  • Blazer Issues

    Updated: 2010-04-29 10:51:20
    For reasons I can’t explain I seems to have the greatest trouble dressing a Blazer. This may sound an odd admission given that the blue blazer is about as flexible a garment as you can conceive, and why it is generally recommended that every man has one. Being an Englishman my preference is for the double [...]

  • Sartorial Love/Hate: White Jeans

    Updated: 2010-04-29 00:14:28
    “Eurgh!” the women bleated, contorting their faces as though in receipt of an unpleasant smell “White jeans on a man? Awful!” Being a man who wears, and enjoys wearing, white jeans I was rather put out. Never a man to back down from a conflict I asked why, in the wonderful but also rather terrible [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MensFlair/~4/vKv_AvuPXP0" height="1" width="1"/

  • The ordering process

    Updated: 2010-04-29 00:00:00
    Here at A Suit That Fits.com we have the pleasure of being, for the large majority of our first time customers, their first bespoke tailoring experience. Such tailoring is relatively uncommon for the average man on the street, and there can be a lot of confusion surrounding the process of a ordering and fitting a bespoke suit. In this blog post I will cover the ordering process, from initial consultation to final fitting.

  • House Party dance off pants

    Updated: 2010-04-27 00:00:00
    If I asked you to name a famous dance off from a movie, you might remind me of such movies as 'Bring it on', 'Breakin' or even 'Starsky and Hutch'. But these are mere mercenaries compared to the greatest of all dance off movies, 'House Party'. This 1990 smash hit had everything, style, substance and even the running man. Some people say it's the greatest movie never to win an Oscar, I say, an Oscar wouldn't do this film justice.One of the reasons the dance off is so truly brilliant is [...]

  • Shots of Color

    Updated: 2010-04-26 15:43:04
    So as summer weather begins to creep into our lives, the fresh, light colors of spring get a bit more intense and any outfit lacking in a dash of color seems out of place. But, that dash can be anything from a pink sportcoat and some go-to-hell trousers (quite a large dash), to something as [...]

  • Darth Vader Suit

    Updated: 2010-04-26 00:00:00
    It's very rare in our bustling Sun Street office that we have any time to do anything other than kit out our city customers in fantastic suits, but on the occasion when we do get a spare minute, our conversations are usually of a sartorial nature. This Thursday me and my team of style advisors were discussing what Darth Vader would wear, if he was one of our customers. While, the Imperial Overlord of the Universe does not wear a bespoke tailor-made suit, but, if he did, we have decided tha [...]

  • What’ll It Be Sir, Patterned Or Plain?

    Updated: 2010-04-25 11:55:57
    One of my elderly relatives gave me some excellent advice in relation to ties; “The misconception” he said “is that ties need only complement the shirt, not the suit.” He advocated that shirt, tie and suit needed to be considered alongside each other to achieve the most satisfactory results. “A suit” he continued “is not [...]

  • The Humble Pocket Square

    Updated: 2010-04-23 17:42:18
    It has always struck me as odd how something as small and innocuous as the pocket square polarises opinion. Oft-maligned, I think this fairly esoteric accessory deserves a little more respect. The problem – as with so many less commonly worn items – is that, on the few occasions when one is worn, it is [...]

  • The Politics Of Dress

    Updated: 2010-04-23 01:56:26
    One of the many things for which President Obama has received praise is his dress sense. Sadly, that is not something any of the Prime Ministerial hopefuls in the UK General Election will have to endure. It seems that in modern British politics there is no place for style, flair, individuality or even quality. The requirement [...]

  • Countdown to Cardiff: No. 2, Tom Jones

    Updated: 2010-04-23 00:00:00
    As comfortable in a pair of Speedos, as he is in a suit, Tom Jones could never be accused of not dressing to impress, and moreover of not being able to pull it off! nbsp; ertainly in my lifetime, I can't think of another Welshman (and few others of any other nationality, to be fair), who has the sex appeal and panache of Mr Jones, even Elvis used to go see Tom in concert!But of all the old crooners, from Rod Stewart to Barry Manilow, none of them sported a [...]

    Updated: 2010-04-16 00:00:00
    Peg legs are without a doubt this season's hot new trouser shape, appearing on several international runways including Stella McCartney and Chloe, and are the perfect style-conscious choice for those of who like a tailored look. There's no doubting their fashion credentials, but with all that extra fabric around our bums and thighs, are they cool and edgy or should they be thrown overboard? Peg-leg trousers are double pleated at the waist and then taper [...]

    For about two years a pair of black casual style brogues from Aldo have been sitting in the back of my closet.
