What to know about Walker Slater
Tweed treated as everyday tailoring
Harris and Donegal tweeds, herringbone and check jackets and three-piece suits are cut in traditional weights and muted colours rather than as country costume.
Scottish cloth is the starting point
Collections are built around British and Scottish woollens, with moleskin and corduroy trousers alongside waistcoats and overcoats.
Sold direct, not through wholesale
The brand reaches customers through its own Edinburgh-based shops and website, while showing regularly at Pitti Uomo in Florence.
How Walker Slater fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Walker Slater's tailoring tends to run trim and structured in a traditional British style, fitting close through the chest and waist with a relatively slim silhouette.
Tip: Consider sizing up if you're between sizes or plan to layer, as the tailoring is cut close.

Brand facts
