Armorique Collection: when The Nines sets sail with Alex Cormac

Autumn 2025 marks a new chapter in The Nines' history with the launch of the Armorique collection, the result of a collaboration with Alex Cormac. Inspired by the ruggedness and beauty of the Atlantic coasts, this collection unveils an autumn wardrobe that is both bold, elegant, and deeply contemporary.

From Normandy to the cliffs of Scotland, the pieces in the Armorique capsule breathe sea air and capture the energy of the elements.

A breath of character for autumn

With Armorique, The Nines and Alex Cormac celebrate the power of the elements. Each piece stands out through its silhouette and details: the pinstriped double-breasted suits evoke in turn the nonchalance of Serge Gainsbourg, the audacity of Gatsby, and the confidence of Al Capone. This capsule doesn't merely revisit classic style: it reinvents it with a contemporary sartorial spirit. Autumn thus becomes the stage for a powerful wardrobe, where rigor and freedom intertwine to create silhouettes that are both structured and fluid.

The collection is distinguished by its deep and natural colors, which echo the shades of the ocean and moorlands. Navy blue recalls the swell, grey evokes sea foam, green the moss on rocks, while brown and burgundy warm up in the glow of the setting sun. This palette gives Armorique a strong identity that is immediately recognizable, while remaining versatile for autumn silhouettes.

Shirts: elegance tailored to perfection

The Armorique shirts perfectly embody the spirit of the collection. Inspired by horizon lines, they showcase bold patterns, from striking stripes to reimagined gingham, bringing intensity and character without ever sacrificing elegance. The cuts are precise, the fabrics soft, and the finishes impeccable, designed to be worn like a second skin.

Designed to navigate between everyday life and special occasions, these shirts embody The Nines' sartorial craftsmanship. Structured collars, Neapolitan cuffs, and subtle details reflect meticulous attention to every element. The soft flannel and wrinkle-resistant treatment of the fabrics guarantee comfort and practicality, while English seams and stainless steel collar stays ensure durability and impeccable hold. Armorique thus offers shirts that establish themselves as true statement pieces in the masculine wardrobe.

Suits: between heritage and modernity

The suits from the Armorique collection are masterpieces. The chalk-striped double-breasted suit, inspired by the traditional pinstripe suits of the City of London, transcends eras to assert itself today as a symbol of distinction. Popular among iconic figures such as Al Capone and Serge Gainsbourg, it conveys seriousness, style, and confidence to its wearer.

Crafted from 100% virgin wool flannel weighing 270 g/m², sourced from the renowned Italian house Vitale Barberis Canonico, this suit offers warmth, fluidity, and comfort for mid-season wear. The cuts blend structure and lightness, while every detail, from the lapel to the trouser crease, reflects uncompromising refinement. Available in grey and navy blue, it pairs equally well with a striped shirt or a double-breasted blazer for a bold and elegant appearance.

Double-breasted blazers: British elegance revisited

An icon of the masculine wardrobe, the double-breasted blazer in Blackwatch tartan is one of the collection's most remarkable pieces. Its historic pattern, navy blue and deep green, draws its roots from Scottish military history before being adopted by the British aristocracy. Designed to combine elegance and comfort, it is crafted from soft flannel by the Italian house Lanificio Campore and stands out with its fitted cut, soft shoulders, and double-breasted fastening reminiscent of 1930s naval blazers.

Versatile, it can be worn over jeans and a sweater for an urban look or with a grey or navy blue suit for a formal style. Half-lined, it ensures freedom of movement and lightness, embodying the perfect balance between tradition and modernity.

Flannel trousers: comfort and style

The autumn trousers complete the collection ensemble with elegance. Heir to English silhouettes from the 1920s, they are crafted from flannel composed of 90% wool and 10% cashmere, guaranteeing warmth and softness. Their high-waisted, structured cut elongates the silhouette while asserting character, and they come in four colors: navy blue, brown, beige, and burgundy.

A true sartorial chameleon, these trousers pair equally well with a turtleneck sweater for a casual look, with a shirt and blazer for formal attire, or with a suit for a sophisticated style. Each piece is designed to accompany the modern man in all situations with comfort and refinement.

Flannel safari jackets: the spirit of adventure

The flannel safari jacket embodies the adventurous spirit of the Armorique collection. Designed to face Atlantic winds, it retains the essence of the safari jacket while reinventing itself for autumn. Half-lined, it ensures comfort and structure, with soft shoulders and a slightly fitted cut. The sartorial details reinforce its hybrid character, halfway between military wardrobe and sartorial allure. A statement piece, designed for free spirits and lovers of bold style.

A collaboration synonymous with boldness

The Nines x Alex Cormac capsule embodies the perfect balance between rigor and freedom. Each piece combines vintage inspiration with contemporary silhouettes, for a bold style that exudes both audacity and elegance. Whether through shirts with intense patterns, double-breasted suits, or tartan blazers, Armorique represents a sharp vision of modern sartorial style.

Autumn thus reveals itself as a season of power and identity, where every detail matters and every garment tells a story. The Armorique collection is an invitation to navigate between tradition and innovation, to dare style with confidence, and to embrace the raw elegance of the Atlantic coasts.

With Armorique, The Nines and Alex Cormac offer more than a collection: a universe where sea, wind, and earth meet to inspire a resolutely modern autumn wardrobe. Autumn 2025 is thus placed under the sign of confident elegance and quiet strength, that which a garment designed to last and transcend seasons with style confers.
