What an honor to dress Chef Serigne Mbaye for such a special New Orleans night.

At the North America’s 50 Best Restaurants ceremony , hosted here in our city, Dakar was named No. 4 in North America and Best Restaurant: South USA 2026. A huge, deeply deserved recognition for Serigne and the entire Dakar team.

For the evening, we made him a riff on the classic tuxedo: black wool trousers, a crisp white shirt with our mother-of-pearl studs, our handmade-in-Italy bow tie, and a dinner jacket in an Ariston fabric with a golden-mustard bouclé. The fabric felt like a subtle nod to the warmth, depth, and beauty of his food.

Congratulations, and . Thank you for trusting us to play a small part in the moment.

Wool, silk, linen. Our favorite trio. This particular blend, from Hardy Minnis’ Summer Breeze collection, as seen here in our safari jacket and trouser set, is woven with slub effect “imperfections” that are so charming. All the fabrics from this historic Savile Row favorite brand are woven in Huddersfield, England, which is one of the few places in the world with the perfect water for finishing wool.

We loved making this suit for Alex’s wedding. This fabric is a bi-stretch wool that drapes beautifully. Congrats to the beautiful couple!

Sonny wears an overcoat cut in a Balmacaan style. A classic defined by clean, unfussy lines, and no shoulder seam. Cut here in Dorchester lambswool from Hardy Minnis in England. Paired with a suit its polished, but would look just as good on top of jeans and a knit.
