Close view of deep navy fisherman-rib wool knit

THE CLOTH ROOM

Texture before ornament.

Cloth should be understood at arm’s length and appreciated up close.

House note

The useful wardrobe begins with touch: a dry wool, a dense rib, a coat cloth that holds its edge. Color stays close to the architecture—ink, camel, olive, cream, and the dark red of old brick.

Cloth note

Cream at the collar. Navy at the body. Camel at the coat. Olive or charcoal below. The materials do the remaining work.

Warmth, structure, and nothing unnecessary.
