A Check Wedding Suit
Tailor’s Notes
Whether you are a groom or a guest, in a cool English church or on a distant tropical beach, here are few tips for you to consider when dressing for a wedding. It is perhaps a blessing and a curse that there are now fewer rules on how to dress for such an occasion. A blessing because rules can be dull, a curse because they can also help you to navigate a potentially volatile sartorial minefield. Happily there is one universal truth that applies to all ages, shapes and sizes whatever the occasion: while fine tailoring always flatters, fashion sometimes does not. And this example, by one of our customers, is an excellent example
The Construction
Made with a canvas, the suits are British made and cut. As much of the suit as possible is hand tailored. As with every suit we make, unless you choose our Express service, the suit will take 8-9 weeks to make – we have a half way baste fitting and then a forward baste fitting before the suit is finished and delivered. The cloth is from Spruce Fabric (London), who tell us, “Wool is forever; everything else is a trend.”
