YOUR HOLIDAY WISH LIST HAS ARRIVED

As a fourth generation clothier, I always start counting down the shopping days until Christmas -- there are only 51 days left!
 
So what do you get for the man who has everything? Of course I've got a few suggestions. If you don't already own a custom alligator belt, put that on your wish list. I recommend a gentleman own at least 2 alligator belts. Your belt should match the color of your shoes. There is no mistaking the quality look of an alligator belt. Taken care of properly a fine alligator belt can last a lifetime.
 
Next on the list is either a custom cashmere blazer or a fine Scottish cashmere sweater. A black, navy, or vicuna cashmere blazer is a foundation piece for building your winter sporstwear wardrobe. Or if that's not in this year's budget, a cashmere sweater might be it. Our cashmere sweaters www.Kinrosscashmere.com are available in an incredible array of colors and some great styles too.
 
If it's a corporate gift for your employees or clients, you have to try my wurkin stiff collar stays www.wurkinstiffs.com. This is the coolest innovation I have seen in men's apparel perhaps in my lifetime. They have actually created a way to keep your collar in place when not wearing a tie or button down shirt. It's an inexpensive gift and a great giveaway.
 
If I didn't strike the right chord for your holiday needs, just give me a call 502.327.8827. That's right we still answer the phone around here. You won't get a "press this number to get directed to your party". You just have to put up with me and my great service. Whatever you decide to purchase please give our artisans plenty of time to get your orders ready for holiday delivery.
CUSTOM PANTS GET A LEG UP ON STYLE
Masthead
Custom tailored pants get a leg up on personal style. Today's sophisticated consumer is concerned with how things look on him. Jeans, no matter the designer, aren't enough. Custom trousers, with their emphasis on fit and tailoring, are the next logical step in a man's evolution of style.

Distinguished for their hand-sewn details, custom trousers can touch every style from classic and sartorial cuts to more casual models. Custom trousers allow you to select bolder patterns and something interesting.  Fancier patterns like neat nailheads and subtle houndstooths, herringbones, checks, tweeds and Prince of Wales plaids expand the emphasis on fancy men's wear patterns.  In addition to these great patterns, consider luxury gabardine, featherweight wools, even pinstripes.

The pendulum is swinging to dressier looks. A lot of people are starting to dress up at the office again.  Whether dress trousers or casual slacks, today's renewed interest in dressier looks make custom trousers a stand up way to inject one's wardrobe with style.
Q & A - ASK KEN

Question:  
What can I do to update my formal attire?

Answer:
There are always lots of holiday parties, galas, and charity events this time of year. Many will require black tie. This is the best season to refresh your formal wardrobe with a new tuxedo, shirt, tie, or perhaps a vest instead of a cummerbund. It might be time to throw out your old tuxedo and invest in a new tuxedo in an updated style that is made with cloth from one of the world's finest mills. We offer a great selection of tuxedo accessories including a pre-tied bow tie that no one will be able to tell you didn't tie yourself. You should always feel your very best at all formal and special occasions.
