Iconic suits from Hollywood Part 2

  Tailor in chiang mai The look may be a little baggier than would be worn today but it’s still slick with its crisp, white shirt and perfectly co-ordinated tie. Classic perfection that still has the power to wow audiences old and new. The eighties did have some stylish moments as we can clearly see in American Gigolo, thanks to Richard Gere and his outfits supplied by Georgio Armani. One of cinema’s most memorable wardrobe scenes is in this film when Richard Gere flicks through his huge range of shirts and blazers . This is undoubtedly where the phrase ‘ Armani suits ’ became ubiquitous with having style and who better to carry it off than the very sartorial Richard Gere? Did you know that Robert De Niro wore 45 suits in Scorcese’s Las Vegas gangster drama Casino? And all of them were specially made? Rumor has it that the costume budget for this movie alone was around $1 million. I would have liked to been the consultant tailor on that one! Jack Nicholson was mesmeriz

  Tailors in chiang mai Impeccable clothing on male leads on screen is almost as crucial as the characters themselves. Getting it right creates a timeless presence, adding to the authenticity of our heroes. Let New Moda Custom Tailors take you on a journey of some of our favourite iconic suits from the film industry. When thinking about tailoring in the movies, James Bond immediately springs to mind. A spy defined by his impeccable taste in almost everything. His effortless style and sophistication leaps from the screen and is emulated by many. Sean Connery wear popular James Bond and in a classic scene from Dr No where he lights a cigarette at the baccarat table, he’s wearing probably one of the nicest dinner suits ever made. A perfect cinematic moment. The Glen plaid check grey suit that Cary Grant wore in the 1959 film North by North west was probably his most famous garment .

  Tailors in chiang Mai Over the past few years, we have noticed a sharp increase in the midnight blue dinner suit . From the red carpet at the Oscars to the ordinary folk amongst us, the midnight blue dinner suit is being seen more and more. The contrasting blue on the black satin looks incredibly stylish. Midnight Navy Evening Suit At New Moda Custom Tailors, we are fully aware of the rules of black tie and ensure that our garments comply with tradition and fashion alike. Eddy Redmayne has been seen wearing a midnight blue dinner suit at the Oscars. We were disappointed not to see satin piping on the trousers but the jacket looked sharp. The idea with “ black tie ” is that the male should stick to a very strict set of rules. The monotone outfits would blend in and allow the female companion to be the centre of attention. Over the past few years though, the male has become a little more fashion conscious. When we get commissioned for a midnight blue dinner sui

The History of the Waistcoat Part 3

Image
  best custom tailor in chiang mai After 1850, this style changed somewhat and towards the end of the century, with the arrival of portly Edward VII, the waistcoat began to expand a little to suit the shape of its owner. In the 20th century, the prevalence of the waistcoat and its significance as a status symbol began to wane. It became a much more functional item to round off a formal three-piece suit, its use as a place to store a snazzy pocket watch also falling by the wayside as the wristwatch came into its own. Today, aside from persisting in more formal outfits, waistcoats have also taken on a life of their own in certain youth subcultures, being worn by indie kids or in steampunk circles, sometimes just with T-shirts or in the antithesis of their formal roots, sometimes even on their own.

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

Garment In Detail – Bamboo Jacket part 2

  best tailors chiang mai Following that we needed to pair it with the best lining – again with versatility in mind, we opted for Light Navy Satin from Dugdale Bros Classic Lining collection. After this was decided it was on to the detail. As mentioned, the client wanted to bring his Scottish Heritage out and I’d found the perfect Clan tartan for the job. We didn’t think it wise to use this externally where it could be seen as I mentioned that this could become the clients “Signature” for his wardrobe going forward. We decided to use this on the internal pocket jets alongside of the Flash Cuff (underneath the cuff buttons). Finished off with a Scottish stag horn button, this jacket was decided on. As for the style, the client asked me to produce a 3 roll 2, Italian looking garment , with patch pockets , notch lapel and centre vent. As the client carries a lot in his jacket when working and traveling, I maximized the internal pocket configuration too allowi

  best tailors in chiang mai The client is an International Speaker and so all of the above provided me an insight as to what the client wanted, how the garment is to be worn and where it will be worn. Prior to our appointment, I searched through my collection of 2000 fabrics and arrived at what I believed to be the best fabric bunch – Huddersfield Find Worsted Bamboo II Collection. I showed the client 2 more bunches before showing him the Bamboo but as soon as he saw it, he agreed it would be a great choice. Bamboo is a really interesting fabric – having the feel of silk and wearability of wool, this fiber is extremely crease resistant and is cooling to wear in hot climates.   We went through each of the patterns and colour of trousers he owns, working out how versatile each pattern could be. The client feels extremely comfortable in blue and wanted a check to stand out from his usual garments. It was decided that the cloth seen above was the one.   New Moda Custom
