    • ShirtsUsing only the finest long yard Egyptian cotton, all our shirt fabrics are woven in Italy. Distinct and unique eye-catching trims are a signature of Trotter & Deane and allow our shirts to make a statement when worn open necked. Contrasting stitching and button details draw attention to the quality and add interest to the overall look.
    • KnitwearOur casual collection features high performance outerwear, fine gauge merino knits and cashmere/cotton zip necks.
    • JacketsThis season’s collection features a selection of natural fibres from our favourite Italian mills, Loro Piana, Vitale Barberis, Reda and Solbiati. Blends of cotton, soft wool and textured tweed.
    • OuterwearAdaptability and sustainability are features of this season’s collection. The majority of models include a zip out front panel for that extra layer of protection, comfort and style. These designs work equally well being worn casually or in a more formal way.

Formula One Commentator Ben Edwards to Wear Trotter & Deane

December 4th 2019

F1 commentator and racing driver Ben Edwards being fitted for a tailored tuxedo at Trotter & Deane in Bury St Edmunds

Formula 1 racing commentator, Ben Edwards will wear Trotter & Deane evening wear at a prestigious motor racing awards dinner.

Fresh from putting down his microphone for the last time this season as the 2019 F1 Championships came to its conclusion in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, the Channel 4 F1 commentator was in Bury St Edmunds for a final fitting of his tuxedo with owner, John Deane-Bowers ahead of The Guild of Motoring Writers’ annual black tie dinner.

The long-established event is to be held at the Royal Automobile Club on London’s Pall Mall on Thursday and will be attended by the crème de la crème of motoring journalistic talent. Alongside the dinner, the Guild will also present their annual awards, announced by Edwards himself.

With his tailored dinner jacket and trousers, the former racing driver is sure to take pole position in the style stakes.

A regular customer of Trotter & Deane, Edwards can often be seen wearing our garments in the pit lane in his role as the voice of Formula 1 for Channel 4. He joins Sky Sports presenters Nick Knight, Nasser Hussein, Michael Atherton and Freddy Tylicki in wearing T&D at some of the top sporting events in 2019.

Earlier this year, Channel 4 announced a deal with Sky to extend their current broadcast rights deal for the 2020 season, so expect to see more of Trotter & Deane’s contemporary men’s fashion at the world’s greatest race circuits, cricket grounds and racecourses as we start a new decade.
