For The Suits, Suit


One of our own tonic suits. You can’t tell because of the lighting but the jacket is a silver tonic. 3 covered button suit with a beautiful Brooks Brothers striped button down underneath and a claret and blue pocket hankie. One of our proudest possessions.

Dormeuil Tonik


Best tonic, or tonik if you prefer, available. Can’t claim to own a suit made with the stuff, that is but a dream at this point. Doesn’t seem to be easy to come by either. Started in 1842 by Jules Dormeuil, the business continuously expanded and in 1956 the company created the fabric it would be famous for. It was the now infamous “Tonik”, a 3 ply mohair blend. The fabric quickly caught on with mods, skinheads and suedeheads and the rest is, as they say, history.

Count All 'Em


Dedication to customization. Proper suit, prefer covered buttons though. Was originally thinking nine buttons was a bit too much but there’s a suit with six in the closet.
