- Two generations Wim Possen from 1969, Bas Possen from 1999
- Custom-made exclusively, since 1999
- Italy · Scotland · Ireland · Japan where our cloth is woven

Ceremonial

Black tie or white tie, an anniversary, a stage performance, a vernissage or your wedding day: whatever you have planned, we help bring it to life.
-
“When you showed me the warm red cashmere and wool soft flannel fabric from Holland & Sherry I fell for it straight away.”
-
“Our wedding event in Ireland was insanely beautiful. Thanks for all the great outfits.”
-
“Our Tuscany wedding was all we wished for. Thank you for my dark green wedding suit and of course also the marvelous goldenrod jacket with off-white chinos for the day after.”
Product navigators
Know what to wear
Finding the right piece for an occasion, or knowing which suit or coat to pick, can be difficult. Our guides tell you exactly what to pick, and when.
Sustainability
Made to order, made to last
Since 1999 everything we make is made to order: cut for one person and made to last for years. Fashion that is less cyclical, more transparent and personal.
-
Production
Made to order and cut on demand, so nothing is overproduced: designed to be worn, and re-worn.
-
Material
We aim for natural, renewable fibres, produced as fairly as possible, moving towards certified fibres and away from synthetics.
-
Transportation
Semi-finished garments and trimmings travel by train or sea rather than by air freight.
-
Partnership
Ateliers and mills chosen for their pattern and energy efficiency, with working conditions that are safe and humane.
-
Packaging
Packaging only when it is needed, without plastic, or recycled where there is no alternative.
A little know-how goes a long way: wash less and air more, and have a tear repaired as soon as it appears, or simply drop it off with us.
