When you think of sharp 1960s menswear, one fabric stands out: mohair. Lightweight, lustrous, and cool to the touch, mohair became the Mod’s suit of choice - especially for those prowling the streets of Soho or heading to a soul club in East London.
Today, at Gresham Blake, we’re reviving that iconic look with a contemporary twist.
Why Mohair Ruled the Mod Era
In the 1960s, Mods weren’t just about music and scooters—they were style pioneers. The mohair suit was their uniform: slim-cut, high-buttoned, and always perfectly tailored. Its crisp structure and slight sheen looked electric under club lights, while its breathable weave made it perfect for all-night dancing.
Whether in classic shades of grey, cool navy, or subtle pinstripes, mohair was the epitome of clean, confident, modern tailoring.
The Return of Mod-Inspired Tailoring
We're proud to offer bespoke mohair suits that channel this era-defining style. Think razor-sharp silhouettes, neat lapels, and that unmistakable Mod energy—cut to your exact measurements.
Choose from a curated palette of 60s-inspired neutrals, muted pastels, or go bold with rich, jewel-toned colourways. Every suit is crafted in British-made mohair from legendary mill Standeven, ensuring quality that lasts.
Modern Mods Welcome
Whether you're a die-hard Mod, a soul weekender, or just appreciate timeless menswear, now's the time to bring mohair back into your wardrobe. With 30% off all bespoke mohair tailoring this month, there’s never been a better moment to suit up like it’s 1965.
At Gresham Blake, we’re all about doing classic in a way that’s uniquely… you. And if ever there were a classic to live up to, it’s the black mohair suit. An absolute essential for those who don’t just dress, they make an entrance.
Channel Your Inner Bond
Now, if you’re going for a black mohair suit, we’re going to assume you’ve thought of a certain British spy once or twice. James Bond’s wardrobe may have evolved over the years, but one thing’s stayed the same: a sharp, tailored black suit that makes no apologies. He’s as serious about his suits as he is about his martinis.
At Gresham Blake, we bring that same commitment to every mohair suit we make. Family-owned with a rebellious edge, we know our way around fine tailoring and a bit of fun. And the best part of going bespoke? We get to take your measurements and whip up something that’s genuinely you. When you slide on one of our bespoke mohair suits, you won’t just feel like Bond, you’ll feel like the best version of yourself. (And yes, that’s better than Bond.)

Mohair: More Than Just Fancy Goat Hair
Mohair isn’t just any fabric. It’s a cloth that demands respect. Made from the hair of Angora goats, it’s what gives your suit that distinctive sheen and crisp structure that wool can’t quite achieve. Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and naturally breathable, mohair is ideal for anyone who wants to move through the world looking sharp, and staying cool while doing it.
No mid-party creasing. No compromise on comfort. Just pure tailored presence.
Standout Cloth, Standout Colours
We use only the best, including Standeven’s world-class Kid Mohair cloth. Choose from three vibrant fabric books:
Carnival - Brights, brights, brights! For the man who knows he’s the main event.
Cape Town - Summer-ready and sharp.
Explorer - Earth tones, deep hues, and bold textures.
Every option is crafted with British cloth, Bond-level confidence, and a sense of fun that’s uniquely Gresham.

A bespoke mohair suit isn’t just a garment. It’s a statement. It’s about entering a room, catching that admiring glance, and giving the kind of nod that says: “Yes, this is bespoke.”
