There are cloths that quietly support a design, and there are cloths that become the defining feature of the garment. Carnival firmly belongs in the latter category.
For decades, Carnival has been recognised as one of the defining wool and mohair suiting collections, celebrated not only for its exceptional range of colours but for the way those colours come to life. From electric blues and rich racing greens to burnt oranges, deep burgundies and timeless tailoring shades, Carnival offers a depth and clarity that brings every garment its own distinctive character.
The secret lies in the relationship between wool and mohair. Wool provides richness, softness and depth of colour, while mohair introduces a natural brightness and subtle clarity that allows shades to appear more vibrant without becoming overpowering. The result is a cloth with genuine visual presence; refined, elegant and full of life.
Woven from a blend of 60% RMS-certified mohair and 40% RWS-certified wool at a versatile 270g (9.5oz), Carnival combines the performance qualities of both fibres to create a cloth that is as rewarding to wear as it is to admire.
A Collection Where Colour Comes First
Carnival is designed for those who appreciate the impact that a beautifully chosen colour can have on a bespoke garment.
As a plain suiting collection, there are no patterns or textures competing for attention. Instead, the quality of the fibre, the depth of shade and the craftsmanship of the cloth become the focus. Each colour is given the space to express itself, creating garments that feel considered, individual and unmistakably personal.
Whether commissioning a vibrant wedding suit, a distinctive jacket or a refined wardrobe staple, Carnival offers the freedom to create tailoring that reflects individual style.
The Character of Wool and Mohair
The appeal of Carnival extends beyond its colour palette. The combination of wool and mohair creates a cloth with the qualities that have made this blend a favourite among tailoring enthusiasts for generations.
Mohair contributes a crisp handle, natural resilience and excellent crease recovery, helping garments maintain their clean lines and tailored silhouette. Balanced with the softness and depth of fine wool, Carnival achieves the perfect harmony between structure, comfort and elegance.
It is this combination that allows the cloth to feel luxurious in the hand while continuing to perform beautifully through years of wear.
Made for Garments with Personality
Some cloths are chosen for practicality. Others are chosen because they create something memorable.
Carnival offers the opportunity to move beyond the expected while retaining the refinement and versatility that defines exceptional tailoring. Its extensive palette allows for both confident expressions of colour and more understated choices with subtle depth and character.
At 270g (9.5oz), it provides a versatile weight that works across a wide range of garments, from occasion tailoring and statement pieces to suits designed to become enduring favourites within a wardrobe.
