Crown Northampton Drops Veg-Tanned Goatskin Capsule Collection

Crown Northampton has unveiled a new capsule collection crafted with Tusting & Burnett, the North Bedfordshire tannery they’ve worked with for decades. The collaboration features rare veg-tanned goatskins sourced from a cooperative in Northern Nigeria. These hides are hand-tanned with Begaruwu seeds from Nilotica trees, twisted during the process to create a natural grain pattern unlike any other. This is a material with its own sense of terroir.

The line includes two standout leathers: the long-established “Mad Dog” and “Sokoto,” an African goat leather whose pattern recalls sourdough or Dutch Crunch bread, available in both full-grain and nubuck. Crown has applied them across three of its Jazz Range styles: the Regent Wholecut Shoe, the Artizan Belgian Slipper, and the Adnitt Gat Shoe.

Each pair promises a patina that deepens with wear. Prices start at $285, available exclusively from Crown Northampton.

What’s the Difference Between a Dinner Suit and a Business Suit?

In GQ, Jeremy Freed unpacks the nuances of tailoring in this piece, explaining how different occasions call for sharply different approaches to suiting:

As anyone who’s tried to parse the meaning of “black-tie optional” or “smart casual” on an invite knows all too well, there’s no such thing as an all-occasion suit. Some suits are better for the office, some are perfect for summer weddings, and others are designed to match the heightened refinement of a formal event. Common sense goes a long way to understanding the differences (you probably wouldn’t rock a breezy linen ensemble to an important business meeting), but a lot of it is a matter of terminology.

While part of the fun of building a tailored wardrobe is becoming conversant in barchetta pockets and pagoda shoulders, you don’t need to memorize a stack of vocabulary flashcards to look great in a suit. What you do need, however, is an understanding of the most common types of suits and which one is right for any given occasion. Here are a few of the most important varieties to know.
