Custom made tuxedos to make your special day even more so

The first impression that is gathered about a person comes from the way a person dresses. This is a fact that cuts across all barriers, national, cultural and social and the impact of the attire is indeed attested by the variety of fashions that are emerging every day from the various fashion houses of the world. Even formal dressing styles have undergone a sea change with changes in materials chosen as well as colours over the years. People have started to pay more attention to what they are wearing and how it will affect their place in society.

The most essential part of a man’s wardrobe is the business suit and another variant of this is the tuxedo. Unlike the suit which is usually worn in any formal or semiformal occasion, the tuxedo is something that is reserved for special occasions like one’s own wedding or a prom night. It is something that is emotionally more important and treasured than a suit which is common. There are also a large number of physical differences between the suit and men’s tuxedo, the greatest one being the presence of satin especially on the lapels, on the pocket trim, the buttons as well as a side stripe or elaborate braid down the leg of the trouser. And although this has been reduced to satin on the lapels and a satin stripe down the leg of the trouser, the presence of satin sets a tuxedo apart from a suit. A suit is usually accompanied by a tie whereas a tuxedo is always accompanied by a bow tie as well as a cummerbund and in some cases even with a low stance waistcoat. Thus it is an article of clothing that differs from the suit not just physically but also based on the occasion on which it is worn

Just like the name suggests, a custom made tuxedo is one that is made to measure, that is it is stitched according to the measurements of the wearer. This kind of clothing is usually very expensive and most people opt to rent one out but for people who want that extra significance, especially to one’s own wedding or that of a loved one, spending on a custom made tuxedo is seen to be worth it.

The zenith of men’s fashion or rather the haute couture of it is the suit that has its origins in Saville Row – the bespoke suit. It is an exclusive garment that is custom made for the wearer. It is stitched according to the measurements as well as the personal style of the wearer and thus remains exclusive to one person.
