About this design
The Mboppi set combines a band-collar jacket with matching trousers. What sets it apart is the off-centre closure, fastened with metal clasps instead of ordinary buttons. The front stays smooth, almost architectural, while the upright collar frames the face. It is a confident outfit that needs no tie, and plain or pinstriped fabrics keep it understated.
With an off-centre closure, any imbalance shows: the overlap must fall straight, without pulling across the chest or gaping at the stomach. Tailoring to your measurements is the surest way to get that balance. A Douala tailor makes both the jacket and trousers to your size, then KOUTIVA checks the finish and how the clasps sit before delivery.
Styling tips
- Wear the jacket closed: the line of clasps is the heart of the design.
- For the office, cream pinstripe with a white shirt feels light and crisp.
- Chocolate gabardine works beautifully with cognac shoes for a warm tonal look.
- Try two fabrics: a midnight blue gabardine body with a green and gold tweed collar.
Choosing your fabric
Midnight blue or chocolate gabardine is right for weddings, dots and the office; cream pinstripe suiting is the lighter choice for the dry season, and green and gold tweed suits cool evenings.
