Prince of Wales check wedding suit with a boho vibe

On our blog, we have already mentioned the classic boho-style wedding suit. Another version has also appeared – in a windowpane check pattern. Today, we present an exceptionally mature and sophisticated option – a boho wedding suit in a Prince of Wales check.

Legendary British pattern

The Prince of Wales check, also known as ‘Glenurquhart plaid,’ has existed in the world of clothing for a long time. The pattern gained global popularity roughly a hundred years ago, thanks to the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII, and after his abdication – the Duke of Windsor). Adored for his style, Edward VIII was often seen wearing the distinctive check, which eventually became known as the Prince of Wales check. 

The check is characterized by intersecting stripes, most often in white and black, over which an additional overcheck in the windowpane style is clearly visible, which, in its most classic version, is blue. Up close, this pattern is highly distinctive, whereas from a distance it appears subtle and hard to notice.

Boho-style wedding suit for the groom

A suit in the exceptionally charming and legendary Prince of Wales check will be a thoughtful and mature choice for the groom on his wedding day. This distinctive pattern perfectly fits within the boho convention, which values creativity, naturalness, and the freedom of self-expression.

The presented set

Our recommendation for grooms is the spectacular grey Phoenix wedding suit in a Prince of Wales check. This single-breasted suit features notch lapels, flap pockets, and slim pants of the perfect length. We’ve paired the checked suit with a classic white shirt with a semi-spread collar, a burgundy tie with a micro-pattern, a silk pocket square with a bison motif, and brown leather Blake monk shoes.

What fabric is this?

The featured boho wedding suit in a Prince of Wales check is made from 100% wool flannel, sourced from the renowned British mill Alfred Brown. Choosing flannel is an excellent idea for the colder seasons. Suit fabrics originating from the United Kingdom — the birthplace of such textiles — are a rarity on the Polish market and well worth attention.
