The images below show the other type of hook and bar that can be sewn on with small, neat buttonhole stitches around the loops at either end. It is best to test different types on small scraps of your fabric to determine if it will suit the needs of your garment. Bear in mind that you will also have a more secure fastening if the hooks and bars are secured to a strong internal layer, rather than just only being attached to a layer of fabric. So this could mean using strong fusing or a layer of interfacing or canvas as an under layer and attaching your hooks and bars through the fabric to the structure underneath. Also known as side-tabs, these are found on trousers with no belt loops as a tightening mechanism. Traditionally seen on tuxedo trousers.

Some minefields and ten-foot bargepoles here. Whether one looks old-fashioned, contrived, stiff, or anachronistic depends on so many outside factors, most of which bear no relation to tailoring or the clothes themselves. Celebrities, for instance, get away with anything. Because people don’t just look at the clothes. They look at the wearer. Found on the center of the yoke of some dress shirts, this is a small section surrounded by two pleats on either side that allows further room for movement. An Italian fabric mill headquartered near Naples. Known for high quality and fabrics that often appeal to the dandy set. That’s a reason why sartorial brands trying to market their softer, relaxed sprezz outfits base their marketing on photoshoots of tousle-haire young men out on the town, and not young men in the boardroom. Ambience is nine tenths of the sartorial game. I won’t mention names, but Drake’s is one example.Abbreviation of “cut, make, and trim,” which refers to the labor portion of suit making price structures (the other portion being cloth). The angle of the shoulder line. May be regular, sloped (shoulders angle downward) or square (shoulders form a 180-degree line). Shoulders are often not of the same slope on a customer. And a cloth that was soft enough to be happily cinched, but also heavy enough to have drape and flow when untied.

The vertical line that runs from a trouser’s thigh down to them hem. Ideally, it will bisect your knee.Popularized by Brooks Brothers, this is a type of shirt collar in which the collar points button to the shirt itself. A more casual shirt, it requires longer collar points to achieve a handsome “roll.”

A pre-made pattern that is used to create standardized garments, either mass-produced or made-to-measure. I like to think I’ve learnt a lesson here. Experiments are fun, but it’s very frustrating and expensive when they don’t turn out as intended. US ) A double-ended vessel, generally of stainless steel or other metal, one end of which typically measures 1½ fluid ounces (approx. 44ml), the other typically 1 fluid ounce (approx. 30ml).

Buttonholes and buttons could be added to the front at any point, making it look and function the same as a normal double-breasted overcoat. A lapel style in which the lapel juts outward and upward toward the shoulder. Typical of evening wear, morning dress, and non-business suits. Whenever possible, I find it’s best to build on something you’ve seen elsewhere, rather than starting from scratch. To restrict experiments to things that are less expensive (relative to what you have available to spend). And to make them reversible, or at least adaptable.

Term referring to a garment that has been made almost entirely by hand based on a pattern created exclusively for the customer, often with the stipulation that 50 hours of handwork are necessary to earn the title “bespoke”. The Savile Row Bespoke Association also states that the suit must be made on or around Savile Row itself to be considered truly bespoke. I have been partial to the traditional DB blazer since the age of fifteen or so – I love its traditional aura and its masculine, chest-broadening effect. Who exactly decided that it is stodgy and makes one look like “your father or a fat cat banker”? The hipsters in their shrunken suits that make them look like ventriloquist’s dummies? Besides, what’s wrong with looking like your father? My father was one of the best dressed men I know, and I try to emulate him while at the same time cultivating my personal style. A strip of fabric sewn to the insides of trouser bottoms to give them additional weight and thus improved drape. A style of bow tie with two narrow ends of equal width. One of the most popular bow tie silhouettes.Why is this? Well, primarily because a DB has cloth that overlaps at the front, and therefore when it is not done up, there is an excess of material at the front that can flap around.
