POWERFUL BLUE JACKETS COMMAND WARDROBE ATTENTION
|
|
Alongside
the rich earth-tone colors of browns and olives in sport jackets, the
blue jacket remains a perennial favorite. There is a measurable
comfort, perhaps even a sense of security in the selection of a rich
blue jacket. We've heard it said that in our heart of hearts, it's the
navy jacket that we turn to first. From the Navy blazer we get
an authoritative, powerful feeling. It reminds us of the commander at
sea or the policeman's uniform. The classic blazer has never waned in
popularity. It is often a first choice for travelers as it easily
coordinates with nearly any trouser color from the darkest grays to the
lightest of tans. Beyond the navy blazer awaits another blue
jacket destined to be a wardrobe favorite. Consider the selection of a
rich, elegant blue jacket in a subtle Glenn plaid, a delicate
decoration of soft windowpane plaid, or a classic check pattern in a
range of visible texture from traditional hound's-tooth to tiny
tick-weave. These blue jackets are made in the finest wools,
often woven with silk for a luxurious hand and tone. While easily
paired with navy or medium blue trousers, these primary blue jackets
are perfect with a range of gray trousers from deep, dark charcoal to
silver gray. |
Q & A - ASK KEN

 Question: I can wear off the rack clothes I buy in stores without much alteration. Do I need custom clothes?
Answer: Thinking you're a perfect
off-the-rack size is a common misconception. Often people don't realize
how poorly off-the-rack suits fit until they have one custom made to
their individual measurements and posture. Then the difference is
evident.
Quality and selection are additional benefits of custom clothing.
The hand work, canvas construction, and detail that is part of the
custom suit far surpasses the make of a factory ready to wear garment.
This gives you more comfort and a more aesthetically pleasing
silhouette.
The custom client has incredible selection in fabric and the
option to design your suit as you desire. For example whether you
prefer a jacket with British side vents, Italian no vents, or a
traditional center vent, you get the design you want. Not what happens
to be available in the store.
For all these reasons and many more there is great benefit from the custom garment even for a gentleman who is "easy to fit".
