Men's Linen Suits

Percival’s Linen Suits are a summer staple—perfect for styling with a T-shirt. a Knitted Polo, a classic Poplin Shirt, or even a Cuban Shirt. Our men’s linen suits span the whole summer palette, with options in green, cream and navy. Imagine an idyllic summer day during which you finally sit down in the garden to write the novel you’ve been threatening to pen, but in the form of a suit… That’s what Perci’s linen suits are. A tailored but comfortable cut means you’ll look stylish but feel breezy.

We’re talking summer weddings, we’re talking barbecues, we’re talking christenings, we’re talking bar mitzvahs, we’re talking birthday parties and holidays and lakeside aperitivi and evening tapas. Linen is breathable and as light as the air it breathes. You never have to fret about sweating out more fluid than you can realistically consume in a day because of a stuffy suit in the sunshine. You can be cool and comfortable and look great all at the same time. Join us in the Linen Suit Fan Club* immediately. Meetings are poolside and the negronis are free**.

A linen suit is made for summer weddings. Full stop. The only real question is how hot are we talking? If it’s warm but manageable, a linen three piece suit gives you presence without the weight of heavier tailoring. If it’s blazing, drop to a two piece linen suit. Ours is premium linen, sourced to breathe properly, so you’re not standing there in a lightweight summer suit wondering why your shirt has turned abstract. Colours now. Go cream, green, navy, mauve, merlot. All fair game.

First things first, linen wrinkles. That’s not a defect, it’s the charm. A men's linen suit should look relaxed, not vacuum-packed. After wearing, hang it up properly and let the fibres recover. Use steam to soften creases rather than pressing it flat like office tailoring. Deal with stains quickly and don’t leave prep until the morning of the wedding. Linen rewards a bit of foresight.
