Summer Cascade
50% Wool, 50% Linen, 290gms Milled in the UK by Dugdale Brothers
Woven in Huddersfield, England, Summer Cascade is a lightweight wool-linen suiting built for the warmer months — and one of our favorite cloths for custom linen suits in NYC summers. The 50/50 wool and linen blend (290g / 10oz) breathes the way pure linen does, but with the structure and recovery of English wool, meaning your suit holds its shape from a morning meeting through a July wedding (See proof to the right! Our nyc summer wedding client wearing Summer Cascade!). It's the answer to the classic complaint about linen suits in New York: you want the airiness without the rumple. A proprietary open weave makes the cloth light enough for jackets yet durable enough for trousers — a rare balance in breathable summer fabrics. The collection spans quiet plains and characterful patterns: puppytooth, herringbone, gunclub, and windowpane checks, in tones like celadon green, beige, and forest. Sourced from the same historic mills trusted by fine English tailors, and cut here in NYC to your measurements, Summer Cascade makes a custom summer suit you'll actually reach for in real heat.
