Does anyone wear French-cuffed shirts casually? I mean with jeans?

May 4th, 2009

I bought a very nice Perry Ellis shirt the other day. It seems like it’d be more of a casual shirt than a dress shirt…but it has french cuffs. Is it ok to wear french-cuffed shirts with jeans? Should I buy cuff-links also? I really like the French cuffs, I want to start buying more of them

Traditionally, French cuffed shirts are meant to be worn for formal occasions. While you may certainly wear them without ties, it is recommended that you wear them with at least a jacket. Not doing so is considered a faux paux. However, these days, I see a lot of French cuff shirts that are of casual design. If you have such a shirt, you can certainly be adventurous and wear these for less formal occasions with perhaps sweaters and a pair of nice slacks. But wearing them with jeans or khakis defeats the purpose. I would recommend pairing your FC shirt with a dark pair of slacks (navy blue, or gray, or perhaps black) and a good sweater. And a good odd jacket or sport coat, if that is possible. And if you are wearing a french cuffed shirt, you must wear it with cuff links, or silk knots (unless you are planning on rolling up the sleeves).

Blue dress shirts with white, tabbed collars and white French cuffs?

May 1st, 2009

So I’ve seen these shirts worn in the movie “Payback” and in various tv shows, Law and Order, to name but one. But I can’t find them for sale anywhere!!

What I’m looking for is where I can buy blue dress shirts with white tabbed collars and white French cuffs… I can find blue shirts with white collars and white cuffs, but not with TABBED white collars… Any ideas???

Thanks!!

I looked up tabbed collars because I didn’t know what that was, and found these:

What fabrics should I request for a custom suit?

April 26th, 2009

I need your help. While on holiday in Asia, a tailor approached me on Orchard Street in Singapore. He persuaded me to let him take my measurements should I ever decide that a custom suit was for me. Although skeptical, I let him measure me.

For S$150 (which is something like US$125), he makes and ships to me custom suits. He has the pattern books for some of the high-end designers. I tried out his services on some low cost mens dress shirts and I was very pleased. Now I’m going to order a custom suit, but I’m not sure of what fabrics to order.

Any ideas on what I should say?

1) Textures and stripes? What kind of textures?

2) What kind of material? I hear polyester will make it look cheap. I want it to look very high quality.

Please advise!

 

I love Italian wool, it is very soft, light, smooth and of the highest quality. dark colors with light or faint pin stripes, thin pin stripes with about one inch between them, offer a slender and taller look. I suggest going to a men’s fine clothier, such as Brook’s Brothers and check out the fabrics and styles. Oh two button jackets only, four buttons are out of style and three buttons are fading fast
