Need a wedding suit? If you are part of
wedding party you should make your choice based on
guidelines provided by
groom. Otherwise choose a nice dressy dark suit for an evening affair. An afternoon gala calls for a mid range color and in summer even a nice beige is appropriate. If
wedding suit will be your only suit follow
advice we provided above and get yourself a good all purpose suit.
Men on
go often need a good travel suit to get from
plane directly to an important meeting. Look for a suit that is made of a wrinkle resistant fabric, preferably wool as it breathes well, has lots of pockets with secure closures and is treated with Teflon for stain repellency. Consider a navy blue or black suit so
jacket can double as a blazer.
Choosing
right fabric is important. Despite all
advances in textile design and engineering
fabric of choice for a fine suit is still good quality wool. This natural fiber is robust, drapes well, bounces back into shape after repeated use, breathes well and looks good. Fine woolens are manufactured in various finishes and weights. Other fabrics that are commonly used for suits are microfibre, polyester and wool blends, silk and silk blends and linen. Microfibre fabrics are generally a great choice for a more casual men’s suit and wear nicely but generally do not breath as well as good wool. Silk and wool blends are usually lighter weight fabrics and generally fit into
specialty suit and elegant suit categories. Men’s suits made of wool and polyester blends are usually stiffer, do not breath as well and should be less expensive. Linen suits are intended for a casual look, are wonderful in
heat and wrinkle when you look at them.
There are many good reasons to purchase on
web. The convenience of shopping when you want to, shopping from
comfort of your own home or office, selection,
ability to find items not available close to home and of course price. How do you buy an item as individual as a suit? If
product is not generic and you are not sure of
fit etc… Choose a merchant that is experienced and knows his product. Email or call and ask enough questions to give you confidence. Describe your body type,
purpose of your suit, your price range and what you already have in your closet. Expect a professional, timely response. Ascertain that they have an acceptable return policy. Be sure they have been in business for at least a few years. Read customer testimonials on their site and ensure transactions are in a secure environment.
