This is the Court of Appeal model: hand-tailored to measure in our Landshut atelier and personalized for you. Cloth, trimmings and lining are fixed for every UPC robe; your one decision is the extent of the lining. Not an interpretation of the court’s robe – the robe itself.

TIMELESS | bespoken Gold Silk (opens in a new tab)77% merino wool, 23% silk, 160 g/m²The richest cloth in our collection — merino wool, refined with almost a quarter pure silk.
The extraordinary fabric TIMELESS | bespoken Gold Silk unites superfine merino wool with nobly spun silk at 160 g/m² (240 g/m) — yarn-dyed and woven expressly for our robes. Its high silk content grants it the noblest lustre within our collection: discreet, yet unmistakably richer than any pure wool cloth. The fine weave gives an incomparably soft feel and a drape that presents the silhouette with quiet style.
Silk is arguably the most precious natural textile in the world. Legend has it that some 5,000 years ago in China, Emperor Fu Xi had the first garments made from this thread — drawn from the cocoons of the mulberry silkworm, to this day the finest source of true silk. By ancient custom, silk was worth more than gold; only the opening of the Silk Road, that legendary network of trade routes between China and Europe, brought it to the West. Whoever wears a robe in Gold Silk today wears the end of that journey.

And silk is not merely beautiful: it is light, holds its shape, insulates against heat and cold alike, stays cool on the skin in summer and barely creases.

Made to Measure – Individually Tailored for You
Every robe is crafted to your precise measurements to ensure an elegant and comfortable fit.
Please watch the video below for guidance on how to take your measurements. Once completed, submit your details in the measurement form.
You may also consult our Fabric & Lining Card to personalize the interior of your robe.
Every figure is reviewed before the cloth is cut. Our atelier in Landshut goes through each measurement, and a doubtful number is queried rather than quietly cut — we measure twice, the cloth is cut once.
Your robe will be individually crafted in Bavaria from the world's finest cloth – tailored not only to your measurements, but to your presence.

Our exclusive robes are masterfully handcrafted from the finest, meticulously selected materials, including yarn-dyed Merino wool, luxurious cashmere, and pure silk.
