The Games Suit at Lord’s Cricket Ground

Lord’s has stood on a leafy corner of St John’s Wood since 1814, when it moved down the road from its original home in Marylebone. This is the Home of Cricket, the oldest in the world, hallowed ground.

What you might not know about Lord’s is that the practice nets are open to the public (as long as you’re wearing your whites), which feels a bit like Wimbledon letting you saunter into the All England Club to roll in a few serves, if you ask nicely. 

To highlight the latest range of Games tailoring, our family of comfortable, versatile and unstructured suiting, we invited members of The Passage Cricket Club to try on some suits, and work their way through a few practice overs. 

“We started in 2011,” says our friend Joe Ridout, one of TPCC’s founding members. “We play our home games in Hackney, with the idea of making sure everyone is having an amazing day out, over being hyper-competitive. (If that sounds like it’s a polite way of saying we lose a lot, then it is, but it also means we’re a team where no one gets an earful for dropping a catch).

“It’s very special that they open the nets at Lord’s to the public,” adds Joe. “We’ve been going for the past decade or so; walking past the ground never gets old. It's the kind of privilege that cricket delivers, from time to time.” 

“Cricket has a habit of making your, day no matter the level. It could be the sudden excitement of a hattrick ball, or finding yourself playing on a first-class pitch in beautiful surroundings. But more than anything, being in the park, playing with a group of dear friends and having a couple of beers on the boundary feels right.”
