How to take care of Men’s Custom Suits?

Custom suits have more personal value to the owners. Because they are specially designed according to the fitting of a person, they are comparatively costlier than their similar fabric/design counterparts.

No wonder, everyone would like to know about the points to take care of these suits.
We detail about some below:

- Your custom suit needs dry cleaning, not cleaning. Water and soap agents may erode the surface texture of the suit. Having said that, it is also to be ensured that Customized clothing should not be subjected to dry cleaning often.

- Always use an ergonomic hanger or a pad to hang your customized clothing. Cheap plastic hangers warp the shoulder pads

- Use a fabric brush to brush your custom suit on regular basis.

The Men’s Tuxedo

The word tuxedo conjures a picture of a formal black bow-tie, a cummerbund, and the typical black jacket. This formal tradition might not seem like it leaves much room for personal style but the truth is, there are choices other than the classic tuxedo that are just as suitable for black tie events.

Here are a few options that meet the sartorial benchmark:

  • The traditional tuxedo: Your most classic tuxedo features a single breasted piece and usually a notch, shawl, peaked lapel. The satin strip may at times be wider (up to an inch) but half an inch seems to be the norm. Grosgrain facing instead of satin looks updated and elegant.
  • The morning suit: This take on the formal black tie garment features a solid black tailcoat and a striped trouser. The look was made popular amongst horse riders in the 19th century but is now suitable for more formal situations.
  • Contemporarily styled tuxedo jackets: It’s the ‘designer’s creativity’ on clothes! Mandarin Collar, Spencer, and Velvet Jackets are all options that can add a great sense of refinement to anyone’s black tie ensemble.

The traditional tuxedo is a timeless look, but there are other options for the gentleman that wants to add his personal touch.

A style perspective in order of what really counts

1 The Suit. A classic suit is the most powerful wardrobe piece you can arm yourself with. Never out of place and always classic in single or double-breasted. Fit is everything when it comes to suits.

2 The Dress Shirt. It's the second most important and powerful arrow in your wardrobe quiver. Choose the more-formal white for total power, followed by pale blue, and then an array of colors and patterns. Cotton is king and dress shirts should always be worn with complementary ties.

3 The Sport Coat or Blazer. Custom tailored, of course in luxurious wools and silks depending on the season. Almost as powerful as the suit, the jacket is your passport to personal expression style. Every jacket can be paired with at least three trousers-a light, a medium and a dark color.

4 Trousers. From the dressiest of wools to the most casual of cotton or linens, the trouser takes center stage with an unlimited array of colors, patterns, solids and a host of personal styling options from pleats to flat front to pocket and cuff details. There is no concession of comfort when you choose custom tailored trousers.

5 Tailored Casual Shirts. These awesome shirts are tailored just for you in a plain or patterned styles. Bolder colors and patterns, to be worn with or especially without a tie add a European sophistication to your wardrobe. Consider wearing these great shirts over a knit shirt or "t" shirt in a complimentary color.

6 The Knit Shirt. With styles running the gamut from polos to turtlenecks, its versatility just keeps growing and showing when worn under a jacket or layered under a tailored casual shirt.

7 Shoes and Belts. From the dressiest of suits, to the most casual of trousers the shoe certainly supports the whole package. Matching shoes and belts is the rule. The dressier the outfit, the dressier the shoes should be.

8 Coats & Outerwear. From Chesterfields and classic topcoats to car coats with just enough length to cover the suit or sport jacket an all-purpose and all-weather coat is essential wardrobe wear.
