The Grey Cardinal

Ivan Alia has traveled a lot around the world, before settling into the Bulgarian telecommunications business and falling in love with a local girl. His first appointment at Black Market is related to his wedding suit, provoked by our tailors’ craftsmanship in cutting the right silhouette for his body.

I can go all over the world with just three outfits: a blue blazer and grey flannel trousers, a grey flannel suit, and black tie.

In other words, a suit like no other he had had before. Although the grey three-piece suit is synonymous with the office uniform, work meetings and after-work drinks, the small details and the nice fabric make it look formal and appropriate for the occasion.

These are our real clients. We actually dress these fine fellas.

Details

The devil is in the details. Ivan's grey suit is made of high-quality wool in Prince of Wales check - a strong pattern for distinguished gentleman. The practical combination of a slim double-vented two-button suit jacket with mid-width lapels, waistcoat and trousers is a solid foundation for experimenting with ties and pocket squares in complementary colours. The blue lining is the perfect choice for a more relaxed and informal mood – like the one that makes you wear your shirt open and try your suit jacket with raw denim jeans.

The grey suit is essential for every closet, no matter if we talk about formal events or another day at the office. Even though Ivan's suit is tailored with the idea of a more relaxed wedding, don’t act surprised if you see him walking down the (office) aisle with a friendly smile and the certainty he is wearing the appropriate fabric and cut for his body and taste. Custom tailoring is like this - surpassing expectations and making you see yourself like never before.
