Rarely, if ever in our lives, do we as men look for occasions to dress to the nines. That is about to change for you. Off-the-rack suits are not your only option. The art of tailoring has been handed down in families and trains to be alive and available. Once you glide into a meticulously crafted head-to-toe ensemble, visions of James Bond-esque events will dance in your head.
I am not referring to hand-to-hand combat with minions or overthrowing their mentally unstable bosses. What I speak of are refined society events where you will be bumping elbows with influential people of state and business, making strong impressions on those who do not fit in your current circles of influence. An old Greek fable by Aesop tells how to “know a man by the company he keeps”.
I will guess that your current clothing fitment style, like mine, is by general sizes such as medium (M), large (L), or extra large (XL). When it comes to suits, we gauge the fit of a single or double-breasted coat by shoulder, chest circumference, and sleeve length measurements. Completely tailored suits are precisely fit to meet your individual body shape from neck to foot width. Prepare to keep some new company in your midst and paint a different image to your long-term friends.
- A tailored suit can be classically styled or of modern design to match your preference or event type. Custom wedding and personalised business suits or formal attire include targeted styling attributes that make you stand out while standing in every class or event attendee.
- Clever and attentive tailors offer a wide assortment of accessories to fit your personality and suit or event choices. Maybe not an equipment belt or laser-beam shooting watch, but to be sure, you can arrive with a bespoke kit shining from every angle you desire.
- Do not gloss over the value ofproperly distinguished footwear. Shoes are the quickest way to a metamorphosis into the part you want to play. I wear thongs all year round, unless I am exercising. On the rare occasion I need to wrap my feet in a closed-toe dress shoe, I know I am off to a unique affair.
- Youthful memories of seasonal suits revive thoughts of the discomfort, stiffness, and lack of fun we were authorised to have while in our best. Let me assure you, the perfect traditional fabric or technically advanced material is awaiting you and your groomsmen, if that is the case, to provide you with freedom of movement and body temperature regulation. You will not likely find bulletproof lining unless Q is there to give you a briefing.
What I am trying to tell you with too many words is to envision yourself, the community and the enjoyment of the big event, then take that image and hand it over to your tailor, the trained craftsmen waiting to exceed your dreams of large winnings in the casino, dancing the tango with your exotic lover or parachuting into an evil lair without a wrinkle. Having fun looks great on you.
