  • The Waistcoat Issue

    Updated: 2010-07-30 00:43:09
    The waistcoat renaissance was rather rashly dismissed a few years ago as a passing trend. As with other trends, critics opined ‘that for which there is little need, there will be little life.’ Men’s clothing is different to women’s clothing in this regard. Women’s trends can be unpredictable, their longevity irregular. Handbags are never needed [...]

    Back in the 80's Madonna's unique style blended confidence, power and femininity and inspired a generation of young women hungry to be taken seriously. Her ability to create trends, inspired by her outlandish music videos and own unique wardrobe, confirmed her status as an icon for her generation. Thanks to Madonna, the 80's became a time where women could wear a diamond studded cross, worn with a bra and bangles. er most adventurous and outrageous outfits include - the le [...]

  • Vintage Find: Vintage Southwick Suit – $39.99

    Updated: 2010-07-28 05:00:09
    The world of eBay is a strange and interesting place. I’ve found some nice items and some not so nice items there and have not visited in a spell. It was just about a week ago today that I started thinking of what I can do to build on the upcoming fall suiting. I was [...]

    Updated: 2010-07-28 00:00:00
    One of our directors, David, went to a Courvoisier Cognac event earlier this month, where they had a great little sartorial gift to go with their drinks - tie pins! David had a great time and particularly enjoyed the bouncy castle, the chocolate Fois Gras and of course the lovely Courvoisier drinks.  avid wore an Ivory jacket with a purple shirt and purple pocket square to match. Below is a picture of him looking suave with his Courvoisier tie pins.  nbsp; [...]

  • The Pocket ‘Flower’

    Updated: 2010-07-27 22:05:45
    In my recent article on the velvet bow tie, I wrote of the antipathy of an acquaintance towards what Wilde famously referred to as the “only link between Art and Nature” - the buttonhole. What was once worn by all who could afford it is now merely an eccentric habit of a tiny few; spotting [...]

  • Vintage Find: Le Tigre Polo

    Updated: 2010-07-27 05:00:30
    Being on the dole will never stop me from purchasing a great find. Especially if it’s one under $10. I am a huge fan of polo shirts in the summer. I’ve covered a few great finds from Old Navy here before and although I still stand by the Old Navy polo as an excellent choice [...]

  • Don’t Ruin Your Silhouette

    Updated: 2010-07-27 04:29:48
    A silhouette is the outline of a solid object. When applied to male attire it refers to the (hopefully pleasing) outward appearance of a man’s clothed shape. Michael Anton, writing under the pseudonym Nicholas Antongiavanni, very artfully stated in The Suit that “the virtue of tailored clothing is that it improves a man’s rudimentary shape.” [...]

  • The Cartier International Polo

    Updated: 2010-07-27 00:00:00
    This weekend the Cartier nternational olo  as held at Guards Polo club in Windsor. It is one of the summer's most prestigious events; it attracts many Hollywood A-listers, celebrities and even royalty. The weather was great, so we got to see some great summer styles; my particular favourites were the linen jackets and suits, worn by many of the notable guests. We offer some great linens, I love this pure blue linen for a full suit; Linen-300. But if you just wa [...]

  • Cuff You

    Updated: 2010-07-26 05:00:13
    It’s hot outside. So hot that I barely want to leave the air conditioned apartment. This nasty weather has, however, presented me with an opportunity to experiment with a new, looser style so my body can breathe more than suffocate. I was watching POLLOCK by Ed Harris the other day and realized that if there [...]

  • The Right Short Sleeved Shirt

    Updated: 2010-07-25 06:47:20
    My recent article on the Sartorial Love/Hate of rolled up jacket sleeves caused some decent debate about the practice. It also inspired some thought on rolled up shirt sleeves to which I pinned my colours of allegiance, at the expense of short sleeved shirts. A friend of mine noted this and asked, rather touchingly, what [...]

  • Basic Jewelry For Your Work Wardrobe – Pearl Necklace

    Updated: 2010-07-24 23:40:10
    I'd have to say, the most basic jewelry you can accessorize a woma's business suit with is pearls. A pearl necklace is a tried and true accessory that never goes out of style - it's classic and elegant. Jewelry and accessories can do a lot to give personality to a business suit, but when building a professional work wardrobe, the first thing you should get is

  • Cardigans With Casual Work Outfits For Summer

    Updated: 2010-07-24 22:48:57
    In the summer when it is too hot to wear a jacket with your business suit, a cardigan could be an option to throw over your shoulders in the evening if it gets chilly when you go out with friends after work.

  • The Velvet Bow Tie

    Updated: 2010-07-23 00:17:10
    The duty of wearing black tie is avoiding individualism; refinement is permitted, adornment ill-advised. Most men are not interested in adornment, so the act of wearing what every other man is wearing is actually rather comforting to the majority. As fussy and funny as the ‘t-shirt and shorts’ man might think black tie, when he [...]

  • The British Grand Prix – looking at the style

    Updated: 2010-07-23 00:00:00
    With temperatures having soared lately, Silverstone turned up the heat by hosting one of Formula 1's hottest events: The British Grand Prix. If you were lucky enough to hold a ticket into the F1 paddock, you would have seen people looking and feeling cool in their smart attire. Our half-lined jackets are perfect for the hot days we've been having; pairing that with one of our summer shirts would have been perfect! I would have gone for a smart casual look by wearing jeans [...]

  • Hey London, those ping pong tables really suit you...

    Updated: 2010-07-23 00:00:00
    This month you might be surprised to find suited workers across London engaged in games of impromptu ping pong. The summer madness has been brought on by the installation of 100 ping pong tables in the city's public spaces by Sing London, the organisation behind last year's street pianos project.Ahead of the trend as always though, A Suit That Fits ' staff have a well-established tradition of post - work ping pong.

  • Meeting Alan Flusser, Part 4: Alan Flusser And I

    Updated: 2010-07-22 05:00:25
    A mere two years ago I would never have thought what this blog would eventually become or the places it would bring me to. I was first introduced to Alan Flusser’s books through my tailor Matt at Imparali. He suggested I read up, educate, and follow through with said books. And so I did. Gradually [...]

    What a crowd. What a well dressed crowd. I walked away with so many ideas after being around these stylish gentlemen that when I went home post event I rethought my entire palette for fall suiting. Amongst the crowd mingling were some top bloggers including the boys from Street Etiquette, one of my own personal [...]

  • Do You Know Your Lapels?

    Updated: 2010-07-20 00:00:00
    Do you know your lapels? Here at A Suit That Fits we take pride in informing our clients about the fine details of a well cut individually hand tailored suit. The finest of these details rest somewhere in between the more conservative and well known notch lapel (image below right), and it's counterpart, the infamous and more stylish peaked lapel (image below left) which has always been associated with dinner jackets and double breasted suits throughout the decades. 

  • Meeting Alan Flusser, Part One: The Custom Shop

    Updated: 2010-07-19 05:00:38
    Midtown Manhattan for the most part is a drab place. Everything there is very gray and looming and even on the sunniest days it still seems a bit cloudy. Interiors lend to harsh florescent lighting, cubicles, and computer stations. But in the midst of all this there is a small oasis tucked away just off [...]

  • Relighting Take That’s fire - Robbie Williams is back for good!

    Updated: 2010-07-19 00:00:00
    Robbie Williams confirmed that he will be re-joining Take That later this year; early reports suggest that their new single will be released in November. I thought I would take the opportunity to give the newly reformed band members an idea for some suits they could start designing! Whilst I think about some cool suit ideas for the band, my initial thought is that a great 3-piece would cool for them in this grey toned fabric- then they'd be perfectly on-trend this season! Here is [...]

  • This Fall, Channel The Duke

    Updated: 2010-07-16 11:39:20
    I attended an event at Alan Flusser’s Custom Shop this week and in many conversations the Duke Of Windsor had come up quite a bit. Though most of us mere mortals cannot afford all the luxuries The Duke was blessed with we can always take sartorial cues from one of the masters. Fall is probably [...]

  • Style Doctor

    Updated: 2010-07-15 00:00:00
    Women regularly get teased for the amount of clothes they own or how many times they change their outfit. Well, Dr Who puts us all to shame - he changes his whole body! This new season has seen the Doctor transform once again, accompanied, (of course), by a brand new look, and I have to admit, I think it's quite dapper. Similarly to David Tennant's doctor, he's gone for the ‘heeky chappy' smart-casual, except this time the converse are gone and in their place we find red braces, a bow [...]

  • The elegance of pocket squares

    Updated: 2010-07-14 00:00:00
    Recently I was watching Step Lively with Frank Sinatra, and was struck by his superb attire - as usual Frank was dressed to perfection. However, it wasn't just his suit that caught my eye, but his pocket square. It's always been stated by men of taste and elegance that a tailored suit is deemed [...]

  • Express Your Individuality With Jewelry

    Updated: 2010-07-10 07:08:05
    Do you feel restricted by having to wear a business suit for work every day? Well, if you are bound by business attire they way to express your very own fashion style is with jewelry. Accessorizing with your very own unique style of jewelry is where you can take license and be very creative.

  • Semi-final Suit Off Round Two!

    Updated: 2010-07-07 00:00:00
    Last night saw Uruguay's World Cup dreams fade away at the hands of The Netherlands 3 goals to 2, despite Uruguay being the better suited team! Maybe tailoring justice will be served this evening in the battle between the seemingly unstoppable Germany and semi-final novices Spain. So, who stands to fair better in the battle of the suits? Semi-final veterans Germany sported a dark suit, white shirt and grey tie which is a smart, if not slightly predictable, combination! Their opponents also we [...]

    Team Edwards vs. Team Jacob? - that question over the two Twilight heartthrobs has many a teenage girl hitting the forums, throwing their two cents into the debate. But ere at A Suit That Fits, the premier of the new Twilight film raised a different question  who looked better, eam Edward (Robert Pattinson) or Team Jacob (Taylor Lautner).  There’ no doubt, Robert Pattinson took mo [...]

  • “Smart Casual” - The Dreaded Dress Code

    Updated: 2010-07-05 00:00:00
    When you receive an invite to a function or event, most people are filled with dread when they read the words: "Dress Code: Smart Casual". It neither asks people to dress formally in a dinner jacket or casually in Bermuda shorts and t-shirt. Hopefully after reading this, it will give you an idea as to what is deemed 'acceptable' for the most ambiguous dress code around. How Smart?It really depends on the event or place you are going to.
