Extend the Life of your Suit
July 15th, 2016
Here are a few tips to maintain the great look of your custom suit:
1. Hang it Up: Always hang your suit in a well-spaced area when you're not wearing it. Use a proper wooden hanger with a wide-spread contoured shape to preserve the shape - cedar wood absorbs moisture as well as act as a moth repellant. If you keep it in a suit bag, leave the zip open a bit to let air in and out.
![]() 2. Give it a Break: Try not to wear the same suit every day to avoid deterioration. The wool fibers of your suit need time to rest, so rotate your suits throughout the week. Take small, daily measures to keep your suit clean such as laying a napkin across your lap during meals or gently brushing your jacket with a suit brush.
3. Avoid the Cleaners: Dry cleaning will expose your suit to harsh chemicals that will take its toll on the fabric, so only dry clean when necessary. Fabrics of higher micron number (higher than Super 150s wool) are more fragile and more susceptible to wear and tear; frequent dry cleaning will only exacerbate the issue. Instead, care for your suit by asking the cleaners to "STEAM ONLY" or using a garment steamer to get out wrinkles and deodorize it. Avoid using an iron to press your suit as it may damage the fabric.
4. Pack it Properly: Try traveling with a garment bag if you can. If that's not practical, check out our May newsletter for instructions on how to properly fold and pack a suit. When you don't have access to a steamer during your travels, hang up your suit in the bathroom using the steam from a hot shower.

3 Helpful Dress Shirt Hacks
July 15th, 2016
Here are a few tips to maintain the great look of your custom dress shirts:
1. Go Grey: Wear a grey undershirt or t-shirt under white dress shirts. It more easily matches your skin tone and is less visible than white on white.
2. Remove that Ink Stain: If you get pen ink on your shirt, follow these steps to remove it. (1) Mix equal parts rubbing alcohol and vinegar in a bowl and dab the mixture directly on the stain, leaving it on for at least 5 minutes. (2) Cover the affected area with table salt, leave it for about 5 minutes, then gently scrub the stain with a clean toothbrush. (3) Rinse with hot water until the stain is completely lifted. (4) Wash or dry clean the shirt to get it looking good as new.
3. No Iron? No Problem: Here are a couple solutions to remove wrinkles if you don't have an iron handy. (1) Boil water in a metal pot, pour it out, and use the bottom of the hot pot to smooth out the shirt. (2) Boil water in a kettle and hold your shirt above the steam to get rid of any creases. (3) Hang your shirt in the bathroom while you take a hot shower.

Ways to Wear Linen
April 22nd, 2016
Linen is an airy and delicate weave made from flax plant fibers. It's breathable, absorbent, and the slightly rumpled aesthetic is a hallmark of summer style. Need ideas on how to wear some staple linen pieces? Short-sleeve: Keep it casual by pairing it with shorts, denim, or over swimming trunks for days spent outdoor. The shirt can be fitted or slightly billowy based on your preference, and feel free to leave a few buttons undone to help cool off. Long-sleeve: Mix up your pant fabric for textural contrast and added depth. For example, if you go with long sleeves, wear cotton chinos. These look great in colors, such as pastels or shades of green or blue. ![]() ![]() Jacket: A linen jacket works well for when you need to be a bit more dressed up, but a suit is not required. Similar to the long-sleeve shirt, mix your fabrics. Try a cotton t-shirt and denim with your linen jacket. Suit: A linen suit is a great option for a summer wedding, especially in earth tone colors such as cream, beige, or navy. Linen blended with another material, like cotton or silk, will help keep your suit from wrinkling too much. The suit should be tailored. ![]() ![]()

Suit Jackets vs. Blazers vs. Sport Coats
April 22nd, 2016
A suit jacket is part of a complete suit, so pair the jacket and pants together. These two items should be the same color and fabric. I would not recommend wearing the suit jacket separately too often; the added wear will fade the garment faster than the pants, and then your suit will no longer match.
A blazer is solid in color with metal buttons typically. This was a favorite of the British Navy in the early 19th century, so it is most commonly associated with the navy color. This versatile piece can be dressed up with chinos or khakis or dressed down with jeans for more informal events.
A sport coat is the most casual, as the original intent of this jacket back in the 1920's was to be worn during outdoor activities. This is usually patterned or colored and can be made of varying fabrics and weights. This goes best with jeans, but any material (like corduroy or flannel) also works - just as long as it doesn't too closely resemble the jacket's material.
Real Life 007 James Bond in Casino Royale was the inspiration behind one of our client's wedding look. For his big day, Rakesh wanted the same peak lapel tuxedo and shirt worn by Daniel Craig in the movie, and we brought his vision to life. We finished his ensemble with a formal bowtie and white suspenders, all custom-made. Congrats, Rakesh! ![]()

Non-Traditional Tuxedos + Suits
April 22nd, 2016
Recently, we have noticed a lot of our clients looking for suits/tuxedos for wedding and banquets. We are all familiar with the classic black and white tuxes and dark suits but if you want to stand out, we have gathered some unique looks below. AW in Action Recently, we had the pleasure of making wedding suits for the whole groomsmen party. The groom wanted everyone to have a different colored suit, so they could be worn after the wedding. We decided on medium blue and light gray color bases so the suits would not be confused with work suits. ![]() Another one of our clients, Mark A., recently made a three-piece classic suit for his wedding in Wisconsin. Vest will definitely jazz up the ensemble. Congrats Mark! ![]() This blue tux with a shawl lapel has been popularized by the James Bond movies. Colored tuxedo with a black peak lapel is another nice twist to traditional colors. ![]() ![]() This black tuxedo is a bit more unique due to the satin notch lapel. ![]() I really like the well coordinated ensemble of bow tie, three-piece medium blue suit, and flowers. ![]()

Alex West: Protect Your Tie Investment
January 20th, 2016
Ahhh, the summer is almost over!! Only two more weeks to the official end of Summer, September 23.
Now that you will be getting back to "work" mode, picking out your morning ties will be necessary. We have prepared a brief tip-sheet on how to take care of your neckwear investment.
Also, we are officially introducing our custom bow tie and tie collection - more info on that below...
PROTECT YOUR TIES
Wrinkles form for a few reasons: incorrect untying of knot, too tight of a knot and/or improper storage.
1. Untying - To take off a tie, just reverse the steps of putting it on. Spend a few extra seconds to patiently untie it.
2. Tight Knot - You are not tying a boat to the dock. Keep the tie knot loose and gentle.
3. Storage - When storing a necktie, you need to consider the tie's fabric.
Silk - If it's silk, hang it up. Gravity will allow silk to relax and smooth itself out. An example of tie rack is below.

Prevent Yellow Armpit Stains

c. Old Spice High Endurance
2. GET RID OF IT!
Top method to ridding armpit stains is a combination of hydrogen peroxide, water and baking soda.
Please do not use bleach or hot water. Bleach will actually darken the stains because it reacts with the proteins in sweat and the hot water or heat from the dryer will set the stains.
Video below uses OxiClean, which is basically hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and water.

If you don't have hydrogen peroxide and baking soda in your kitchen, it is probably easier to purchase OxiClean.

Do Not Dry Clean + Summer Suits
April 14th, 2015
How to Clean a Suit
Most common cleaning mistake is taking your suit to the Dry Cleaners too many times. It is advised that you do not dry-clean your suit unless you really need to. The chemicals will over time damage the wool and they will weaken and breakdown. We recommend asking the cleaners to "steam press only" and not dry clean - price should be half the dry cleaning price. We also noticed that "organic" cleaning has a tendency to shrink the lining, which will distort the suit.
Wool is stain resistant in that it does not absorb liquid readily. However, you must wipe up stains immediately or else it will be absorbed. A proper clothes brush (below) will help remove stains or marks.
