OUR PLATINUM, GOLD AND SILVER LINES OF TRUE CUSTOM CLOTHING:
In the world of suits and jackets there are three “Elements” that make up the “Quality” of a garment. The Fit, The Construction and the Fabric.
While the ready-to-wear industry, and even Made-to-Measure (semi-custom) tailors will focus you on the quality of the Fabric, the truth is, the Fit and the Construction are the most important elements. Why? Because people “size you up” from across the street by the “fit” of your clothes. As you get closer, they “dismiss you” as “Less than” when they see wavy lapels, twisted shoulders, puckered sleeve heads, lapels that turn over, collar felts that show, and a jacket that “drapes” more like a shirt than a jacket: a symptom of compromises of “quality of construction”!
The Fabric, is for you, for your enjoyment. If you can afford not to compromise in the Fit and the Quality, by all means, treat yourself to a fabric that feels rich and luxurious. However, there are plenty of great English and Italian fabrics that will look and feel good and last forever that are reasonable in price. Remember, the Ready-to-wear industry can’t provide you with proper fit because the suits are pre-made for someone of “average” posture and measurements that may hardly resemble your own! The less you understand, the better. Nor, can they give you good “quality of construction” in a world where 95% of suits today are fused, (glued together) in order to keep base costs low, allowing for point of sale affordability, while manufacturers, wholesales and retailers are all doubling and tripling their costs to move the merchandise to you.
