CUSTOM TAILORING PROVIDES SOLUTIONS TO SLEEVE LENGTH DILEMMA

Sports injuries. Medical issues. Unequal muscular development in athletes. All of these can lead to a person's arms being of different lengths. It's a fairly common problem that most people never think about-until they find that they can't find shirts that work. Either one sleeve is always hiding inside their coat sleeve while the other extends to the wrist, or one sleeve is bunched up at the wrist while the other sits naturally. Even though the sleeves are the same length, they look uneven when worn, if your arm lengths are not identical.
 
Off-the-rack clothing is not designed to address this problem, leaving many gentlemen frustrated and unable to create a balanced look every day. Fortunately, the solution is easy-custom tailored clothing. The custom shirts and coats we design and build exclusively for you will fit you perfectly.
 
We take far more measurements than a seamstress or alterations person in a clothing store, because we are building clothing that accounts not only for any unique proportions (whether in the arms, legs, torso, or neck) but also the way you move. No matter your particular dimensions, we can design and build clothing that brings out the best of you and minimizes any flaws.
Q & A - ASK SANDY

Question: Can I iron my tie? It seems to have permanent wrinkles, but I don't want to take it to the cleaners.
 
Answer: You can certainly use an iron to remove wrinkles and restore a fresh look to your ties-but not by pressing them. Here's how:
  1. Turn the iron on high and select the steam setting.
  2. Hold the iron about one inch over the tie and let the steam sink into the tie.
  3. Move the iron back and forth slowly above the tie's surface.
This will release wrinkles without damaging the delicate fabric of your tie.
