Tips on Buying Custom Suits From Harry the Tailor in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 26, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​​​​​If one has never had a suit custom made, they are in for a treat. At Harry the Tailor, they create a suit that is high quality, will last for years, and fits to a “T”!

Below are some helpful tips on buying a custom-made, or bespoke suit and shirts.

·      Use color, but do so wisely. Don’t be loud about it, but if one wants to make a color statement with their tie or socks – great choice. Or they can go with a light blue dress shirt, or low-key striped shirt with very light purple, blue, or gray stripes.

·      Bespoke means the suit is tailored to fit – there will be measurements as part of the process. Don’t try to stand or sit differently than usual when thinking about someone taking measurements. Relax.

·      Don’t select something too stuffy for style. The suit should make one look good, but not like it would put someone on a pedestal.

·      Don’t let the trends factor too much into the fit. Choose middle of the road options that look good on the physique. Doing so gives a timeless air to the custom suit.

·      Shirting fabric should be low-key. White dress shirts are classic, solid light blue, or subtle stripes work well for most businesses.

·      Choose a fit comfortable to wear doing regular activities. If one sits all day long, make sure the tailored trousers are not going to dig into the waist from morning until night.

·      For some of the items that are not as large of an investment – pocket squares, ties, socks, etc. break out a little bit with pops of colors or patterns. At Harry the Tailor, we can help men and women choose if they have fashion concerns.

·      Choose versatility in fabrics. Navy and medium gray suits are recommended for the first purchases. That’s because they go with just about anything, and if one needs to wear the same suit a few days in a row, no one is going to pay any attention. Just switch the shirt and tie and they’ll never know one is repeating the suit

·      When buying a dress shirts, know how and where to wear them. Just like a tailored suit, there are a lot of choices. There are different weights and textures, and each can serve in different ways. Talk it over with a consultant and tailor.

·      If getting elbow pads, make sure they are dark, probably a shade or two darker than the dress suit color. When they get a bit worn, presumably the reason one is having them added, they will appear a little lighter; this way they continue to blend well with your jacket.

·      Buy the second pair of trousers – and consider getting the vest too. Trousers get more wear and tear, so they wear out faster. Being able to switch back and forth between two pairs makes each pair last longer. With a vest, sometimes one wants to continue looking businesslike, but won’t necessarily want to stay in a custom suit jacket all day long.

·      If moving into a power position in the company, one can be a little more aggressive with their dress suits. But they probably will also buy a few more of them to add to their wardrobe.

·      Listen to the tailor and make notes about how to care for the new hand-crafted luxury wardrobe. Like any investment, there is some upkeep one needs to follow.
