the ozempic capsule collection
“You’ll need two bloody Negronis to buy any of this pish.”W.W.
I hereby present a capsule collection of gentlemen’s clothing to satisfy all of your needs.
We have taken extraordinary measures to blend the tailoring of Savile Row with the relaxed wearability of Neapolitan design and fabrics.
Jonathan and I specifically sourced the finest English fabrics (with a few cheeky picks from Loro Piana) to ensure durability and perfect cloth hang with little need to press, so each item should last a lifetime.
The collection was born from a desire to look and feel like a libidinous 1970s Italian industrialist, while picking up a bottle of Glen’s Vodka (and mixers) at Nisa at 3am.
Prices range from a £60 tie to a £2,000 flasher’s mac.
The whole caboodle, yours for an elegant £6,500, includes 11 items and an Ozempic-busting alteration service for two years.
I believe the collection will be equally appealing to those on a first date in Clapham as to those hiding from the Yakuza behind the bins of a well-regarded Roppongi Hills brothel.
Either way, I hope you find a few pieces that you will enjoy wearing as much as we did designing them.
