Collection: Remus Uomo

Belfast, not Milan

The Italian name misleads a lot of people. Remus Uomo is not an Italian brand — it was founded in Belfast in 1991 and is still owned by Douglas & Grahame, a family menswear house trading in Belfast since 1924. The name is a nod to the family's affection for Italian tailoring, not to where the brand comes from. It is a genuinely Irish tailoring house, run by the third generation of the same family, now stocked by more than 400 independents across Ireland and Britain.

What Remus Uomo does well

Fit, mainly. Remus built its reputation on formal tailoring and that discipline carries into everything else — the casual shirts are cut with more shape than most, the chinos cleaner through the leg. You get working sleeve buttons, half-canvassed jackets and considered lining at a price well below the designer labels.

How to wear it

A navy Remus blazer over a plain shirt and chinos covers almost every occasion between the office and a meal out. The polo shirts and knitwear work under a sports jacket without bunching, and the shirts handle both a tie and an open collar. Click and collect available on everything.
