The Dover

The Dover

For decades, pinstripes have communicated a strong message of professionalism and dependability. And the pinstripe’s heavier variant – the chalkstripe – perhaps even more so. Combine the classic pattern with a Marzotto cashmere wool blended fabric, and not only do you have yourself an insuperable work suit, you have the Dover, one of the showpieces of Bonobos' 2011 suiting re-launch. With a name that takes its inspiration from the white chalk cliffs of Dover, this is a meticulously crafted garment, made by a family-owned company that’s been expertly making suits for over half a century. The design features a Viscose blend lining, as well as silk piping details on the interior, and the cut is a shining example of the Bonobos New Tailored Fit. The Dover is, without exaggeration, one of the finest suits we’ve seen, and a sure way to enhance whatever professional look you’re going for.

Bonobos has toiled long and hard to make the fit of our suits this year even better. We made the fit across the chest snug but not constraining for a trim look that's also comfortable. We made tailoring it to perfection even easier by making the button cuffs non-functioning. We boosted the heft of the pockets and interlining for added durability, and narrowed the lapels for a more modern look. We kept the same great attention to detail and appreciation of fine European fabrics and old world craftsmanship from some of our friends up north in Canadia. If you've tried one of our wonderful suits before, you'll be amazed at how far we've come. If you haven't tried one before, now's the time to jump in the boat.
