Houndstooth never goes out of style. The tight check pattern emerged in woven tweed centuries ago and hails from the Scottish lowlands, hence the reason it’s sometimes called “border tartan”. Popular all year round, plaid really comes into its own in winter. Our Tailored Fit merino houndstooth jacket – available in black & grey and an eye-catching oatmeal/brown – makes for an eminently stylish alternative to black tie, with a refined yet relaxed aesthetic that is at once timeless yet contemporary.

Another dashing tartan is the regal Prince of Wales check, whose unique pattern is characterised by a combination of large and small puppytooth squares. It was originally known as Glenurquhart Estate Check and worn by staff of the Highland estate, where it caught the eye of the then Prince of Wales, King Edward VII. Though adopted by the monarch, it was his grandson, the fashionable and dapper Edward VIII, who popularised the pattern, and it’s been a staple of the royal family ever since, favoured by King Charles III and even the late Princess Diana.

For New Year’s Eve, channel a different kind of fashion royalty – the official king of cool, Steve McQueen (specifically in The Thomas Crown Affair), with our three-piece Prince of Wales check suit. This modern update uses high-quality wool woven by heritage Yorkshire mill Alfred Brown and will ensure you end 2023 on a high.

Another sleek alternative to black tie is our elegant oatmeal Tailored Fit wool silk woven unstructured jacket. The wool-silk blend is luxurious and refined, while the unstructured silhouette is contemporary and comfortable (and you won’t need to loosen your buttons by the stroke of midnight). The jacket is made in Portugal from wool-silk fabric woven in Yorkshire and naturally dyed to give it its distinctive light biscuit colour.

It’s all well and good suggesting alternatives to black tie, but it’s an elegant ensemble you simply can’t go wrong with. Black tie became de rigueur after King Edward VII requested his tailor create a smoking jacket and matching trousers in 1885. The dapper look swept Edwardian Britain and became popular across the pond when it was adopted by members of the fancy Tuxedo Club in New York state (hence the term “tuxedo”).

Our black Tailored Fit pure wool evening jacket and matching pleated trousers are your go-to black-tie ensemble. The pure wool fabric is woven in Yorkshire by our friends at Alfred Brown and naturally dyed.
