House Styles

The Foundations

Over time, certain proportions have settled into the atelier through years of bespoke work. These are the house styles — established ways of cutting, each carrying a consistent stance refined through repeated fittings and wear. When commissioning, a client begins with one of these foundations. The fit remains specific to the wearer.

Heritage Forms
01

Suit

The Mr. Fox suit is built around a house cut that has evolved through years of bespoke work.

The cut draws on the clarity of Italian suiting — a defined waist, a clean silhouette — and the steadiness of British structure, where balance and comfort matter as much as appearance. Over time, that combination became part of our foundation.

It holds its shape. Maintains clean proportion. Sits correctly on the body without feeling constructed.

Best realised in structured woollens — Super 120s to Super 150s from Scabal or Dormeuil, or a Holland & Sherry fresco for year-round wear.

02  ·  The Bandhgala

Bandhgala

The Bandhgala developed in the princely courts of North India as a formal coat defined by its closed collar and uninterrupted front. Its restraint was its authority.

Our interpretation begins with that foundation. The collar cut to sit neatly and upright at the neck, the body drafted with care through the chest and waist. Particular attention given to the vertical line that defines the Bandhgala, allowing it to hold its structure.

The aim is not to reinterpret the garment, but to retain the clarity that has defined it for generations.

The vertical line demands a cloth with body — a worsted wool or wool-silk blend from Dormeuil or Scabal that holds the front flat and the collar upright.

03  ·  The Achkan

Achkan

Our Achkan is informed by a tailoring lineage in Mahmudabad where this silhouette has been made consistently for generations. What drew us to it was the clarity of its proportion, the way it stands upright, the measured length, the uninterrupted front.

We retained that foundation and refined it through our own fittings. The aim was not to alter its character. Only to ensure it sits comfortably through long ceremonial settings.

Structured and dignified. Composed when worn.

Silk, silk-wool, and fine cotton all sit well in the Achkan — the length and structure of the cut respond to cloth with natural drape.

04  ·  The Sadri

Sadri

The Sadri is a sleeveless jacket with its origins in the Indian subcontinent — worn over a kurta or a shirt, functioning as a middle layer that adds structure without the formality of a full coat.

Our interpretation is tailored and precise. A band collar that sits cleanly at the neck. A buttoned front that closes in a straight uninterrupted line. Two bellowed pockets set low for proportion. The body cut on a tailored taper — close enough to read as deliberate, with enough ease to be worn through a full day.

It works equally well over a formal kurta at a ceremony and over a shirt on a Tuesday. That range is what makes it a house style.

Handwoven textiles — khadi, cotton, linen — sit naturally in the Sadri's silhouette. The cloth's texture becomes part of the garment's character.

Tailored Casual
05  ·  The Bomber Jacket

Bomber Jacket

The Mr. Fox bomber reinterprets a familiar silhouette through the discipline of tailoring. It is not a sport garment made more considered — it is a tailored jacket made more relaxed.

Cut with a clean shoulder and balanced proportions, drafted to sit close to the body while retaining the ease the style demands. A shirt-style collar replaces the ribbed neckline. The buttoned front gives the jacket a quieter, more considered presence. Hem and cuffs retain the subtle elasticity of the classic profile.

Construction remains light, allowing the cloth to move naturally while holding a defined line through the body and sleeve.

06  ·  The Worker Jacket

Worker Jacket

The Worker Jacket draws on the utilitarian jacket tradition — a garment designed for sustained wear, where function and form arrived at the same answer.

Our interpretation applies the standards of the atelier to that foundation. A half-cutaway collar that sits cleanly without closing at the neck. Three patch pockets, placed for proportion as much as use, finished with metal rivets. Shirt-style cuffs. A button front that closes in a straight line. The body cut to a tailored regular fit — neither close nor relaxed, simply correct.

It softens with every wear. That is the point.

Every commission at Mr. Fox begins here — with a foundation that has been refined through years of fittings, and a pattern that will be drafted once, for you.
