An expertly cut trench coat or an unassuming slouchy leather tote are unmistakable signatures of fashion label The Row. But the small but important details that you only notice if you look closely? The label gets every one of them right, too.

Nowhere are those exacting standards of quality more visible than in a suit. Take the Mazzy jacket – a double-breasted blazer cut from fluid wool – that offers a softened take on traditional tailoring. The butterfly lining makes it easy to layer over a shirt or leave open over a rollneck. See also a shawl-collar jacket, landing on the MR PORTER shelves later in the season, that’s finished with a single covered side button for a wrap-like construction.

The shirts are every bit as intentional, too. This season’s cuts have slightly longer sleeves and are deliberately left a tad longer at the hem, which relaxes the formality in the most considered way; the micro stripes are so fine they read almost as texture in the cloth, while knife and box pleats at the back keep the fit easy but still refined.

Cashmere and wool sweaters have thick ribbing at the neck, cuffs and hem, which hold their shape nicely. A grey marbled style, one of our highlights, is knitted in a fisherman’s rib with a mock neck. Even the jersey T-shirts feel carefully studied in proportions, with the ratio between the slightly dropped shoulder, longer sleeve, body and length so finely balanced, that even the smallest change would make a big difference.

Textures and cuts really do the talking: the nap of the wool, the grain of the leather on a bag, the drape of a jacket or trousers that moves when you do. Speaking of bags, the offering includes anything from a grained-leather document case with a single silver clasp to its weekend counterpart, a generous and unstructured tote – with leather so supple it falls into its own folds.

These small nuances are where the confidence of The Row lives in. Those who are in the know will clock them across a room – everyone else will just wonder what you do to look so well put together.
