Most two-pieces come with a manual and a dry-clean-only attitude. This isn’t one of them. The Slack Jacket and Trousers are built for those who like their tailoring to take it easy. No stiffness, no airs—just a good cut with the freedom to move, sit, and slouch as you please.

The silhouette of a blazer, the ease of a work jacket, and a clever little slit at the back borrowed from riding gear. Shorter and straighter than your average suit jacket, it sits right between polished and practical—equally at home at the office or lounging about whiling away the time. Hopefully, those aren’t the same thing.

Forget tapering. These Slack Trousers are cut straight, with a clean drop to keep your calves out of the conversation. With a mid-rise waist and a 21cm leg opening (size M), they feel more like Chinos. Roomy, but tidy.

No shiny stuff here. We went for a hefty organic cotton serge twill (260g/m², if you like numbers) that holds its shape and gives you a bit of that dry, grainy feel without inviting too much creasing. Soft, but not too soft. Durable, but doesn’t scream "construction site."

It all kicks off Tuesday. The Slack Jacket on preorder lands at 169€, the matching Trousers at 99€, and yes, you’ve done the maths—268€ for the full set. That’s a steal for a two-piece that works this hard without looking like it’s trying.

Want in? Just drop your email. We’ll ping you when it goes live. Orders ship mid-July.

If you miss out, you may find them at a Stock Sale, but the prices will be 219€ and 139€ respectively, blame the inventory costs.
