HOW TO GET THE PERFECT FIT

Having trouble finding the best dress shirts for short men? This guide covers all of your best options. Formal dress codes are increasingly rare, but some guys still need to suit up for work. If you're wearing a tie, getting the collar right is crucial.

Specifically, we'll look at two parts of your dress shirts:
  • Collar: There is no visible gap between shirt and neck (a gap makes you look like you’ve borrowed your shirt from a bigger friend).

  • Sleeves: Like James Bond in Casino Royale, he's showing ~1/2″ of cuff beyond his jacket.
These seemingly insignificant details can make or break your outfit, but it's not necessarily easy to get them right…

THE CHALLENGE

Less than 10% of short men have collar sizes that are below the 14.5″ minimum that most men's dress shirt brands offer. For sleeve length, though, it's a different story.
About 30% of shorter men need a sleeve length less than the 32″ off-the-rack minimum. Ouch!
Fortunately, there are a number of options to get sleeve length that will look good with a jacket.

TRY CUSTOM DRESS SHIRTS

One thing to keep in mind: fabric makes up most of the cost of making a shirt. When you see a price from a custom shirt makers that seems too good to be true, they’re probably using really cheap fabric.
While it may fit you perfectly, a shirt made of cheap fabric won’t create the professional appearance you’re trying to project with jacket and tie.
When you compare prices for custom shirts with equivalent fabric quality to better off-the-rack brands like J. Crew or Brooks Brothers, you’ll usually end up paying ~20% more than the list price of an off-the-rack shirt.

The History of the Waistcoat Part 2

-

  suits in chiang mai Interestingly, it was thought for some time that the name “ waistcoat ” was derived from waste. The fact that garment was originally made from excess material that would otherwise have gone to ‘waste’. This, however, was nonsense. Originally, during the 17th and 18th centuries, the fashion in waistcoat was for highly ornate items in bright colours, but this gradually gave way to a much more informal and even puritanical style in the late 1700s and into the 19th century. Partly this was due to the international influence of the distinctly anti-aristocratic French Revolution in 1789. From 1810, waistcoats became shorter still and a much tighter fit, eventually almost doubling as an undergarment . Increasingly waistcoats were being used cosmetically to streamline the fuller figure. When the corset became popular in the 1820s, waistcoats served to emphasize the fashion for the pinched waist. They often featured whalebone stiffeners of their own, a

New Moda Custom Tailors There are plenty of opinions on how the bride and groom should dress for their wedding. Whether that’s a tuxedo, suit, suspenders, or matching pocket squares. However, what often gets overlooked is what to wear when attending a wedding as a guest. After all, it is a great excuse to dress up and look our best. Weddings are a great chance to show off your best suit and tie combo, your fashion sense, and your personal style. They come with the relaxation of a social event while embracing the prestige of formal wear. And, while the thrill of going all out on your wedding outfit can be enticing, it’s important to remember that the day isn’t your day. It belongs to the bride and groom. So, when choosing what to wear it may be best to be mindful of whom the day is meant for. The groom should be the sharpest dressed in the room and they should stand out above all others. But that doesn’t mean you can’t shine too. Before beginning to think of your suit, hair, or even acc
