Tom is up for our February Monthly Mood board and he’s got spring on his mind too.
Tom’s February 2026 Monthly Mood Board
Tom is drawing inspiration from our Ruby Room materials library with a nod to 1930s French Riviera and 1920s Prep. Tom has chosen a fine super 130s Italian wool in a micro brown and cream gingham for the jacket with a contrasting trouser in a dark brown, yarn dyed, dry, worsted tropical weave, perfect for a beach side café lunch or an outdoor summer wedding.

His illustration proposes a jacket with a high cut, nipped in waist, a generous drape at the shoulders, a roped sleeve crown, three low buttons, a generous notched lapel – cut long – and fullness in the hips, with elbow patches and a slight flare on the sleeve. This jacket would be half lined for hot weather wear, while still offering structure.

The trousers reference 1920s oxford bags, originally trousers made to put on over other sportswear so that university students could make it to classes after sporting activities properly attired. These very wide legged trousers play on the proportions of the jacket, lengthening the leg even more in combination with the high cut of the jacket waist. The trousers are cut high in the waist as well, paired with a custom braided belt (that we also offer at the shop) and finished off with a wide cuff at the bottom.
