Celebrate the distinctive character of mohair
The finest cloth has always balanced heritage with progression — respecting the traditions that came before, while responding to the way we live today.
Capetown by Standeven embodies this philosophy, bringing together the timeless sophistication of vintage-inspired design with the modern benefits of responsibly sourced natural fibres.
Created using the finest South African mohair alongside luxurious Australian merino wool, Capetown is a bunch that celebrates the distinctive character of mohair while embracing a more considered approach to cloth.
A heritage of natural performance
Mohair has long been valued for its exceptional qualities, this natural fibre offers breathability, durability and a distinctive lustre, while its natural crease resistance helps garments maintain a sharp, refined appearance.
Combined with premium wool, Capetown delivers a cloth with structure, comfort and resilience — qualities that have made mohair a favourite within fine tailoring for generations.
Available in two-ply and three-ply constructions, the collection offers depth, durability and versatility across a range of tailored garments.
Where vintage inspiration meets contemporary design
The elegance of mid-century style continues to influence modern menswear, with its confident silhouettes, considered details and timeless approach to dressing.
Capetown draws inspiration from this era through a carefully considered selection of designs, including refined plains, classic checks, Glen checks, puppytooth and Barathea constructions.
Alongside these timeless patterns, the collection also introduces more expressive designs, including graphic two-tone “mod” influences and innovative mohair denim, offering a contemporary interpretation of classic cloth.
Responsibly crafted for the future
As expectations around responsible sourcing continue to evolve, natural fibres with traceable origins are becoming increasingly important.
Capetown has been developed using responsibly certified materials, bringing together sustainable South African mohair and premium wool to create a collection that reflects a more thoughtful approach to luxury cloth.
It represents a new generation of fabric — one where craftsmanship, performance and responsibility exist together.
Designed beyond the occasion
From refined suiting to versatile jackets, Capetown has been created with flexibility in mind. With weights ranging from 290g to 490g (10–17oz), the bunch provides options suited to different styles, seasons and occasions.
Its combination of natural comfort, durability and distinctive character makes it a cloth designed to be appreciated not only for how it looks, but for how it performs.
Timeless sophistication, responsibly woven
Capetown captures the essence of modern luxury: a respect for heritage, an appreciation of craftsmanship and a commitment to moving forward.
Inspired by the past, crafted for today, a bunch that proves timeless style and responsible choices can go hand in hand.
Vintage-inspired elegance, crafted from responsibly sourced mohair and wool.
