The enduring elegance of evening wear has been embraced by dunhill for Spring Summer 2010. Inspired by past and present wearers of dunhill’s consummate evening wear – such as the Duke of Windsor, Frank Sinatra, Daniel Craig, Truman Capote, Orlando Bloom and Jude Law - dunhill once again establish themselves as the ultimate choice for formal wear with a twist on the idea of a ‘future classic’.
Single buttoned with a peak lapel, the slim, elegant shape of the Spring Summer 2010 evening suits are offered in the very finest wool or wool/ mohair blends. Of course there is the classic black option, but for those who prefer something rather more modish, they can choose a midnight blue style with black satin lapels.
The more maverick gentleman can perhaps opt to style a cult dunhill blazer with a pair of evening trousers.
The dunhill Camdeboo Blazer
The blazer - deemed the male equivalent of the little black dress - is a pivotal link between the worlds of formal and casual menswear attire. It is all the more essential at a time when a man's wardrobe needs to be flexible and when staples are key, the current economic climate continues insists that men must invest in pieces that will last and be worn for years. And the luxury male consumer demands value.
The dunhill Blazer can genuinely lay claim to offering the ultimate blazer. Timeless and elegant, the blazer looks as good with jeans and a sweater as it does with flannel trousers, shirt and tie - the consummate weekend wardrobe piece. By using exclusive mohair from the Camdeboo region of South Africa, the dunhill blazer benefits from a number of performance qualities:
• Elasticity - Camdeboo mohair can be stretched by up to 30% and will spring back into shape whilst resisting wrinkling, stretching and sagging. Also provides for optimum drape. This makes it a PERFECT travel companion as can be literally rolled into a ball in your luggage and within seconds of being hung, will be back to its perfect shape, crease free and ready to wear
• Strength - Camdeboo mohair is stronger than steel of the same diameter
• Moisture Transfer - Camdeboo mohair easily absorbs and releases moisture, moving perspiration from the skin. Ideal for both hot and cold climates.
• Durability - Camdeboo mohair can be twisted and bent without damaging the fibre.
