Purple Bamboo Mandarin Suit
Made to order in London, please allow 4 weeks for dispatch.
This is a two-piece purple suit made out of silken bamboo, a fabric that’s analogous to an ultralight cashmere in terms of its warmth, softness, and drape. Our purple suit for men comprises an unlined Nehru jacket featuring our signature collar, the Meridian, as well as a pair of men’s elastic waist trousers with zippered fly. The fabric has a beautiful luster reminiscent of silk, and this suit, worn with a formal shirt or base layer, would be the perfect outfit for a wedding or special occasion. This men’s purple suit ships with our British-made cotton garment bag and can be purchased as separates: Purple Bamboo Nehru Jacket, Purple Bamboo Elastic Waist Trousers.
Note: Size here refers to jacket size. When adding to cart, you’ll be prompted to select a trouser size.

This suit is defined by its luxurious bamboo silk fabric. We didn’t want to detract from the fabric in any way and decided that the best way to take advantage of its drape was to liberate it from any possible strictures. In lieu of canvassing, we used a gossamer interlining to provide the faintest semblance of structure.

Although cut for a tailored fit, the exquisite softness and drape of the fabric give this suit a relaxed feel akin to wearing a pair of dressy silk pajamas. The trousers have an elastic waist and zippered fly while the jacket is unstructured and unlined for ease of movement.

Fabric composition: 100% bamboo. Bamboo is antimicrobial with anti-inflammatory properties. When transmuted into fabric, the result is ultra-soft, breathable and moisture-wicking in warm temperatures, insulating in cooler temperatures, defensive against UV radiation, hypoallergenic, and biodegradable. The pocket fabric is certified organic bamboo silk while the buttons are carved from natural horn.
