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.

GREEN AND BLUE CHECK BESPOKE JACKET - 1

  Tailors in Chiang Mai We were recently commissioned by a client to make a bespoke jacket for his upcoming wedding. Weddings these days come in all shapes and sizes…..from the super traditional church weddings, to the more easy-going barn style. Each reflecting the style and characters of the lucky couple. This wedding erred towards the later and came with a brief. The client didn’t want to look traditional, it just wasn’t him. He wished to wear the item again and wanted something a little different, but still with style and class. He also wanted to feel comfortable and relaxed, whilst still retaining a sharp look. With this in mind we floated the idea of a jacket and trouser combo, which would open up his choice on the top half to the slightly more detailed jacketing fabrics , which tend to be woven slightly lighter and more open. On the bottom half we would then look for texture and strength to play a supporting role and the open weave of a high-twist wool would be ju

Brand New Patch Pocket Shape

Best Shirts in Chiang Mai   Although we always favor a timeless style its important to not stand still. Whilst we aim for a look and a style that transcends time we also consistently look for improvements. Its in our nature. With this in mind we felt it was time to give our patch pockets a bit of a reworking. The previous shape was very much an older English style with a pretty square pocket with rounded edges. This has been updated to a more rounded shape, curving in towards the mouth of the pocket. The rear of the pocket is also raised giving a slight tilt towards the front. Overall is a more modern shape and with its roots in the Neapolitan style. Whilst this may only be a slight tweak it does make a huge improvement to the overall feel of the jacket . Pair this pocket with a softer Neapolitan style shoulder and shaped foreparts and you are well on your way to a timeless yet current look.

  Custom Tailors in chiang Mai After some deliberation and skin tone checks we settled on fabric from our Premium Fabric collection . The bunch is a riot of muted and rich colors in plains and checks, all woven from either 250gram superfine wool. or 260gram super 160’s. As our existing clients will know, the first appointment with us is the longest. We always aim to get the garment as close to perfect as we can first time and our measuring is somewhat in-depth. Well this was the perfect example of what we aim for, with the garment being spot on first time. Balance was perfect, shoulders nice and clean, and with a lovely nipped in waist. Made in our soft style this really ticked all the boxes. New Moda Custom Tailors Email us at: tailormoda13@gmail.com Website: https://newmodacustomtailors.com/
