Elliot’s suit composed of multiple components:
The jacket is a fine worsted wool and has a peaked lapel in black duchess satin. The jacket is designed using a soft tailoring design concept developed by Jack for the system named the “deltoid sleeve”which has, over the past number of years, been a major focus in the practice. The tailoring method softens the shoulder, allows for better articulation and has a much more passive aesthetic for a suit.
His trousers, of the same cloth, are cut into four gores or panels, with a double button-up fly front inspired by 17th and 18th century mens garment cutting.
The cummerbund is made from the same silk cloth, woven in duchess satin, that is featured on the jacket’s lapel. The haphazard folds of this cummerbund also conceal a pocket for small items. The cummerbund ties at the back of the body into a fanciful bow.
Bespoke shirt is 100% silk woven into organza, in some areas layers are doubled, in others single, to allow for airflow in the hot Portuguese summer. The collar, which is detachable, is created from off cuts of Madeline’s dress.
The neck scarf or sash is an accessory that allowed Elliot room to play as he experienced his day. The sash also consisted of the same “pale rose” satin silk that came from Madeline’s dress, allowing Elliot to feel even closer to her on their day.
Elliots outfits were made through an iterative process of fittings with toile garments. Despite living in Sydney, Madeline and Elliot worked with me to create fully bespoke looks that integrated into the aesthetics of their ceremony that was held in Lisbon in June this year.
