Sid Mashburn Kincaid No. 3 Suit

Sharkskin makes for the quintessential business-guy suit. It’s made from contrasting threads woven across each other in an almost-stairstep pattern, so there's a slight bit of movement across the surface... which means it strikes the perfect balance between subtle and special, whether you’re closing the deal or just looking the part. We built the Kincaid silhouette with a soft (read: natural) shoulder and a specially-constructed canvas chest piece that's light but has some shape — because when you wear a jacket, you want the real man to show through. The body is a touch shorter, with some tracing to it, for a fit that's slimmish but never skinny. It has enough ease to go for the weekend and a pair of jeans, but enough structure for something serious like the Sabbath, or a space launch. Full canvas construction is like the sine qua non of tailoring, and the canvas is extra-lightweight, which makes for an even more comfortable fit. (You can almost feel it start to mold to your body as soon as you slip it on.) And while we always go for an American-Italian blend, the cut of the Kincaid model leans a bit more sartoria than the rest. It's designed to take you from Mississippi to Manhattan to Milan, and back again, without looking or feeling out of place.
