Thomas Mason: Where British Tradition Meets Italian Refinement

When history, heritage, and modern innovation converge in the realm of shirting fabrics, one name consistently rises to the top: Thomas Mason. Originally founded in England in 1796 and now woven under the expertise of Italy’s Albini Group, Thomas Mason shirts are worn by C-suite executives, private equity magnates, and family office principals who view their wardrobe as an extension of their influence.
At Lapels Bespoke, we tailor Thomas Mason fabrics into shirts that do more than complement — they command attention quietly, with British elegance and Italian charm woven into every thread.
A Legacy of Sartorial Excellence Since 1796
The Thomas Mason name is steeped in tradition — with over two centuries of experience, the mill has served nobility, statesmen, and aristocratic circles across Europe and beyond. Its archives are among the richest in the world, with fabric patterns and textures dating back to the 18th century, inspiring modern designs that honor tradition while embracing contemporary aesthetics.
Now operating under the Albini Group, the brand fuses British heritage with Italian innovation, producing fabrics that are luxuriously soft, impeccably crisp, and meticulously engineered.
