Erik Peterson’s Royal Classic Collection: Timeless Elegance Redefined

The Erik Peterson Tom James Royal Classic collection focuses on elevated make, precise construction, and refined fabrics that sit above standard custom offerings in the line. The make level typically includes finer internal components, more handwork, and enhanced finishing details, such as upgraded linings and included monograms on shirts at Royal Classic and above.

Construction is oriented toward long-term shape retention and comfort, using fully tailored patterns, structured canvassing appropriate to the garment type, and careful balance through shoulders, chest, and seat for professional wear. Jackets and sport coats in Royal Classic often use higher‑end wool constructions (for example Super 140s in some Royal Classic pieces) paired with quality linings and hand-finished elements that support drape and movement.

Fabrics in the Royal Classic story emphasize luxury mills and higher super counts, such as Holland & Sherry wool qualities and other fine worsteds designed for boardroom and special‑occasion suiting. These cloths are selected to combine a smooth hand, elegant visual texture, and performance appropriate for bespoke-level tailoring, making the collection a strong option for clients who want noticeable upgrades over entry custom programs
