Tips in Buying your First Bespoke Suit

You are planning to have a custom suit for the first time? We have some important tips for you. Suits are a bit pricey because it the fabric for use is not that just a fabric, but a quality fabric that you can wear your suit for like years! And because suit is an investment do you agree on that? If you are buying a suit specially if it’s custom clothes, you have to spend money. Why? Because bespoke suits or clothes should last upwards of 10-20 years with proper care. Of course. It will last long and you can wear as long as the size still fits you. 😊

1.Right Fabric

Fabric quality can make or break a suit, so it’s important that you’re buying a quality fabric that can last several seasons. A wool suit comes in different levels of textile quality and different mills produce myriad results. The wool is often referred to by its super quality — Super 100s through to Super 150s and beyond. Fabric fitness. Fabric quality can make or break a suit, so it's important that you're buying a quality fabric that can last several seasons.

2.The perfect jacket

It should be Fit from the shoulder first, check a neat waist and a slim sleeve. These are three important things you need to check & know when buying a suit and dealing with a suit tailor. As long as these three things are perfectly fit, then your jacket should fit accurately and look modern.

  3.It’s all about the legs

Trousers should always drop gracefully against the shoe & the most desirable look is to have a soft break at the front of the trouser and not at the back. Shorter trousers with no break and a cuff are also fine but you have to think twice about wearing this style as for me it’s not good looking if you have anything but slim legs.

4.Waistband

This area should always be a little bit of space, it should not very fit. Waistband and trousers should fit snugly across the hips. A tight waistband will not only be uncomfortable but will pull at your skin enlarging your waist, which is never a good look, of course.

    5.Color

Finally, the “Color” Choosing color when it comes to clothes is not easy, you have to consider what’s color suits you It is very important to choose a color of suit that you can wear any occasions or event or even in just a normal office day. The common color is black and you can never go wrong in black remember that 😊. However Grey and navy can be more interesting than black and look good against most complexions. Patterned grey and bright, plain navy suits are popular colors that are trending for winter season.

 

CHOOSING RIGHT FABRIC FOR YOUR SUIT

When it comes to deciding or choosing what fabric is best when it comes to buying a suit is complicated but it is very important. Because suits symbolize sophistication and offer a chance to showcase personal style. A suit should be chosen not just because its superior luxurious or expensive but fabric selection is a must. So be Ideal and wise.

There are only a handful of fabrics designed for suiting, which makes the decision easier, but certain factors must consider when buying the perfect one.

There is the breath ability of the fabric. In summer, the fight is on against the sweaty-back. Then old man winter blows on in and the casual stroll to work turns into a run, brought on by sheer determination to keep warm for the chilling cold.

Fabric softness is a second factor. Who wants to be enraged by itchy suit pants? Or feel trapped, tight and unable to move because of an over-starched jacket that is likely to snap if pushed too hard?

The solution for most men is an education in suit fabrics.

WOOL is the most popular fabric choice for men due to its versatility and refined aesthetic. Wool is a natural material, which means it breathes well, and can be worn both in the heat of the day or the cool of the night. It is soft and wrinkle free but is sometimes criticized by those wanting lighter, more slimming fabrics. Common wool types include tweed, flannel, cashmere, merino and worsted.

COTTON is the second most popular fabric for suits and is derived from plant fibers. Cotton suits move and breathe well but tend to crease easily, which can make the suit look sloppy. They are satisfactory when it comes to softness but lag behind in the luxury department when compared to wool fabrics. LINEN suits are super lightweight and maintain their coolness in soaring temperatures. However, linen wrinkles easily and stains even easier, meaning it requires regular dry cleaning to maintain a fresh, crisp look.

POLYESTER is made from synthetic materials (not natural like wool) and is deemed lower quality. It usually comes blended with another fiber, such as wool, in order to cut costs. Suits made from polyester tend to wrinkle (more than wool but less than linen) and have a reputation for not breathing very well. Polyester produces more fabric shine compared to wool and cotton, making the suit look cheap.

5 WAYS on How to Tie A Necktie

Most men use one or more tie knot. It a small piece but can create a big impact in our outfit. I think most men specially in corporate world use neck tie but not all know how to wear or put in the right way. So below are some helpful ways.

Here are the 5 ways on how to tie a necktie

1.Four – In – Hand – Knot – a method of tying a necktie. It is also known as a simple knot or school boy knot, due to its simplicity and style.  

2. Nicky Knot – is a method of tying a tie around one’s neck and collar. It is also known as the Shelby knot and the Pratt-Shelby. The knot was created by Jerry Pratt, an employee of the US Chamber of Commerce. The knot was considered revelatory although strictly speaking it is a variation on the Nicky knot, notable for being tied inside out.

3.Half Windsor Knot – also known as the single Windsor knot. This is an easier version of the traditional Full Windsor knot. It is larger than the four-in-hand knot and Pratt knot, but smaller than the Windsor knot. The half-Windsor is derived from the Windsor in that it is only brought up around the loop on one side rather than both. It works well with light- and medium-weight fabrics.

4. Full Windsor Knot – also referred to as a Full Windsor or as a Double Windsor to differentiate it from the half-Windsor, is a method of tying a necktie. The Windsor knot, compared to other methods, produces a wide symmetrical triangular knot.

5. Kelvin Knot – it is a small knot similar to the four-in-hand, with an extra turn to make it symmetrical. The knot is tied “inside-out,” with the seam facing outward as it drapes around the collar. When finished, the thick end of the tie, the knot, and the shirt collar hide the seam from view.
