Orchestra gets fitted for custom-made suits

Orchestra gets fitted for custom-made suits

A Belgian tailor is kitting out the Brussels Philharmonic in restructured jackets for the finals of the Queen Elisabeth Competition, with a view to improve their freedom of arm movement.

They say:

The jacket is crafted from a high-performance fabric: breathable, wrinkle-resistant, and highly stretchable. “In its timeless combination of black and midnight blue, it has the look of a classic tuxedo—while offering the comfort of a modern sports jacket.”

In 2010, Brussels Philharmonic first invited Café Costume to take a fresh look at traditional concert dress. The result was a sleek, contemporary look, with each musician outfitted in a custom-tailored tuxedo. In 2016, the first Symphonic Sporting Jacket was introduced: a featherlight, elegant garment designed to support musicians in delivering top-level performances in comfort and style.

Today, this vision takes another step forward: a technologically advanced jacket that combines the best of high-performance sportswear with a refined, modern aesthetic—designed to meet the physical and artistic demands of professional music-making.
