Canali has been making suits in northern Italy since 1934. The family is still involved. The cloth still comes from the finest mills. The construction still begins with a canvas that is hand-stitched to the chest piece, a process that takes longer and costs more than the alternative and produces a jacket that drapes in a way that the alternative never quite does.

Their range at Richard Gelding covers suits, blazers, trousers, formal and casual shirts, knitwear, outerwear, shoes, and accessories: a full wardrobe from a house that has been getting it right for nine decades. Made-to-measure is available in store with no appointment necessary, starting at £1,900 for a two-piece. Four weeks. Worth every day of them.
