JACKET OFF
STILL DRESSED

There comes a point at every wedding when the jackets come off and most men suddenly look like they have wandered in from the office. Edmund keeps you looking the part right through to the last dance. It sits neatly over a shirt, gives your shoulders some shape and turns an ordinary pair of trousers into an outfit. Wear it for the big day, then for every Sunday lunch after.

WHY THE EDMUND?

• A pattern that rewards a second look: The fine herringbone weave reads as a solid colour from across the room and reveals its texture up close. It gives the waistcoat a quiet depth that plain cloth never manages.
  
  
• Cut to give you shape: The structured fit sits close through the body and squares off the chest, so you look upright and well put together. It does for a shirt what a good jacket does, without the weight.
  
  
• Adjust it at the back: A strap across the back lets you take it in or let it out, so it sits just right before the meal and stays comfortable after the pudding.
  
  
• Formal or relaxed, both work: With a tie and pressed trousers it belongs at a wedding or a christening. Open at the collar with chinos, it suits a pub lunch or an evening at the theatre.
  
  
• Five colours, sizes S to 2XL: Grey, Blue, Green, Red and Orange, from the reliable to the rather more confident. It comes up a little small, so take one size up from your usual.
