutaway shirt.

Dust in the Wind: (Right) A three-piece, notch


lapel flannel suit with a V-neck waistcoat paired
with ankle-length, slim-fit, checked trousers and a
half-cutaway shirt
MADE FOR THE BOARDROOM AND THE BAR
It isn’t easy to get amped up without being overdone. It’s not simple
to stay safe without being stuffy. But you know how to precisely build
your look by layering a fine suit with that timeless quirky appeal.
Don’t leave. Stay a while, won’t you?

Timeless Appeal: An elegant two-piece, single-breasted, shawl lapel


suit with ankle-length, slim-fit trousers and a round-collar shirt.
SHOULD BLACK-TIE SOCKS BE BLACK?
Should cufflinks state that the funk has sunk? You, Sir, can keep
ripping up the rule book while impressing traffic officers and
distracting lady drivers. Oh well.

THE REGAL
REPERTOIRE
FALL/WINTER ‘17
Revelling in the extravagance of the Maharajas of yore, our Fall/Winter ’17 collection pulls out all the stops. It’s a collection that
transforms luxury into a necessity, and elegant decadence into an art form: Whether it’s in the rich brocade fabric of a sherwani, the
finely textured weave of a suit lapel or the alluring gleam of a pair of cufflinks.

It’s the sense of poetry flowing through the veins of a changing world – one that embraces a grander life. And the effect is neither
subtle nor loud – it’s just the quiet confidence of a man who shuns common taste and forges his own path.

In that spirit, our Fall-Winter ‘17 regal menswear collection features timeless ensembles that impeccably merge the occasion and
your state of mind. A meeting of classic elegance and a contemporary aesthetic. There’s only one caveat though: Looking dapper in
moments like these isn’t a choice anymore.
THE RIGHTFUL HEIR TO THE SARTORIAL THRONE

It’s one of those big nights and you have to take your pick: Easy or sophisticated.
Better still, don’t choose at all. We have a range of elegant outfits for formal occasions and ceremonies.
Whether you’re pushing the boat out for an embellished ensemble or one tailored from
exquisite fabric, you won’t have to lift a needle.

The Ensembles
(Left) Elegant Pearl: A regal French jacquard, long bandhgala
paired with slim-fit trousers.

(Centre) Floral Enigma: Benarasi silk jacquard long


bandhgala with slim-fit trousers.

(Right) Whimsical Whites: An open-neck, long Benarasi silk


bandhgala with slim-fit trousers.
W E A R YO U R H E R I TA G E

There’s a certain old-world charm to the ensembles featured here


that even the best-tailored tuxedo cannot match. And well, sometimes,
it pays to ditch the uniform.

The Ensembles
(Left) A Legacy: An open-neck, silk jacquard bandhgala
with woolen jodhpuri trousers.

(Right) An embroidered, silk bandhgala paired


with linen trousers.
A BOLT FROM T HE BLU E

sure the occasion is lit. Just stay elegant while being true to the rebel in you.
Ideal for aspiring cads, rakes and bon vivants.

The Ensemble
Tales in Turquoise: A six-button, Benarasi brocade bandhgala
with slim-fit trousers.
The S he r wa ni
Those who fancy that the age of chivalry and gracious living is a
thing of the past will do well to slip into an immaculately tailored Sherwani.
Known otherwise as the suit of a Prince.
TOO SUAV E F OR THE O CC ASION

We all want the same things. A private island


with a resident butler. A better, more beautiful world.
A wardrobe that instantly makes us look princely.

The Ensemble
Pr i n ce ly A ffa ir: D o b by woole n lo ng
B a n d h g a la wit h ve lve t co lla r, p a ire d w it h

RETHINKING THE BLACK TIE
Theoretically, everyone should look their absolute best at a
formal do. But too often, it’s a sea of ill-fitting suits out there.
We don’t mean you have to turn on the flash.
Just bring your sense of heritage along.

The Ensembles
The Stately Bandhgalas: (Left) Six button velvet cross
bandhgala with wool blend trousers. (Centre) Ten button velvet cross
bandhgala with wool blend trousers. (Right) Sleeveless Nehru jacket

the big ceremony virtues: Purity, renewal and a streak of rebellion.

The Ensemble
Nocturnal Mystery: Two-piece, French jacquard tuxedo
with satin lapel and a tux shirt.
S T R E NG T H E N I NG T I E S

A statement scarf and a tie can be a warm burst of colour in a cold, dark time. You could,
of course, google ‘How to wear a tie’ but we’d recommend a bit of personal sass.
T H E R E LU C TA N T R O YA L

In an ensemble so regal, your fashion sensibility


will be anything but subtle.

The Ensembles
The Secret Garden: (Left) An eight-button, velvet bandhgala with
floral motifs paired with slim-fit royal blue trousers.

(Right) An eight-button velvet and jacquard bandhgala paired


with slim-fit royal blue trousers.
Floral jacquards
Jacquard takes its name from the Frenchman Joseph Marie Jacquard
who, in 1801, invented a mechanical loom that could be programmed to weave rich,
intricate patterns into cloth. True to tradition, our floral jacquard collection helps
a gentleman of style to sweep up the best-dressed award at every party.
NOT MAKING A CEREMONY OF IT
There’s no easier way to score those seriously seventies
vibes than by slipping into a contemporary jacquard
jacket. And just like that you’re after-hours ready.

The Ensemble
Ethnic Infusion: An eight-button
French jacquard bandhgala paired with slim-fit,
wool-rich trousers.
A N O D E T O G O O D T A S T E

Accessories like these are preferably handed down by your great grandfather - but just in case you sport an independent streak,
our Fall/Winter ’17 collection provides a fine range that could put any antique aficianado to shame.
W H E R E C R A F T M E E T S S C I E N C E
CHANNELING YOUR INNER MONARCH
When life gets a bit monotonous, as it usually does, this display
of stately flamboyance is a thing of beauty.

guests will be swooning or batting their eyelids at you. Be safe. Or don’t.
NOT ANOTHER PENGUIN IN A SUIT

After all, women have been doing it for years.

The Ensemble
A Decadent Past: A silk, embroidered
ten-button bandhgala paired with 100% cotton
cream trousers.
SAY IT WITH FLOWERS

Take a refreshing break from the rise of


minimalism that’s prevailed on the fashion scene.
It will be hard to call the look subtle, much
easier to call it stately.

The Ensemble
Floral Profusion: An eight-button silk
bandhgala with embroidered motifs, paired with
slim-fit, wool-rich trousers.
MIDNIGHT BLUE IS THE NEW BLACK

No longer is black the colour of choice for dinner jackets. This is the shade
of the times. One that strikes terror in an average guy’s heart.

The Ensemble
Midnight Hues: An eight-button woolen bandhgala
embellished with enamel metal buttons;
and slim fit trousers.
A great pair of formal shoes signal that you appreciate craftsmanship and
sartorial flair - and perhaps more importantly, that you haven’t
succumbed to the casual-ification of shoes.
The Bandhgala
When you draw inspiration from exotic cultures and
historical periods and you craft a chic, contemporary ensemble,
our elegant Bandhgala collection is what you get.
S H A D E S O F E N V Y

There’s no green that makes a statement like emerald green. It’s deep,
vibrant and mysterious. Not unlike its first cousin: Midnight Blue. And those paparazzi
shots don’t really hurt either.

The Ensembles
(Left) Emerald Enigma: An eight-button, velvet bandhgala
paired with wool-rich jodhpuri trousers.

(Right) Midnight Sun: A six-button, regal blue velvet bandhgala

like the winter sun.

jodhpuri trousers and a mandarin collar shirt.

Here’s a fool-proof attire to looking your sharpest, wherever you
end up in the party circuit.

The Ensemble
A Regal Life: A six-button, sleeveless Banarasi silk
brocade bandhgala with slim-fit trousers and a mandarin collar shirt.
WHE N IN DOU BT, WE AR RE D

If the ensemble you’re wearing to an awards after-party or fundraiser fits in


at a funeral or a job interview, then you’re doing it all wrong. Rock the venue with this red-on-black
traditional jacket. Try not to upstage the guest of honour though.

The Ensembles
Red and Royal: Six-button, French jacquard bandi paired with
slim-fit trousers and a mandarin collar shirt.
LIVE THE DOUBLE LIFE

This fall, we take a trip back in time with the retro look of
the seventies. Witness the return of the double-breasted suit: slimmer,
shorter, hipper and with twice the swagger.

The Ensemble
Retro Rendezvous: An off-white, pure wool, double-breasted
tuxedo suit with metal button details.
LO O S E N T HE BL A CK T I E
Leave it to our Fall/Winter ‘17 collection to show the rest of the
world how to stick to a black-tie dress code and yet stand out in the crowd.

The Ensemble
Noir Nirvana: A velvet single-breasted, one-button
suit with wool-rich trousers.
The Tuxedo
Tuxes are typically black, but they don’t have to be.
If you’re a man of the world, you know this: In a world full of trends,
you need to own a classic.
FOR THE STYLISHLY INCLINED

An irreverent collection of tux jackets is crashing this year’s party season.


The colours are a throwback to a rather rakish Hollywood style but have a streamlined
silhouette. Enough to turn any guy who wears it into a leading man.

The Ensembles
Smoking Tuxedos: (Right) A single-breasted velvet tuxedo jacket
paired with polywool tuxedo trousers.

(Left) A two-button, shawl collar tuxedo jacket with


polywool tuxedo trousers.
ON BOWING OU T OF THE BORING

Accessories have left their stodgy reputation this season. Come on over, borrow some sartorial fearlessness from our collection of
bow-ties and scarves and rock the post-ceremony celebrations with a look that is anything but pious.
A N A FFA I R W I T H S I L K

Wearing a dark, moody colour – accented with vintage silhouettes – instead


of traditional black is an age-old style swerve that can keep you from
blending in: especially at that swanky office party.

The Ensembles
(Left) Silk Affair: A single-breasted, silk tuxedo with a
half-cutaway tux shirt.

(Right) Stardom: A silk jacquard bandhgala with


exquisite pocket details.

Our Fall/Winter ‘17 collection is a throwback to a time when men weren't afraid to add a little colour or embellishment
to their wardrobe. That’s the singular trait by which you can tell a Raymond man: his sartorial dexterity. He can move
from hip-hop street style to punk rock to ‘70s-meets-David Bowie without skipping a beat. While most guys stick to a
basic uniform, our leisure wear range displays that the only real limit to a man's fashion is a man's imagination.
O N H O L D ING Y O U R O W N
We might be living in quiet times but whichever way
you look at it, you groove is bold. It’s unafraid and
experimental. But it’s also aware of the room. Because
if there’s one golden rule, it is this: Evolve or Die.

Shades of Cool: A two-button, single-breasted, tweed jacket


paired with made-to-measure denim and a printed shirt.
ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO PRINT
The vacation shirt has become a thing this fall. The truly dapper
gentleman knows the last thing he should do is to tone it down.
It isn’t right unless you can spot the dude from the highway.

Designed by Dissent: (Left) A two-piece leisure co-ordinate of a


double-breasted, navy Italian wool blazer, paired with a tropical printed shirt
and slim-fit, Prince-of-Wales trousers.

Grey Rhapsody: (Right) Two-piece single-breasted 100% wool suit with


ankle length slim-fit trousers.
N OT I C E A P A T T ERN ?
Tailored doesn’t mean stuffy. Especially when
you’ve got the shirt of the season on your side.
Wear these obscenely good-looking shirts and let
your freak flag fly high in the face of conformity.
A S A R TO RIA L S TRE A K
It’s that time of the year when jackets come into their
own. Not just as an extra layer of insulation but as an
immediate indicator of your style sensibility. Or lack of
it. Here’s a tip: Just keep everything else dialled down
and you’ll be good to go.

Seeing Red: A single-breasted, two-button 100% Italian wool


jacket, with a V-neck lapel waistcoat and cotton chinos.
“Nothing says style like a pocket full of silk”
NOT MADE FROM SCRATCH
There’s a fine line between Tweed and Twee.
It’s the way you walk it: with a bit of sass and
a dash of nonchalance. Unlike those prickly,
boxy versions of yore, these suits are cut for
a man of refined taste.

Scottish Highs: (Left) A single-breasted, 100% wool


flannel jacket with chinos and printed shirt

Tryst with Tweed: (Right) A two-button, single-breasted,


half-line tweed jacket, paired with a premium cotton printed
shirt and chinos.
THE ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT DRESSER
If you’re stuck in an endless rotation of sensible, conventional
menswear, allow us to introduce you to the gateway guards of
rebel style. Men who have simply preempted the style zeitgeist.
Whether or not you buy into it is of no concern to them. And
nor should it be.

Fair and Square: (Left) A classic, single-breasted jacket with ticket pocket
details paired with an Italian cotton shirt and made-to-measure denim.

The Indulgent Drifter: (Right) A classic, single-breasted, woolen jacket


with elbow patch details, printed shirt and made-to-measure denim.
T H E C O U N T E R C U L T U R E
Cool as a term has always been an abstract, almost subjective concept.
And because it has become rather codified of late, those who possess it
have even more status. A status that is inherently about one thing: Style.
Dusk Till Dawn: (Left) A two-piece,
double-breasted jacket with metal button details
paired with a printed shirt.

(Right) A two-piece single-breasted wool suit paired


with a printed shirt.
THE DRESS CODE DECODED
The easiest way to dress down a bowtie? Ditch the classic suit
jacket. Roll up your sleeves or simply wear a pair of camel lace-ups
that can make any outfit a little bit badass.
FI N D I N G Y O UR S T Y L E
It’s not as much about making a statement as hitting the
reset button on your personal style. And it all starts with
nailing the new fall jacket. Luxurious enough to stand in
for a leather jacket on a night out, yet elegant enough for
a spot of shopping, this slick take on the jacket checks
multiple style boxes at once.

Master of Minimalism: A long jacket made from Italian fabric and


paired with made-to-measure denim and a printed shirt.
A FRESH BOUQUET OF STYLE
Be a man. Show your flowery side. The next
evolution of the suit goes beyond good vibes with
bright and happy prints. Be it subtle sprouts or an
overgrown patch, the floral look is the way to go.
If you’re still a tad shy, just a floral shirt will do.

Floral Flamboyance: A two-piece, single-breasted, notch lapel


cotton suit with slim-fit, cropped trousers and a mandarin-collar shirt.
