Inspiration
The Tiber Suit
The Tiber Suit is one of our signature house styles, available year-round and cut in the perfect shade of navy blue. If you only have one suit, this should be it.
Linen
The linen we use in our shirts is cultivated in Normandy, where favourable conditions and generations of knowledge gives life to the most precious linen of the world. Linen is a fibre which is European by history and tradition.
The nature, composition and architecture of the fibres give the flax excellent properties for warm weather - it's resistant, insulating, highly absorbant, thermo-regulating and non-allergenic.
The flax requires no additional irrigation on top of what the atmosphere provides, making it a self-sufficient and very environmentally-conscious choice. There is also no wastage in the weaving process as the entire plant may be used.
Side Adjusters
The sartorial alternative to belt loops; this detail gives a clean front and also gives the visual effect of lengthening the legs, whilst working to increase the comfort of your trousers. They are a hallmark of classic tailoring.
Tailoring
A Contemporary house style drawing inspiration from British and Italian Tailoring tradition. Garments are Made in Italy and designed to work in harmony with an Antipodean climate and lifestyle. Soft, comfort-focussed artisanal construction allows the wearer to feel effortlessly ennobled without restriction.
Fabric
Crane Brothers works with dozens of the world’s finest cloth mills, offering an incalculable number of exciting options to create with, from light Italian twills to the luxurious and tactile British flannel. Our staff will be able to guide you through the selection process, understanding your requirements for the garment and helping you select a fabric that offers the right blend of aesthetic, weight, performance and tactility.
Fit
Ensure the perfect fit through guidance and measurement in store. Our garments are cut, constructed and finished by hand at our central Italy factory. We use hand-canvassing on all of our jackets, a process which, when paired with our soft shoulder line and full sleeve head, gives them unparalleled freedom of movement. Our house shape is soft through the shoulder with a full sleeve head and a gently suppressed abdomen, designed to work in concert with our finely tailored trouser shape.
