3000€).”>The traditional costume tailor- made ​​entirely by hand, but it is still expensive (> € 3000) . In addition , in recent years , a new form of “tailor-made ” has grown : it is called ” industrial half-measure ” to be precise. The approach is the same: we define a style ( choice of fabric , lining , cutting , collar type , etc. . ) And taking action is performed. But the suit is then cut and assembled in the factory. In short , the advantage of “tailor-made ” regarding customization and ready- to-wear that is the price. Such a suit costs between € 750 and 1000 , barely more than a suit ready to wear the “tailor-made ” is a wise choice for a wedding : it allows for a nice suit , which falls perfectly , that is comfortable and meets precisely the style and theme of the wedding taken using color elements on the lapel or the lining. And it also helps to have some fun !

time

If you are moving to this choice carefully consider the fact that making a bespoke suit takes time because there are several steps : the first visit, the time of manufacture, the first fitting , alterations , and finally delivery. Allow at least one month ! Ideally 2 to be able to make any adjustments . But these are quite interesting stages where Mr. learn a lot about its morphology and costumes, a nice moment in the preparations !

Where to go ?

Attention all that glitters is not gold ! And all signs of bespoke is not the same ! Some offer low range fabrics , and experience that will assist you and take is very important measures. We tested a number of providers , and we will recommend particular brands like Artling , Faubourg Saint Sulpice , Handson , Johann Michael Ohnona Scabal and Samson .

What style?

Look at their lookbooks , choose from the style of dress you want ! Some brands are traditional , others more modern . In terms of color, blue or gray suit most weddings. You can even opt for a three-piece suit for the occasion! Practice in more detail : unlike your dress you will have trouble resettle a weekday , Mr. reuse may well suit his or her vest .

Men and costume

I have not approached the subject purely masculine long . I will talk today about men and suit, or exactly how much wear the costume .

We meet more and more young men in cheap custom suits and personally I think it’s great . By cons , some ( young and old ) need advice as I can see, unfortunately , many do not know how to wear a suit and be stylish .
Indeed, it is not because we put a jacket and matching trousers that is chic .
I regret indeed , poorly cut suits, too big , bad quality , bad finishes, outdated , inadequate colors, etc …
According to its size and shape , we chose the costume suitable . The trousers must not be too wide or too narrow or too short especially ( sorry ) . Men a bit much, choose a pleated trousers , long legs opt for a size slightly down , not too low anyway. , Short legs prefer a tall ( optical effect to lengthen the leg).

The shirt should extend jacket

The jacket makes the whole outfit , it must not be too large ( shoulders lost in the middle of the jacket is awful) or too narrow ( strained buttonholes , how awful ! ) . Long busts choose a jacket too long , short busts , however, offset the imbalance in their silhouette with a slightly longer jacket. Men a little strong opt for a jacket with two rear slots and single breasted . Thin men can wear a double-breasted jacket , they are back in fashion .
The setbacks pants are designed for tall and thin men.
Small choose pants close enough to the broken leg , and on the shoe.
A man must have several bespoke  suits for different circumstances : work, evening appointments matter.
The suit ” every day ” should be simple and elegant, sober color can agree with many shirts and ties . Quality must be beyond reproach . It ensures the lining and seams , it does not come with a suit to the disjointed lining and seams released .
It must have at least two costumes work in his dressing room.
The charcoal gray and navy colors are ideal .
Armani

We look at the labels : the fabric must have a high percentage of wool ( winter dress) .
The Kooples
Finally , the better (eg Hugo Boss, Cerruti , Armani, The Kooples ) worth investing in a great brand to be sure to cut and finishes, to be sure also to keep for years as long to choose a classic cut . Enjoy balances …..
The shirt must go beyond the collar of the jacket and sleeves ( about 2 cm ), otherwise it’s too big jacket borrowed from a friend ….. If you buy your shirts , you pay attention to the height of the foot neck , short necks take a mile narrow neck , long necks , instead, choose a foot high collar. The shirt should be in a natural fabric (cotton , poplin ..) , comfortable, which is good ( absolutely avoid the polyester or nylon fabric type , brand and that it’s bad )
The tie has a color pattern must match the shirt , the tip reaches the ceinture.Une tie united agrees with both the shirt and suit.
We forget the ties knit leather ( worst faux leather ) , lace and tie. A beautiful tie is silk.
To accessorize all , choose a leather belt , matching the shoes.
Men a little strong can turn to the straps , but avoid the ” funny ” reasons, unless you work in the pub …
The shoes are of great importance .
The derby and brogue shoes are to possess. Moccasins are more sports, boats are without socks , summer , seaside , that’s it! Shoes ” deer ” are reserved for weekends. The suit is worn with leather shoes , fine quality and always waxed .

How to choose a Custom SUits for man unto his stature?

generally not a good look.

Although fashions change , but there are questions of taste and common sense must be followed at all costs not to look ridiculous in a suit two or three pieces .

Issues relating to size are the root causes of errors of taste on
masculine look .

The size of the jacket is evaluated according to the shoulders of a person .

80% of people buy jackets that do not match their size and give them drooping shoulders and a look frankly unflattering .

Not to confront this kind of boring details , simple and effective techniques can be made.

With the right hand or the left hand, it is possible to recognize whether a jacket is too big or not.

Pressing arm lets see if the jacket is pile- hair to the right size or not .

An empty feeling more than 5 cm confirms the idea that it is certainly too high .

Thereafter , it is useful to raise the arm to the horizontal width and look of the jacket above the waist.

Again, pressure must be exerted .

If the sensation gives the effect that the jacket is too wide then you must opt
for a slightly curved at the model size .

As regards length, a suit jacket must cover the backside, and until the
commissure of the thigh.

The size is more flexible in the pants. Whether actual waist , buttocks , thighs or bottom hem , everything can be changed .

At the tissue level , it is more appropriate to opt for standard materials such as linen or
polyester because both are good temperature controllers .

There are also costumes Cheap 70% viscose and 30 % polyester or 55 % polyester and 45 % viscose.

Color side , the choice should be a first choice of grays, navy blue or black.

However , more and more designers offer costumes displaying clearer and detonating colors like gray striped suit and blue turquoise Kenzo , beige and pink costume with Ozwald Boateng or black suit with a red edging seen in Givenchy .

For those who do not want to go to a lighted with their colleagues can opt for plain dress with colorful as in models from Ozwald Boateng lining.

Finally, it should be noted that to avoid errors of taste , should never involve a cheap custom suits
beige cream a light blue shirt , for example for people who have a complexion white style

And the time to try it, at least when you have found the probable elected if you are not adept with bags or folders, put all the junk that wont load into the pockets of the suit to see how it looks, because you will use it with all of them will not?

Changes with the history of men’s fashion

One of my favorite issues is the observation of new uses, changes and trends in relation to custom made suits. And above all, relations of these changes with the history of men’s fashion. Tonight, a few prospective always with this new condition of youth including myself for clothing collar studs.

I found, for five years now (I remember especially when the election of Mr. Sarkozy, supported by an uninhibited youth) that the door polo high collar, that is to say, not down collar not pressed by mom. The brands themselves happily communicate in this way as Vicomte A. or Hackett. If at first I thought an epiphenomenon, I am less convinced, as the high-necked clothes grow.

Just to be convinced to browse catalogs. And the centerpiece for three seasons is the shawl collar sweaters, which is found in all sauces, propelled higher by the Ivy style trend. That’s two.

Note the classic among classics is also on the pull-shirt with zip or buttons, often with a collar to give warm fireplace. Same idea with Danton collar jackets, which Arnys is quite familiar, or even some trench coat with such necklines.

The idea is the same and often synonymous with comfort, warmth. Because these collars around the neck, protects, without using a scarf. They are perfect for the back end, when you can not accurately predict the temperature it will.

But beyond that, I can not help thinking that the non-down collar shirts are synonymous else. Then qu’évidement worn summer, the heat requirement does not feel. First, it is a bit arrogant, at least very self-assured. It was characteristic of the gilded youth of the Sarkozy era, VA polo neck top with RayBan. But secondly, let’s look further. If we go back a little history of clothing, low necklines are an anomaly. Before the soft collar on shirts, high collar … rose very high. They surrounded almost entirely neck, like a chimney. And before that, in the Romantic era, they were synonymous with nonchalance along with comfort. Imagine there is Byron and Goethe with a low pass?

Therefore, the high collar does not appear to me as a twaddle of fashion, but a little something remarkable and disturbing … And if that was the premise of something, a major new cycle of cheap custom suits, to bring comfort (always the same) of ‘sport-chic Italian? What do you think?
