Purposeful meets Playful. The broken pinstripe is a striking example of the most classic summer power suit. Renditioned in my new silhouette, this suit is at home in a business meeting as it is on the boardwalk.

The cloth is woven from a 150s two-ply over-filled warp, lending itself an extremely smooth, clear and taunt hand. The extra yarn creates intense color depth and tone, allowingthe subtle off-white stripe to jump off.

For styling I recommend two aesthetics; Dressed up with our signature linen one-piece ‘Hollywood Collar’ shirt, or broken apart and dressed down with our new long sleeve cable knit and dark selvedge denim. Wear either look with a suede loafer and no socks.

Adding a patch pocket to the double breast coat with monochrome color blocking, this is a restrained and sophisticated way to dress with some color this season.

The cloth is woven from an ultra soft blend of silk, cashmere, and linen in relaxed summer twill. Like a clou,d it embodies and air of weightlessness yet dense depth to the hand. Presented in a variety of solid shades, highlighted here in Ice Lavender.

The styling can be taken a few directions based on the color and requirement. Worn as an elegant fashion statement in a full suit with chromatic linen shirt, or contrasted as a summer dinner jacket with black trousers and formal shirt.

Texture and tone combine to create new statement pieces that will not tire after multiple wears. Bright, solid colors are rejuvenated in ice tones with clean jet pockets. Hop sack and tone-on-tone reverse chevrons are approachable with patch pockets. All suggested in this season’s double breast silhouette.

Solids are woven from butter smooth and a barely there weight in super 170s compacted yarns. Textures are comprised of silk, cashmere and linen blends that offer a versatile transition in texture and tone through the changing seasons ahead.

Style the coats with the new 100% Delave Woven Linen “denim” in our patch-pocket model and new cable knit sweaters.

Weight is an important requisite in summer clothing, perhaps none more than trousers. Entertaining this on two ends, we have an interesting option.

Most classically as a gentle wool and mohair blend, woven in a tropical construction that is soft and crisp like a coastal summer breeze. Recommend in black or midnight, to anchor the lighter colors and new coat silhouette. Perfectly paired for a business meeting, tuxedo or dressier option for a night out.

More contemporary is the new selvedge twill denim woven in 100% delave linen. A weight reminiscent of your favorite selvedge denim, yet a feel that is consistent with the comfort of linen. Style in our patch pocket trouser to enhance the denim effect.

To the question of what to wear when not wearing a sport coat or suit, the Summer Bomber answers.

Woven in a mélange yarn “loopsack,” this relaxed and exaggerated hopsack lets air flow through in a multi-color 2-yarn effect. The blend of wool, linen, cotton and silk, is where aesthetics meet comfort in this fusion of summer casual cloth.

Last summer I introduced the baby cable in light weight 16gg silk & cashmere. This summer I have expanded the cable and gauge dropping the ground to a reverse stitch. This allows more natural air transfer and creates a cooling effect to a lofty summer knit. Best in vibrant blocks of solid color and worn on its own with a rugged pair of cargo shorts while sailing, denim and penny loafers for seaside evening strolls or dressed up with mohair slacks for a night out.

Shaving the weight and increasing the staple length of this typical short staple weave, the summer seersucker shirt is a striking take on cool dress for the season. Proposed (and preferred) in dark shades to juxtapose its ivy league urgings. Layer this as a dress shirt under solid color vibrant blazers, or wear on its own as an open collar camp style shirt with linen slacks or shorts.

A new evolution to the perennial best-of-the-best cloth the Mark Pomerantz House has access to. Our seasonal Noble Fiber offering is introduced in its inaugural launch, designed by and exclusively for Mark Pomerantz, in partnership with Fratelli Tallia del Fino.

Woven in a Wool, Silk & Linen Prince of Wales plaid with a palette of sea foam, turquoise, and cobalt. The shading was exacted to balance wear with raw denim in midnight or white, or breezy solid linen trousers. Dress it down by layering with a t-shirt and rolling the sleeves up.

A subtle and chromatically playful twist on the season’s festivities, this black orchid jacquard offers the perfect formal summer silhouette. Woven in a weft-stretch super yarn that is lightweight, wicking, and taunt, it will leave you creaseless and flexible during the most active party moments.

Suggested in the season’s double breasted silhouette with cloth covered buttons and styled with a semi-sheer voile self-stripe shirt in white-on-white or black-on-black.

Finer, longer, and softer than the best cashmere, this ultra light 210g wool offers an unparalleled hand, with weft stretch natural performance. An ideal cloth for keeping cool in warmer temperatures without sacrificing suit-up suaveness.  

Experience a cloud-like depth of softness and comfort in this range of perfected solids. 

Exquisite is the singularity this cloth offers. There is no better quality or value in this weight class than Supreme Lana. Balanced in construction and buttery soft to the touch, this collection is presented in two parts — a super 170s with lively designs and colors, and a Super 200s in deliberate classic solids.
