The success or failure is in the details, and the same goes for the choice of a suit. If you don’t have some professional knowledge when buying a suit, it will be a waste of money. I believe many people are unwilling to show up that the money spent not only fails to buy face, but also is said by others that it is only worth 800 yuan. Embarrassing. The only reason for this embarrassment is that you don’t know how to choose a suit. So, how to choose a customized suit based on the details? Let’s take a look below.
Style details: Back vents: How many vents are needed on the back of a suit?
There are generally three types of slits on the back of suits: no slits, single slits and double slits. Here’s what you need to know about the different slits:
1. No slits: bloated, old-fashioned, and swim-around
A suit without slits can create an extremely clean and concise back figure, but at the cost of having no waist and butt; when you sit down, a lot of fabric will bulge out of the waist and chest of a suit without slits, forming a “swimming circle”; the overall style is “swimming” Old-fashioned”.
2. Single slit: A pair of slits that are of no use
Single-slit suits have been popular in Japan for a long time and have also influenced China. But in fact, compared with the suit without slits, the poor single slit does not solve any substantive problems.
When you put your hands in the pockets, there will be obvious wrinkles on the back of the single-slit suit. When you sit down, the fabric around the waist and chest will also bulge. Many ready-to-wear suits often choose this style in order to save costs; ill-fitting ready-to-wear suits , the single vents on the back are easy to lift up, which is not beautiful enough.
3.Double slits: the current choice
The double-slit suit originated from the nobility on horseback. The riding posture is between standing and sitting, which puts new requirements on the hem of clothes. The symmetrical structure of the slits on both sides allows the suit to better wrap the back while minimizing indentations.
What you need to know about double-slit suits:
Compared with suits without slits and single slits, double slit suits have fewer restrictions on the movement of the arms. Whether it is hands in pockets or hanging naturally, there are fewer wrinkles on the back; if you need to stand and sit, double slits Suits are the best choice; ordinary ready-made suits generally do not have the option of double slits. Finding a good custom shop is a good start for getting a double slit suit.
Details of suit pockets: What are they used for?
Today, a suit’s breast pocket and pocket square are a perfect match. But did you know? Going back to early times, the breast pockets of clothes turned out to be soldiers’ bullet storage bags.
Since most soldiers are right-handed, the breast pocket is naturally placed on the left side. This makes the insertion and removal of bullets extremely convenient and smooth.
Suit ticket bags have been around for about a century. At that time, men had to take trains to travel – thus the ticket bag was born. Later, gentlemen who went in and out of the opera house also used this pocket to store opera tickets.
What you need to know about suit front chest straps and ticket pockets is: don’t put pens, mobile phones and other items in the front breast pockets, as pocket squares are home there; suits with ticket pockets look more stylish. If you like it, you might as well try to customize it. .
Details of cufflinks: How to identify good suit cufflinks?
Suit cufflinks were first invented by Napoleon. The material at that time was brass, and Napoleon invented them to teach his rough-hewn soldiers who liked to wipe their noses with their sleeves.
Look at the buttonholes
There is a saying that “the devil is in the details.” An expert can tell from the buttonhole details whether it is a hand-made custom product or an assembly line product. Open the buttonhole and look at the thread routing from the inside. The principle is the same as that of a collar. Regular thread routing is usually machine-sewn, while irregular thread routing is hand-sewn. Buttonholes can’t just be judged by whether they are handmade or custom-made, but also by the level of workmanship. If you don’t pay attention to the details of the buttonholes, even if it is handmade, it will not be considered a good gentleman’s dress. For example, sealed fake buttonholes, exposed threads, or even sparse threads and exposed fabrics are all signs of cheap gentry clothing. Therefore, cufflinks at that time were fake and sewn on top of the cuffs. Other than nose irritation, it has no practical use.
However, during the Anglo-French War, the army doctor suddenly had an idea and the cufflinks became like this↓
Surgeon’s Cuffs, which are composed of a row of real buttons, can be opened and closed to facilitate rolling up and down the sleeve.
For surgeons, with such cuffs, they can roll up their sleeves at any time. Today, fake cufflinks are making a comeback. In order to save costs, almost all ready-to-wear suits use fake cufflinks. Originally designed from a practical perspective, Surgeon’s cuffs
Cuffs) have become the standard for high-end customized suits.
How to choose a customized suit based on the details? You can choose based on the slits on the back, pockets, buttons, etc. If you don’t understand, you must simply look at the basic selection of suits to avoid the embarrassment of clashing with the waiter.
