The collection is characterized by sartorial hand finishing on tailoring with hand applied velvet top collars. Metal heritage collar hooks, horn press studs, press studs with bridle leather re-enforcement, luggage rivets and metal luggage lock fastenings add a glint to the attire.

The quintessential, gentlemanly Burberry umbrella is made with English resin animal head handle and college stripe sporting gold finish on the handle. Leather rubber sole brogues and leather rubber sole lace-up derby shoes adorn the feet. Suede geometric patchwork document cases and studded textured leather document cases are held in the hand. Knitted cashmere ribbed suede gloves steal the eye.
