A suit that is born according to a person’s different temperament, body shape and preferences is the perfect suit. If you can clearly understand these personal elements, it is not difficult to be a perfect sportsman according to international standards. However, it is really not easy to make every detail correct and have your own unique taste. Fortunately, compared to women’s clothing, men’s wardrobes are more inspired by history. Especially for suits, from the beginning of their birth, all changes are actually innovations in details.
Fabric
This is the detail that reflects the value of a suit! A good suit must choose the best wool fabric, and the raw materials must come from the best origin. Black is a traditional and classic color. No matter what the occasion, you can never go wrong with a high-quality black suit. Nowadays, striped fabrics with various weaves provide more choices, which also greatly increases the possibility of matching with shirts and ties. Also gray is often overlooked, but highly recommended – it makes you both professional and humane.
tailoring
In addition to the fabric, the quality of the suit is of course the cut. This is not just the legendary “version”. Classic suits all use the so-called “canvas tailoring” method, that is, there is a layer of hand-sewn lining between the fabric and the lining. In order to maintain elasticity, materials such as horsehair are also added. This is the soul of a suit. In most suits today, this lining is directly bonded. They may look stylish, but they are likely to deform once they are dry-cleaned at high temperatures or worn for a long time. And the adhesive lining is not breathable, which will show you the color in the summer. Today, there are very few suit manufacturers who can insist on hand-sewing linings. Even many top brands often only use them on first-line products.
To know whether a suit has a hand-sewn lining, just pick the hem, hold the front and the inside with both hands and pull it apart slightly. If you feel that there is another layer between the two layers, congratulations, you have picked a good suit worth investing in. ! Of course, the workmanship of fusible lining suits is definitely relatively cheap. It depends on how you understand the meaning of a suit.
Buttons
Today, most suits have plastic buttons, which come in many colors and at low cost. But those classic suits will still insist on looking for buttons with some traditional textures. For example, one kind of button is made from Italian specialty nuts. The pulp is removed, the core is used, and then it is sliced, polished, and drilled, all by hand. In addition, if the cufflinks are spaced a lot apart, they must be mass-produced products processed on the assembly line. The cufflinks of a classic suit must be closely spaced, which signifies the value of genuine hand-stitching.
Collar
The choice of collar type is a matter of opinion. Everyone can choose a different collar type according to their own preferences. But basically the collar type determines the style of the suit, and the effect will be very different: for example, the lapel bartack can visually adjust the height, tall people can choose a lower bartet, and vice versa; In general, Asians have larger and flatter faces than Westerners, so wide collars are more suitable. The extremely narrow collars that are currently fashionable may only look good on handsome models, and may not be suitable for everyone.
But, in fact, Chinese men still need to learn a little bit about suits. After all, it’s only in the past hundred years that suits have become the protagonist in Chinese men’s wardrobes, not to mention the intervening generations of green and blue work clothes. Just by looking at the clothes, even The Devil Wears Prada would have a hard time telling whether the girl in front of him is from Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, Beijing, or Shanghai; but when traveling overseas, everyone can tell who the girl is just by her clothes. The man is from the mainland.
