A Gentleman's Guide to Choosing Mens Custom Bow Ties and Bespoke Suits

By Brenda Murphy


If you are a man who is just starting to get involved with fashion, you may wonder how to choose something like a suit that will look good and be affordable. Here is what you need to know about choosing mens custom bow ties and suits that will make you look your best without breaking your bank account.

One of the first things to consider is what your budget will be. Some custom made clothing and accessories can be quite expensive depending on the type of item and what it is made out of. Knowing what you can afford to spend will help you narrow down your choices while still having a good chance of getting the look you are trying to achieve.

If you have ever seen a man wearing a completely custom suit, you know how good they can look. A bespoke piece can also be more comfortable to wear since it tends not to restrict the wearer's movements and has been made to fit them properly. Since these items can be expensive, you may want to make sure you look for one in a color such as charcoal grey that will work no matter what season it is or what kind of event you are attending.

The fabric is also an important thing to consider. Some fabric can be quite heavy and while this may work well for cooler weather, it may not be the best choice for wearing all year round. Some wool fabric can be very heavy and warm and may look out of place if it is worn in warmer weather. The fabric that you choose can also have a big impact on the price of your custom made suit.

While you may want to choose a pattern that is very on trend, you may come to find that it will end up being a mistake. Many of the details that make up current fashion will only look good for a very short period of time. There are other styles which look good no matter how long it has been since a particular suit or tie has been created. If you want to make sure you continue to look good, something more timeless is likely a better buy.

Of course, you don't need a totally custom suit to look sharp. Some accessories such as vests and ties can also look great when they are made for you and you alone. It may make it easier for you to find a particular color to match wedding colors or to incorporate a meaningful pattern or design.

Finding places to purchase these items is much easier than it used to be. Now, many bridal salons or menswear shops will know who in the area is designing and sewing these items. If you want someone who can create the item right from the base pattern you may need to look in a larger metropolitan area but you should still be able to find names and numbers to contact.

Make sure you are not trying to order bespoke clothing at the last minute. You should also be prepared to have your measurements taken and to attend a few fitting sessions. This can help ensure that your suit fits perfectly and that you look your best. Then, you can be sure you are looking your best no matter what kind of event you are attending.
