Bold suits for women with something to say.
WOMEN WITH SOMETHING TO SAY
You're about to step on stage. You're about to launch your new business. You're about to receive the industry award. You're about to enter the boardroom.
You are there because you have something to say.
Make that statement with Kadwood.
THE AUSTRALIAN SUIT™ UNRESTRICTED
A suit for the way we live here.
We believe Australia deserves its own suit tradition. Made for curves, with room to move. Lightweight enough to reach for all year round. Useful, because your day asks more of you than standing still.
For a rugged country and a life with places to go. So you can step into the room, take a breath and get on with what you came to say.

Preface · Erin Kadwood
Sydney, 2018
I look at the suit almost like a vase. It's strong and utilitarian. The woman then gets to be the flower. Her femininity can bloom whilst being held by something with strength and structure.

Size YOU
Your body was never the problem. Standard sizing is.
Size YOU. A size defined over a conversation, not a number.
You do not need to change your body to belong in a suit. We begin by listening to the woman who will wear it.
How you move. What feels good. What you want to walk into next. Then we take the measurements that belong to you.
Meet us at the Shangri-La, Sydney. Discovery sessions are available worldwide. Begin with a conversation.

Material · The Cloth
PLAIDS, TARTANS AND MERINO
What touches your skin stays with you all day.
There is a quiet pleasure in cloth that feels good against your skin. You notice its softness, its weight, the way it moves with you.
Pure wool is breathable and natural. We choose Australian Merino, cashmere and pure silk for the feel of a day spent wearing them.
Then comes expression. Bold heritage patterns, tartans, houndstooth, plaids and expressive prints. Cloth chosen to hold its character under intense stage lighting, and to feel like you when the lights go down.
The Experience · Private Suites
THE DISCOVERY SESSION
High above the city, away from the world.
Ninety unhurried minutes to be heard. In a safe, private space, you can settle in, touch the cloth and talk about what you want.
Come alone, with friends or with the kids. There is room for your life here. You do not need all the answers before you arrive.
At the Shangri-La, Sydney, the city carries on below while we take our time. Discovery sessions are also available worldwide.
This is where your vision takes physical form.
Why Now
You have people you trust with the things that matter. Your wardrobe deserves one too.
Your accounts have an accountant. Your hair has someone who knows it. Your legal work has a professional you can call.
Yet getting dressed can still be the thing you have to work out alone. The morning search. The almost-right jacket. The next event with nothing that feels like you.
Kadwood is your tailor. Someone who learns your life and stays in the conversation as it changes. A relationship you can return to. Start here.
Expectations · The Journey
WHAT TO EXPECT
Built around your calendar and the stage ahead.
A made to measure garment of this magnitude is never rushed. We recommend connecting well ahead of your keynote, book release, television premiere, or corporate milestone.
From your first private session at the Shangri-La or international partner suites, the cadence is deliberate. We take the time to understand your calendar, the lighting of your stage, and the physical presence your message requires.
The creation window generally spans eight to twelve weeks as your individual pattern is prepared and your garment is made in Prague. When we meet for your second private fitting, every proportion is perfected to your movement.
