The Collection “the first thing a gentleman needs is a good suit…” The suiting and overcoats At the heart of the Kingsman wardrobe is a broad selection of classic British tailoring items designed to cater for the needs of the modern gentleman spy. All suiting is double- breasted and sports jackets are single-breasted. Also included are overcoats, a tuxedo and even a velvet smoking jacket, all featuring traditionally patterned cloths woven exclusively for Kingsman by the best British mills and made in England.

The Knitwear – Corgi Two essential pieces of knitwear feature in the Kingsman wardrobe: a chunky crew neck Geelong wool army sweater designed for operations in the field, and a cashmere cardigan that’s better suited to off-duty pursuits. Both are made by Corgi, a respected knitwear producer based in Wales. The Outerwear – Mackintosh The Scottish raincoat company Mackintosh has more than 150 years’ experience in keeping people dry.
