Whether he's the leader of the free world or the leader of a multinational corporation, well-dressed men the world over are looking to Hickey Freeman. Inspired by designs worn by a singularly historic group of American heads of state over the last 50 years, Hickey Freeman's designers have revisited their exceptional archives to create the ultimate in modern styling and luxurious materials - The Presidential Collection.

For over 100 years, Hickey Freeman's dedication to the finest craftsmanship and world class quality had provided the wardrobe for the political leaders of the United States. Presidents such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon Baines Johnson and George H.W. Bush have all taken advantage of the drape of the finest quality yarns and the appeal of an American suit carefully designed and made by hand. Our Country's leaders at all levels, including Vice Presidents such as Hubert Humphrey, Walter Mondale and Al Gore, along with numerous Senators, Governors and Mayors have chosen the iconic style of the Hickey Freeman suits to convey the authority of their roles.

Hickey Freeman is the oldest of luxury brands handmade in the United States. Hickey Freeman is well positioned to bring unique authenticity and noble spirit to each modern design in the Presidential Collection. Hickey Freeman's designer Bruno Castagna explains, "This is great clothing for the leaders of business and politics. Our goal was nothing short of redefining the classic power suit of our era for our genuinely discerning customers."

Each exceptional suit reflects a 21st Century interpretation of the very best in quality and style for which the brand is known. The significance of this collection required two years of development, to gather images from not only the archives, but also television and movies to determine the details that would set the collection apart.

The collection begins with the silhouettes. They are reflective of power and success, and echo the sartorial elegance of the past. The ultimate look, however, is perfect for 2009. Jackets feature two and three button, double breasted silhouettes. Pants are designed with a modern flat front or double reverse pleats.

The selective fabrics are woven of the finest cashmeres and wools with a high level of texturization. They are modern fabrics with a vintage, classic feel. Several are exclusive to Hickey Freeman; new interpretations of elegant stripes, exaggerated twills and glen plaids in rich autumnal colors with an American point-of-view. Crafted entirely by hand, the Presidential Collection reflects the passion and skill of the American craftsmen who create them.
