Virgil No. 4 Suit in Navy/Grey Chalk Stripe Plainweave

• We always love a chalk stripe suit — it's like a subtler, easier-to-wear take on a pinstripe, without the bootlegger connotations.
• On this plainweave, which comes from Italy, each stripe is three warp threads wide, which gives the pattern a softly blended, almost blurred look as if it were drawn by a tailor's chalk (hence the name).
• And it's more versatile than a pinstripe because it can be dressed up or worn in less formal situations.
• This suit is our No. 4 make, almost fully handmade, which means more time in our Neapolitan tailors' hands... in fact, the jacket alone requires a full ten hours’ worth of tailoring before it leaves the workshop.
• The shoulder, lining, darts, buttonholes, buttons, and several other elements are sewn by hand, and you can feel it when you put it on.
• It's almost like the seams move with you.
• It's cut in our Virgil model, which has a natural shoulder, a 3-roll-2 lapel, and a shorter body with no front darts at all.
• Think old-school 'sack suit,' but sexier.
• The trousers, too, are designed to complement the jacket, with a trim-but-not-tight leg that looks great with a cuff.
• They've also got a dak waistband with adjuster tabs that give the whole suit a more trussed-up look.
• The Virgil silhouette has a slightly more American feel than the Kincaid or the Landry, but just like all of our tailored clothing, it's designed to take you from Mississippi to Milan — and back again — without looking or feeling out of place.
