Globally recognised as one of the greatest soccer players of all time, Brazilian born Pele..born Edson Arantes do Nascimento and named after inventor Thomas Edison scored 1279 professional goals and left an unmatched legacy. He famously catapulted the acrobatic backwards bicycle kick into worldwide popularity during a 1968 match against Belgium, showcasing the unique artistry that defined his career. The pinnacle of his international dominance came during the 1970 World Cup final against Italy, where he led Brazil to its historic third World Cup title and permanently cemented his status as an eternal icon of the beautiful game.

Effortless summer luxury, refined for the everyday. We layered a sun-faded Polo Ralph Lauren Striped T-Shirt beneath their iconic Custom Fit Oxford, offering that perfect, lived-in prep vibe .The focal point belongs to the Beams Plus 2-Pleat Madras Trousers, featuring an authentic, breathable Indian patchwork check that brings a rich, three-dimensional texture to warm-weather dressing. The look is elevated and completed by a Beams Plus mesh belt made from carefully woven brown cowhide leather and the hand-stitched Sebago Joe Modena Suede Loafers in rich brown, featuring a classic metal horsebit detail.

From Southern India to Ivy League campuses.
Madras fabric hails from Chennai (formerly Madras), standing as the most recognisable cloth in Ivy League style.
During the 1960s, Madras was everywhere. It wasn’t limited to shirts; it shaped soft-shouldered Ivy jackets, trousers, narrow square-end ties, and casual shorts. Yet, its most iconic form remains the Madras button-down shirt.
Genuine Madras is woven on narrow looms. Multiple yarns produce rich, diverse plaid colours with tiny, distinctive flecks.
Like raw selvedge denim, authentic Madras develops a beautiful patina, softening and lightening with each wash to become uniquely personal to you.

The horsebit loafer revolutionised menswear when it debuted in 1953, turning a casual moccasin into a formal staple.
Today, we pay homage to that legacy with the Joe loafer.
Named after one of Sebago’s three founders, the Joe is crafted from luxurious suede and leather then finished with a classic metal horsebit, handstitched apron, and a premium leather sole.
It is heritage craftsmanship, reimagined with a modern vibe.
Slide into a classic.!
