Autumn-Winter 2012-2013

Meet our new gentlemen

Luxury cloths to be worn with confidence are what the new Scabal collection for Autumn-Winter 12- 13 is all about. Renowned for the high quality of its designs, many of which are woven in its own mill in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, Scabal has put together a collection that satisfies all the important lifestyle needs of its clients. For Autumn Winter season Scabal has a solution to every requirement for a discerning man’s wardrobe.

	Fabric 703235 and Mr. Know-How Mr. Know-How is the first man you would call when you need advice. Just like his grandfather, he is full of lore and as bright as they come. Add to this an inherited eye for true craftsmanship, and you'll think twice before bothering Mr. Know-How with fashionable gimmicks or frivolity. Only durable, authentic quality is dear to him. No wonder Mr. Know-How only wears suits that bear a skilled craftsman's handwriting. One of his favourite Scabal cloths is fabric N°703235, a heavier English weave made from a 360-gramme strong, pure winter wool. This traditional quality is rare to find nowadays, and harmonizes perfectly with a timeless design. Scabal's “Classics” collection offers a rich variety to choose from, from a birdseye weave full of character to twill woven herringbones, stripes or checks. A dream collection for connoisseurs who value artisanal tradition more than anything else. Collection: The Classics Design: Birdseye weave
	Fabric 703167 and Mr. Comfortable Mr. Comfortable is a warm person living a hectic life. He works like a madman, but will fiercely defend his right to relax at set times. His suits therefore need to feel comfortable enough to take a quick nap, but unfussy enough to get up and go. Fabric N°703167 from the “Cortina” collection is perfectly suited for this double purpose. Made from a 280-gramme extrafine merino wool, this pure quality will enrobe you with warmth without feeling ponderous. Its ultra-soft finishing results from Scabal's traditional milling process; its pleasant flannel feeling from a prolonged scouring treatment. The modern glencheck pattern adds a lot of flair, which contrasts nicely with the fabric's classic, alpine feel. This must-have mix of softness and elegance makes a man like Mr. Comfortable simply content. Until that smartphone rings again... Collection: Cortina Design: Suit in grey glencheck with blue overcheck
	Fabric 852161 and Mr. Philosopher Where are the days when long letters, full-blooded horses and true chivalry saved you from the ordinary? Mr. Philosopher decided to bring those glorious times back in vogue. And he’s on a mission. Mr. Philosopher thinks every man should adhere to cavalier values and noble thinking. Scabal's luxurious cashmere seems to be his perfect missionary companion. This warm but light worsted quality from the “Romance” collection is simply exceptional. Its origins lie in the Himalayan mountains where the best and most exclusive cashmere is made, very different from the standard ones found on the market. Only the longest, finest and whitest underbelly hairs of cashmere goats are selected, and tightly spun into ultra-fine yarns. The resulting jacket is blessed with a lovely drape and a magnificent natural sheen, unique to Scabal cashmere. It always accompanies Mr. Philosopher to his clubhouse, where he loves to muse on the hilly landscape while politely discussing the meaning of life with his cavalier disciples. Collection: Romance Design: Jacket in light grey window-pane checks (orange/blue details)
	Fabric 801695 and Mr. Reliable Even at the tail end of the world, where the wind bellows and the cold cuts deep, Mr. Reliable would feel comfortable. Rock-solid and full of calm, he inspires respect and confidence. He is a true natural, and dresses accordingly. Mr. Reliable adores the rustic flannel feeling of a warm, traditional cloth such as fabric N° 801695. This soft, pure woollen quality belongs to Scabal’s “Gallery” collection. It is made of a heavier 340-gramme woollen yarn for a silhouette full of strength and volume. A fleecy finishing and an elegant tartan pattern turn it into the perfect leisure jacket. Other Gallery cloths range up to 420-gramme pure wool to blends with cashmere or cotton , all presented in country-inspired designs. These highly comfortable qualities will provide for elegance and shelter on even the roughest backcountry trips. Collection: Gallery Design: Jacket & Trousers
	Fabric 752363 and Mr. Tycoon Mr. Tycoon is a true headstrong, focused and ready to race. For him, life is all about paying attention. Mr. Tycoon doesn’t wait for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on the forehead, he takes things in hands himself. When he enters the corporate battlefield, he enjoys impressing his opponents by wearing a three-piece-suit that drapes perfectly. No better cloth than fabric N° 752363 to do the job. This exquisite featherweight is the highlight of Scabal's exquisite “Toison d'Or” range. Made from classic Super 150s wool weighing barely 260 grammes, the cloth has a fabulous handle and smoothness much-praised by connoisseurs. Its refined design and lustrous finishing add a glamorous touch that will ginger up any business meeting. This mix of classic confidence and modern audacity has proven to be such an effective business tactic, that it even impresses Mr. Tycoon. Collection: Toison d’Or Design: Suit in bright navy blue checks
	Fabric 851670 and Mr. High-Society Every era needs an ambassador of elegance, a role that is cut out for Mr. High-Society. His fascination with well-dressed Hollywood legends has turned his wardrobe into a gold vein of style. And he isn’t lacking in inspiration. Mr. High-Society loves to throw riverside parties for a phalanx of movie stars, models and moguls. And when all the bars in town have closed, the night continues from his penthouse's rooftop where he uses to welcome his guests in a classy, featherweight cashmere gown. Only the finest, longest and brightest cashmere fibres are chosen to create this impressively smooth N°851670 fabric. It belongs to the exclusive Loch Fyne range, offering designs with predominant beige, brown and blue checks, herringbones or plain attractive shades.
