What it is

The Balthazar is SALVE’s men’s single-button peak-lapel evening jacket for cocktails, receptions and dinner. A cleaner waist than Dumas and jetted pockets give it a sharper evening line. The peak lapel supplies the emphasis, leaving room for a simple shirt and formal trousers. A useful answer when the invitation calls for a little more.

Questions people ask
Do I need to come to a shop?

No. SALVE has no shop. A cutter comes to your home or office in Gurugram, takes eighteen measurements and brings six swatch books.

How long does it take?

Fourteen days from the measuring visit, with one fitting at day eight.

What if it does not fit?

The fitting at day eight is there to catch it. After delivery, alterations are free for twelve months, and if the cut is our mistake we remake it at our cost.

What do I pay upfront?

Fifty per cent at order and the balance on delivery. Nothing is charged to book the visit.

Do you work outside Gurugram?

Not at the moment. The bench is one cutter and nine jackets a month, and the visit is what makes the fit work.

One hour at your table. Two weeks to wear it.
