The Golden Rules of Bespoke Tailoring - Part A

Best Tailor Chiang Mai

Our owner and ceo, Mr. Parkash, is a character with many of tales to tell from his career making custom suits for the wealthy and individuals all over the world. He recently celebrated 20+ years in the bespoke tailoring business.

We've compiled Parkash's golden rules of tailoring for your benefit after editing out the unmentionables from his lifetime of bespoke tailoring knowledge;

1. Keep it classic, invariably this never goes out of style. Take any iconic photo of a man in a suit and you’ll find it’s usually as relevant today as it was when taken – think Sean Connery’s early James Bond.

2. The first two bespoke suits for work that any man should have in his closet are a plain blue and a plain gray. You can have a customized suit that you can wear all year long in a medium-weight fabric of about 11 oz. For casual Fridays and weekends, it’s tough to beat a City Tweed. Every chino wearer in the City knows that the perfect fall is a pair of grey flannel pants.

3. My major goal while cutting a jacket is to give it structure and form while eliminating the straight lines that a ready-to-wear suit possesses. I always prefer jackets with slanted pockets because they draw attention to the waist, are more flattering, and appear to have more shape.

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 The fact that garment was originally made from excess material that would otherwise have gone to ‘waste’.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

  Tailored Jackets in Chiang Mai If you do not own a blazer , then you’re missing out! A blazer is an essential piece of clothing for any man, for any occasion and for any season.

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
