THE NEW “SCABAL N° 12” LINE:
A CONTEMPORARY INTERPRETATION OF TRADITION

The “Scabal N° 12” collection is handcrafted according to the strict bespoke tailoring traditions of Savile Row, is the ultimate Scabal range. A “Scabal N° 12” suit is the epitome of natural, contemporary elegance that underlines the importance of tradition and is the perfect blend of modern comfort and tailored elegance.

The name “Scabal N° 12” refers not only to the house number of Scabal’s flagship store on Savile Row – the centre of the international bespoke tailoring scene, where Scabal has a long-established presence – but also to the obvious British influences in this collection. Today, Scabal proudly supplies cloth to the most renowned tailors all over the world, and in particular to “the Row”. The concept of “Scabal N° 12” combines Scabal’s unique fabric tradition with the luxury of the bespoke tailored suit. The excellent quality of the more than 5,000 Scabal fabrics is the solid foundation of this collection for discerning men who appreciate modern sophistication and superior craftsmanship. The fabric is of course the basic ingredient. Even before Scabal had a weaving mill of its own in the UK, the ingredients of its collections were already found on the British Isles. Throughout the years, the British style has been through many changes. Although it has evolved into a modern style for today’s man, it has never renounced its roots of elegance. The new “Scabal N°12” line perfectly reflects this evolution.

Scabal N° 12 for superior quality

A “Scabal N° 12” suit is cut by hand and follows the line of the male body to perfection. Shaped shoulders and a tailored waist create a classy silhouette. All the parts, even the invisible ones, are prepared and sewn together by hand. The canvas backing is made up of layers of camel hair and horsehair, pre-washed to ensure the uniformity and stability of the garment. Each of these components contributes to the comfort, lightness and durability of a “Scabal N° 12” suit.

Scabal attaches the greatest importance to details and finish, two typical elements of the noble tradition of bespoke tailoring. Buttonholes, for instance, are double-stitched: first with cotton yarn, then with silk. The insets of shoulders and sleeves are sewn by hand and moulded, so that the shoulder and chest are guaranteed to fit comfortably and acquire an expression unique to handmade garments.

Several models of jackets, trousers, waistcoats and coats are available. A “Scabal N° 12” suit can of course be personalised by choosing from a wide range of linings and buttons, by having your name embroidered on the lining, or by selecting other options such as open buttonholes with kissing buttons. The production of a “Scabal N° 12” suit is a very labour-intensive process. Seeing that Scabal does not wish to jeopardise quality in any way, the delivery period is six weeks.
