"Appropriate attire communicates both to the wearer and those with whom we associate, that we are competent, credible and capable."



TAILORED CLOTHING MEANS BUSINESS
Sandy Taboh color Strong suits are best medicine in challenging times.

When the economy is down, dress up.  In a challenging economy, people want to look their best, perform their best, and give themselves every competitive advantage.  Dressing up, and dressing well, is akin to keeping one's chin up and maintaining a positive perspective in turbulent times. 
 
Dressing well gives one a sense of confidence and professionalism.  Appropriate attire communicates both to the wearer and those with whom we associate, that we are competent, credible and capable.  It's that great feeling that come from putting on a well-tailored suit or even a new shirt and tie.
 
Recognizing both the need to stand out in the workplace and an overall push in the marketplace to raise the standard by dressing up, package yourself for maximum benefit.  We're happy to assist you in presenting yourself in tailored clothes that are dressy and understated.
 
Elegant suits and jackets with modern silhouettes and styling details are the foundation of today's executive-friendly wardrobes.  Classic, not trendy styling is the order of the day.  Accessorized with fresh, crisp shirts and ties that provide the perfect professional look without dandyish decoration, and you have boardroom-worthy attire.   Call them recession-proof wardrobes.

Q & A - ASK SANDY
Sandy Taboh color Question: 
How do I stop my dress shirt collars from getting too tight?

Answer: 
A number of factors influence collar size and can make a collar uncomfortably snug.  First, be sure you are buying the correct collar size.  As professionals, we take your measurements to ensure you will be comfortable around the collar when buttoned-up. 
 
Secondly, remember that it only takes a 4-7 lb. weight fluctuation to cause your collars to become a pain in the neck.
 
All natural fiber shirting, especially 100% cotton, will always shrink after the first laundering.  Custom shirt makers know this and cut shirts larger to compensate.  After just a few launderings, the collar will settle into the correct size and fit perfectly.
 
Laundering in excessively hot water, failure to tumble dry a shirt, and pressing with extreme heat, can also cause unwanted shrinkage and may even affect the construction materials that bond the top collar to the shirt, resulting in permanent damage and creases in the collar.
