Matters
What you wear affects your self-confidence, your chances
of feeling comfortable on your big day and impressing
that special someone - and her family! A superior
suit with bespoke accessories is essential for any
groom who wants to create the right impression and
let his attire speak volumes about his personality
and sense of style.
Bespoke suits have a real impact. They're cut for
the individual and are as unique as you are. An experienced
tailor will take around 15 accurate measurements of
each customer and advise on colours, styles and cuts
that are well matched to your height, build, complexion,
the occasion you are wearing it for and last but,
not least, your fiancées preferences!
Materials
Choosing a fabric is crucial in the design process
of an excellent suit. Differing colours, shades and
patterns can determine whether a suit is flattering
or offensive. A bespoke suit is typically made from
high-grade fabrics and has some extra material built
into it so if you grow, your suit will accommodate
this, very important if you want to wear your suit
on repeated occasions.
With care, a tailor-made suit will last for decades
and usually lasts two to three times longer than suits
bought 'off-the-peg'. There are hundreds of different
cloths to choose from at Jack Michael, so you'll never
be short of inspiration The weight of fabric and the
colour are very much determined by the time of year
you'll be getting married, the type of occasion, your
complexion and what your leading lady will be wearing.
The Cut Of Your Trousers
The waistline of your trousers should be comfortable
and should allow you to rest two fingers comfortably
inside the waistline. As you tuck in on the big day,
a bit of a comfort zone is helpful! Pleated trousers
suit people with a fuller mid region but should be
avoided by slimmer individuals.
Leg Length
Trousers should reach your shoes and have a slight
break. It is important to take the shoe style and
heel height into consideration when being measured
for trousers - and of course ensure that your suit
and shoes work together.
Sleeve Length
Make sure your sleeve length is right otherwise you
will look like you are wearing someone else's suit.
The sleeve should reach the crease of the wrist, revealing
half an inch of your shirt cuff. Styling features
such as functioning sleeve buttons denote a bespoke
suit.
Jacket Buttons
The jacket should close comfortably around your stomach.
The amount of buttons on the suit (as with the sleeve)
reflects personal preference and the styling you desire.
A good tailor will also consider your height and posture
when measuring your suit.
The classic two-button style remains ever popular
as Nick Caleb showed in our recent elections! Some
two-button jackets offer a fresh twist with higher
button placement similar to the three-button style
which is often more flattering on taller individuals.
Whether your preferred style is classic or modern
you should look for subtle styling and fitting options
that enhance the shape of your body.
Suit Fit & Shape
The classic suit is fitted at the shoulder, full in
the chest and gently contoured at the waist. You should
be able to stretch and move easily in your suit and
allow enough leverage to move your arms. It pays to
invest in a timeless bespoke suit.
Accessories
Bespoke tailoring is not limited to just suits. You
can have shirts, cravats and waistcoats handmade -
to your requirements and specifications - all at a
price you can afford. Our bespoke suit accessories
mean you can complete the look and top off your stylish
suit with a complete and integrated look that stamps
your mark of individuality on your outfit.
