The Cheat Sheet

• A suit's gotta fit right or it isn't worth wearing.
• In order to make sure that it does fit right, find yourself a good tailor.
• You'll never go wrong wearing at two-button suit with a fairly narrow lapel. It's both classic and completely modern.
• Flat-front, relatively trim pants; very little break at the ankle.
• You should be able to easily cup your hands beneath the hem of the jacket; if you can't, it's too long.
• Show some cuff. It's the mark of a (well-dressed) gentleman.
• Dress with the season—cotton suits in summer; tweeds, flannels, and corduroys in winter.
• If you're going to wear a patterned suit, keep the patterns subtle. You want a smart suit, not a kooky one.
• If you ever can afford to get a bespoke suit, get one made. It's worth every penny.

How A Suit Should Fit

You know how a man suit should fit. But what about all the details that define the style of a suit? You've got countless options. Here are the ones that matter most, the ones that make for an infallible suit.
F. Start with the Lapels
Nothing does more to dictate a suit's character than the lapel. We like a slim one, about two inches at its widest point. It's modern without being rock-star skinny.
G. Go for Two
We swear by a two-button suit jacket. Sure, a three-button that's cut well can do the job, but a two-button is much more consistently reliable, no matter your shape or size. We typically opt for ones with low-button stances, because they create a long, slimming torso. They're foolproof.
H. Ticket, Please
Ticket pocket? Sure. If you're into more of a British-dandy vibe, go for it.
I. Cause a Flap
We like a traditional flap pocket. There's something a bit too '90s about those slit pockets.

 

Shopping for Groomsmen

Having to choose my own wedding outfit (suit or tuxedo?) is a difficult task by itself.  But throw in a few more variables such as coordinating outfits for 6 groomsmen with 6 bridesmaids’ outfits and 1 wedding dress that can’t be viewed until the day of the wedding, and I’ve got a real challenge on my hands.
Considering I will be getting married in four months I decided it was probably time to start deciding what the groomsmen outfits would look like.  I knew before I got started though that I’d need to be able to answer a few questions about the outfits: What kind of outfit am I looking for?  What color do I want the guys to wear? And how do I picture it all coming together?
The first answer was easy, because I know I don’t want us wearing tuxedos.  The wedding ceremony will be in a church but the reception will be outdoors in a venue that has a rustic look.  A tux would be too formal and would seem out of place at the reception venue.  Secondly, I decided the guys should wear a lighter grey suit, also because I feel this would better compliment the outdoor reception venue.  I personally view black suits as an option for somber occasions and business meetings; grey would be a slightly more casual look.  In my head, I pictured the suits fitting well and their details color-coordinating with the bridesmaids dresses.  And since none of the groomsmen are over 27, I am afraid anything too loose would make us look like little kids.
Having outlined what I wanted, Matthew (who happens to be my best man, brother, and fellow Sharp Suit blogger) and I went over to Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank .  Although we haven’t had personal success shopping at these stores, I wanted to get an idea of what wedding options they offer and determine how much work I really had to do.

An Homage to Formal Wear

We can thank the original dandy, Mr. Beau Brummell, for introducing the modern Western man to the importance of well-fitted and understated formal wear. Mr. Brummell’s contemporaries, the English aristocrats of the early 19th century, seemed to be fitted towards mobility, and thus their attire needed to be more practical. A trailblazing pioneer, Mr. Brummell experimented with his own style and started deviating from the norm in a big way.  Dropping the pomp and frills of his peers, he valued fit above all else, considering how it would frame his body and how it would better represent the image that he wanted to project.  His fashion and style ushered in a revolution in menswear that is still present today. It shook its way through British royalty and decades of tradition and now a sharply tailored and well-fitted suit stands as one of the most distinguished staple garments in formal menswear.

It would be silly to suggest that all this was ushered in by one man; surely it took the courage of many a Beau Brummell, an entire movement like many acts of revolution. Regardless of the history, we are sure about one thing. We’re grateful it happened. And we’re grateful there are men who continue to push style forward.

On this, the eve of Oscar weekend and the decrescendo of awards season (the season of bravura) we tip our hats to the men who dared to deviate from the norm to give us the modern tuxedo.

 

Three Things to Remember

Style moves in the same rhythms as your life. With spring imminently approaching, don’t be afraid to embrace the change in season and take meaningful steps towards self-improvement. It’s the perfect time to be excited! More daylight and warm weather can make many-a-thing possible. Here are a few tips to get you on your way.  

CHANGE IT UP.

Embrace the changes within and around you as an opportunity to take steps outside your comfort zone.  Whether it is a change in season that moves you to splash more colors into your outfit, a change in jobs that allows you to dress your normal attire up or down, or even a change in the people who inspire you to embrace different looks, taking advantage of the natural shifts in your daily schedule can help you manifest the change you want to see in yourself. Using your wardrobe as the medium through which you formulate your image it’s important, at times, to alter the medium itself; for example, replacing those old beat up, loose fitting jeans you’ve had since college with some slimmer, well-fitting denim.  Sometimes, you need to alter the way you utilize the medium; for example, that faded vintage t-shirt might actually go well with a blazer for a change. When you lend room to positive change, even if they are small changes, it is amazing the things that will move your way. 

CLASSIC IS KING.

Trends don’t mean much and you’re old enough to know better.  No matter what  happens in the world of high fashion or fast fashion, it’s not about having multitudes of clothes in your closet but rather about investing in timeless staples such as a solid navy suit, a sharp gray blazer, well-fitting denim, chinos and a pair of well-made oxfords. Building your wardrobe from these classic items will help you maintain a sartorial authenticity that transcends fair-weather trends. These pieces form the foundation upon which your aesthetic rests. From here, there is no style you can’t create. 

GET CRAFTED.

Buy garments that are well constructed and that last. Rather than going for the most expensive items on the rack (or for that matter, the least expensive) it is important to understand what you are actually paying for. More often than not the price is based purely on the label rather than the craftsmanship. Finding the best options for your money can often be as simple as doing a quick Google search on how it’s constructed and what it’s made from. Is your coat 100% wool or is it a poly blend? Is your jacket lining made with bemberg or polyester?   Are your dress shoes made of real calfskin leather or synthetic materials?  Taking the time to understand the products you buy can save you money in the long run and significantly improve the look, functionality and longevity of your wardrobe. Buying clothes should be seen as a investment not only in the clothes themselves, but as an investment in yourself, your image and your overall happiness and well-being.

How to Dress like Harvey and Mike

If USA’s hit TV show, “Suits,” doesn’t make you want to pick up an LSAT study guide and take a shot at law school, it sure as hell makes you want to suit up.
Suiting Up for Success

“People respond to how we’re dressed, so like it or not this is what you have to do.” - Harvey Specter

The show preaches and epitomizes the idea of “dressing for success” as all the male characters are never without an impeccably tailored suit on. Harvey Specter and Mike Ross shine the brightest – one a superstar partner and the other his freshly minted associate at fictitious law firm Pearson and Hardman. The idea of dressing for success is not a new one. It is built on the premise that what you wear contributes largely to your success in the professional world. As you probably guessed, we are huge advocates of this idea, as expressed in our “What to Wear to an Interview” post. Here we’ll revisit it anew in the context of the TV series, “Suits.”

When Mike Ross frustratingly asks “Why does it matter how much I spend on a suit,” Harvey quickly retorts with “People respond to how we’re dressed, so like it or not this is what you have to do.” His point being that people are making prejudiced assessments based on how we’re dressed, whether we’re cognizant or not, or whether we give a damn or not. Every moment a judgment is being made, sometimes even subconscious to the one making the judgment—is he sloppy like his suit? Why is he wearing that hideous tie? Looks like this is the first time he’s ever put on a suit…
A Sensitivity for the Details of Your Look 
Many men know that thick pinstripe suits often communicate that “boss” or “boardroom” look, but what about other aspects of the suits, such as peak lapels? What are you communicating when you opt for a peak lapel verses a slim notch? What do the differences mean to you, if anything?
To many, it may not mean a thing. But to those who are discerning of the details – an interviewer, a potential business partner or even that attractive blonde across the room –  it may mean a lot. Just like how you wouldn’t wear a floral print shirt to a funeral, you wouldn’t want to head into a boardroom looking like this.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. – Will Rogers

Your Suit as the Language of Success
Dressing for success is a bit like writing, if you’re writing to communicate a message to your readers, you have to be mindful of the language, syntax, grammar and the choice of your words.  Think of every element of your outfit as a word in a sentence—from the fabric of your suit to the style of your pockets. Make sure you know the meaning of each word, and choose your words carefully.
Ask yourself this: What does your suit say about you? What do the details say?
The wardrobe stylists behind the characters Harvey Specter and Mike Ross in the show “Suits” obviously understand this “language.” While both characters look incredible in their well-fitting suits, the details of their looks conveys two very different messages.

In the show, Mike Ross frequently wears a slimmer, more understated and conservatively (but still smartly) tailored suit (slim notch lapel, no vest, slim tie with a small four-in-hand knot), representing the young associate, a bit wet behind the ears, but quickly rising under the promising tutelage of the firm’s top star, Harvey Specter. Harvey, on the other hand, truly dresses like a boss. He’s the top closer of his firm, and his power suits convey his status at his firm perfectly. Everything in Harvey’s look evokes strength from the 3-piece suit to the spread collar and windsor knot. This stark contrast shows how effectively an outfit can communicate a message of power.
Now we don’t blame you if you want to look like Harvey Specter. Like we said, the guy straight up looks boss. He’s there to make moves and it’s evident by his clothes alone that things have been working out rather nicely for him. Replicating a look like this requires a sensitivity to your context and the message you’re trying to get across.

Hanging Out with Black Lapel: The Fine Young Gentleman

Every once in a while, we all become friends with someone who is truly passionate about something in life. That person becomes a go-to resource. When we want to try the best restaurant of a certain cuisine, we ask our foodie friend. When we want to know how to build muscle while lose fat, we ask our fitness friend. Well, to all those who know Justin Jeffers, the man behind The Fine Young Gentleman style blog, you know that you have a go-to friend for questions on style. We explored Central Park with Justin on a gorgeous summer weekend. Justin donned the new Black Lapel Gray Glen Check suit (coming soon!) with a style befitting the title of his blog.

As the news shows you images of a New York City ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, we’d like you to join us for a reminder of how beautiful the City can be.
It was sunny, warm and slightly breezy – a perfect day to walk along Central Park South. So we started by the Apple store on 5^th Avenue, where Justin and our co-founder, Warren, sit amidst throngs of tourists to catch up on the latest and greatest.

We move on to The Plaza Hotel lobby where we were able to snap off one lonely but stunning shot of Justin’s sweet duds before security ushered us on our merry way.

As many New Yorkers will tell you, despite being a tourist destination, Central Park can also be a refuge from all the constant hustle and bustle that the City is rightfully notorious for.

Here are a couple of New Yorkers in a unique musical duel – ukelele vs. cigar box guitar.

So, we make our way over to enjoy some greenery while we capture Justin’s get up on film. He likes a well-fitted suit, but nothing aggressively slim. His style can be described as classic with a touch of prep and an abundance of smiling confidence.

Justin complements his Black Lapel Gray Glen Check Suit with a solid red knit tie, a patterned silk pocket square, cuff links, red skull and cross-bone suspenders by Paul Stuart and an aircraft engine rosette (lapel pin). Justin brought along his monogrammed tote bag to carry a change of clothes. As you can tell, he likes to look good and always makes sure that he’s having fun with it.

Our final stop brings us to Columbus Circle where Justin changes into some more casual threads: a white oxford shirt, some Nantucket red chinos and a backwards trucker hat. We make a pit stop at the Whole Foods food court for some lunch. The food is just okay, but the company and conversation was superb. Our talks range from personal goals, both sartorial and career-wise, to the adventures of living in the City (pre-Sandy!) and finally, to enjoying each moment of the ride.

To end the day with a splash, Justin decides to roll up his pants and make use of the Columbus Circle water fountains. No matter how stylish you are, there’s no reason why you can’t let your inner kid out every so often.

How to Wear a Vest Casually

Go ahead and give this jacket a blazer or a day off and give a little black jacket as a separate piece. In fact, a vest can be an ideal candidate for the realization of this elegant-but-not-too-serious-and-still-looking-better-than-99%-of-the-room look at the following after work social.
Here are a couple of our favorite ways to wear a vest that look casual weekend warrior,:

     Give a break jacket - Leave the jacket at home and use a good fit vest with a shirt and suit pants button. For a more casual look, opt for a more relaxed low key oxford or chambray. And if you seek to come up with something a little more relaxed, like a tie or knitted cotton, rather than a more formal silk tie. Feel free to keep your shirt collar unbuttoned with tie knot loosened to let people know that you changed the way you work in playback mode.
     Go Cardigan Jeans + - If pairing your jacket with jeans, you want to go for a dark wash, no fade fantasy, whiskering important holes or sagging. Make sure the denim is thinner adjustment, so it is compatible with the jacket. With a pair of jeans, you can get a casual look chic and avoid jarring juxtaposition between elegant and casual. You never want to look up the company and more relaxed at the bottom.
And please do not try to start a 3 piece hybrid of this kind that will make you look like you lost your pants and jeans borrowed from his father.
Regarding the vest itself, make sure it is tight, with the time for the parties to reach your waist line. And do not forget to leave the past vest unbuttoned button.
So give your vest a chance to shine. This is a great way to add some versatility to your computer. Mix and match, be creative and see what you can come up with!

Target x Menswear

Yes, you’ve heard right: Target announced their newest collaboration with not only the high-end fashion department store Neiman Marcus, but no less the 24 of the CFDA’s designers for winter 2012. The general public reacted by taking to the streets in a celebration rivaling a Word Series Championship. Kidding; well for the most part. Only us menswear/womenswear nerds jumped for joy and immediately began instagramming our happiness (along with our WIWT outfit)

But in all seriousness, this is much bigger deal that we think. Yes,  smaller designers have always been collaborating with super-market chains (you know Jessica Simpson and a random BRAVO reality TV star), but this is different my friends . We’re talking high end design houses- the ones Carrie Bradshaw and company name drop on Sex and the City. Hell, if you would have told me that Thom Browne would collaborate with Target six months ago, I would most likely would have un-followed you on twitter (yes, that’s a big deal).

The Alton Lane Dress Shirt

 http://www.ausuit.com.au/index.html

Modern Fellows visited Alton Lane’s Dupont Circle showroom to pick out a summer shirt and review the experience. This review, the first in a series on the pursuit of the perfect dress shirt, is based on a May 2012 appointment.

Why Alton Lane?
Alton Lane has been on the radar for a while now. The company was founded in 2009 by entrepreneurs and University of Virginia classmates Colin Hunter and Peyton Jenkins, who have quickly established themselves in the men’s custom clothing business. They offer a range of professional clothing, including suits, dress shirts, tuxedos and outwear, along with Made in America ties, from locations in New York and Washington DC and online. They have attracted some positive (and a few not so glowing) reviews, and are indicative of the new generation of affordable custom clothing that is emerging in America today.

Inside Alton Lane’s DC showroom just off Dupont Circle.

The Experience
Overall, the process was straightforward and pleasant. You begin online by creating an account, logging into the website and selecting an appointment slot through Alton Lane’s online scheduling tool. About a week later, I walked over to their office at the arranged time where I met TJ, Alton’s DC Showroom Manager. Their Dupont Circle space, pictured above, feels like a modern take on the Metropolitan Club, yet does not feel overdone.

TJ asked me what I was looking for and then took me over to their “3-D state of the art body scanner” to get measured. The body scanner turned out to be the part of the process that I liked the least. You are pretty exposed stepping into that cramped box; it feels gimmicky; and, whatever its merits, tailors have managed to get the measurements right by hand for centuries. (This is actually a minor point. You do not have to use the body scanner, or live in New York or Washington for that matter, to order from Alton Lane. The company offers the option of going to your local tailor, sending in your best-fitting clothes, or taking measurements yourself via this guide. Also, having been through the body scanner once, which I did voluntarily in the name of research, there is no need for me to go again for future orders.)

We walked back over to the desk, where TJ offered me a scotch and began showing me some shirt fabrics. I already had an idea in mind of what I wanted — a large lavender gingham check pattern I found on their website — and, though he had a large variety of shirting fabrics in the store, did not have that one on hand. Good thing I checked the website. He pulled the design up on the website and went through customizations with me: Montague (slim fit) or Capulet (classic fit); side, center, or no darts in the back; collar type; one-button, two-button or french cuffs; front pocket or plain front; pick-stitching, contrast collar, and so on.

Alton Lane does not offer the same breadth of options as some other tailors though, for the most part, the ones that they offer are sufficient and make for a less overwhelming experience. (You can waste a surprising amount of time pondering whether you like two-button rounded cuffs or mitered cuffs better.) The one exception for me is collars.  Alton Lane offers only four: button-down, straight-point, medium-spread, or English-spread. My preferred collar is somewhere in between the straight-point and their medium-spread, so I opted for the medium spread with two-button cuffs. TJ finalized the order, I paid my bill and left.

Final product
The shirt arrived four weeks after placing the order.   After wearing and laundering it several times so it could settle down, I found the shirt to fit well generally, though there is some bunching around the torso, and the sleeves remain long, as seen in the picture below.  The material is soft, and it fits snug but not too tight around.    One noticeable feature of the shirts is their stiff collar and cuffs.  TJ highlighted those as selling points, and the collar sure stands up straight, but personally I prefer a somewhat softer collar and cuffs. I also prefer a slightly narrower angle to my collar. (Without a jacket on, the medium-spread collar spreads wide out away from the neck.)

Customer service, alterations policy, and reorders
From start to finish, my experience with Alton Lane’s customer service was excellent.  Scheduling an appointment was effortless. At the appointment itself, TJ was engaging, approachable and knowledgeable of Alton Lane’s product line and policies. I received emails to confirm the purchase the day of the order, on the day that my order shipped, and several days after the order shipped suggesting I call or write to tell them how it fits.

As for their alterations policy, they do not offer a money-back guarantee or perform alterations on the premises.  While the company will alter or remake garments to fix a manufacturing error, for most alterations, you will need to have them performed by a local tailor. Alton Lane will then credit your account 120% of the value of the alterations for use on a future order. This is decidedly less generous than a company like Proper Cloth or Black Lapel, which offer several options to make the garment right, including the option of returning your first purchase for a refund if you are not satisfied. On its website, the company explains that, “Many custom tailors include the cost of multiple rounds of potential alterations into their base-pricing model…we strip out the cost of potential alterations from the price of our garments. This allows for greater transparency into our business, better pricing for our customers, and more flexibility, while still allowing us to offer the best alterations policy in the industry.”

On the other hand, they sure do make it easy to reorder.  Your measurements are saved in the system, and you can order straight from the website or by consulting with the Alton Lane team.

Cost
Lavender large gingham shirt $110. Dress shirts range from $89-165. Suits from $525. Shipping for the one shirt was $15.

Verdict
Alton Lane hits a sweet spot between affordability and quality, and their operation feels classy and refined without being overwhelming or pretentious.  While I personally would prefer softer collars and cuffs, and a collar spread that falls in-between the point and the medium spread options, I enjoyed my visit and wear the shirt that I ordered regularly.

Update, 10/5/2012: After wearing the shirt a few more times, the rigid collar and cuffs are bordering on annoying.  It shouldn’t be a challenge to button your shirt in the morning.  This would weigh heavy on my decision to purchase additional shirts in the future.

In Pursuit of the Perfect Dress Shirt

I still remember the first dress shirts I bought out of college.  In New York City, I went to the Brooks Brothers flagship store and bought several shirts with pinpoint collars and button cuffs.  Technically, they were my size, but they billowed out uncontrollably.  You could have stuck two of my torsos side-by-side in those shirts.

At the time, it didn’t really bother me.  I persisted in those comically baggy things until I took a trip to Thailand and had a couple of dress shirts made for $25 apiece.  If they weren’t the finest fabrics, at least they fit properly.  It was an awakening.  When I arrived home, I immediately retired my set of Brooks Brothers regular fit shirts.

More than a decade later, it is now much easier to find slim off-the-rack options. Even Brooks Brothers has an extra-slim fit line.

Affordable custom clothing, however, no longer requires a trip abroad — or to a cavernous hotel in major American cities where Asian and European tailors have traditionally held trunk shows. Thanks to a new generation of American entrepreneurs, there are a mind-boggling number of options for relatively-affordable custom professional clothing, which is both inspiring and overwhelming.

Choosing to be inspired rather than overwhelmed, Modern Fellows is embarking on a “Custom Project.” The goal of this project is to get to know this new generation of American entrepreneurs and businesspeople and to spotlight their products, opinions on men’s professional style and motivations for getting into the business.  To follow will be product reviews, interviews and photo tours of a variety of custom clothiers, with an initial focus on finding the perfect dress shirt.

A Man’s Guide to Dressing on a First Date

So tonight's the night, you've finally found the courage to ask that special someone on a date. A million and one things going around in your head right now, the first of which is probably not "What do I wear?"
To save you from yourself, meet this simple guide to prepare for a first date. While this is not guaranteed to hold a second meeting, which will certainly help in the race.
Let's kick things off by taking a look at your options in clothes ...

    Classic with a twist
If you want an easy to remember when this principle is "keep it simple but add a border. In other words, stick to fairly traditional, it looks a little conservative, but add something more to reach a higher mood: a touch color often simple, but the basic patterns can work well.
When dressing for dates, it is usually the best way to keep things "casual chic" if possible. Obviously, you may have to go "more than one way than the other," according to the circumstances. Whenever you are in doubt, think: "Am I dressed very well that the parents of my day to see me in a positive light, if we come to your door tonight?"

    Keep the focus on you
Do not use folders or pieces strong statement on the first night. You want your lips to do the talking, not your clothes. Put the crazy shirts and pink tights on one side of the night.
In the same vein, try to keep the mystery of avoiding clothes, "he says," in other words, keep the cowboy belt buckle in the back of the cabinet, and alumni ties to another occasion.
What to wear on a date

    Do not overload the colony
Yes, I know you want to feel good, but do not forget your date does not want to feel like they're sitting in a perfume factory during dinner. Do not go too far and mix your perfumes, keep things simple and clear as possible.
Apply some light cologne not necessarily lost, but a coat layer of antiperspirants three inches thick.

    Groom to perfection
By that I mean not over-or under-bed. Get rid of the mono-brow, has a shave and by all means get a barbers finished too, but not go too far - no one has to see strange eyebrows waxed at a party.

    Feel good about what you wear
It's going to be quite nervous as it is, without having to worry about that coat sports brand is not just "you". If you are not comfortable with what you have, you probably spend all day moaning and writhing, to the chagrin of his appointment!
Try to avoid using anything new or not previously used for the occasion, and eliminate everything that makes you feel uncomfortable or itchy.
Man dressing guide on the first date

    Take care of your hair
While beautifying your hair is fine, not decide on a style radically different from the day before: you never know, the hair may have been the determining factor in the acceptance of his date with you in the first place!
If you can use a small amount of hair product (gel, wax, etc.) to control problems, I would not use too much. Crispy, flaky hair is a deal breaker for most people.

    Do not ruin it ...
Now you have the perfect pieces aligned, and that is perfectly healthy, do not ruin much time talking about politics, religion or ex. Instead, keep the conversation lively and bonds over trivial things, such as books, movies, and celebrity favorite things.
Not to be missed in banality if you prefer, but try to avoid strong opinions and controversial issues until later in the relationship.

The Difference Between A Suit Jacket, Sports Coat and Blazer ?

I thought I’d kick off the New Year with a quick spot-the-difference style guide.
So what exactly is the difference between a sports coat, blazer and suit jacket? Today I thought we’d take a look at the difference between these three items to sort out the confusion once and for all!

Suit Jackets

These are the most commonly worn form of outwear, especially in the business realm. Typically made of fine, soft material, suit jackets are (nearly) always partnered with matching legwear.

Blazers

Once upon a time, the members of a school or club wore blazers emblazoned with insignia and/or badges denoting their status. As times have moved on, such affectations have broadly been dropped, and a blazer is generally regarded as a simple, solid-coloured jacket with silver, gold or brass coloured buttons.

Sports Coat

These generally come in fabrics slightly finer than blazers. Due to their roots in outdoor pursuits, sports coats feature extra pockets with flaps covering the openings. These jackets come in a wide variety of colours and considered informalwear. Generally speaking, sports coats tend to be patterned and/or textured.
