The One-Button Suit

#TeachingTuesdays
Let’s learn about the one-button suit this week.
I generally recommend the one-button suit jacket if you’re going for the fresh, hip look. This is because the single button forms a low V from the lapels, adding great emphasis to the lengthening or slimming effect.
You can get away with one button at most events—formal and social. But you may appear a bit casual in excessively ‘stuffy’ environments. I recommend this style if you need to show off your shirt/tie combo.

Business & Work Suits

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily.” –Zig Ziglar

I would recommend wearing a suit everyday for work, as it can improve your ability to see the bigger picture and make astute decisions. Not only should you always wear a suit to an interview, but you should also keep wearing one for every day of your working life – if you want to be successful, and who wouldn’t want it to be successful!

Why wear a suit

Why rent a tuxedo own a custom suit

#WeddingsByBucco
Whoever said that marriage can’t guarantee happiness, simply didn’t know where to buy suits.

Why more people are purchasing custom suits for their wedding instead of renting tuxedos.  Every part of your wedding day will stay with you forever, especially your pictures.  The last thing you want to do is look anything less than perfect. Every other detail of the wedding will be meticulous, and tailor-made for the two of you.

Fact tuxedo rentals have fallen out of style is not secret. Here are just a few reasons why Custom suits are taking over rentals.

  • your grandkids are going to see your pictures
  • A rental tuxedo can be rented at least 30 times or more before it is sold as used
  • A Custom Suit can be personalized with Wedding colors, even your initials and wedding date monogrammed and many more options.
  • Feel great and confident because of the fit and personalization.  Confidence is KEY!
  • It is practical because you can use the suit for many years to come

Jackets and Blazers office and free time

#FreestyleFridays
Is there anything called a suit for the weekend? I think so. I would recommend gentlemen this suit for cocktails and weddings. The material can range anything from flannel wool fabrics, cotton or linen. This is where you can express yourself with checks, stripes and an array of patterns. Keep the cut classic and go for a comfy fit for your weekend suit. To spice up the look with a bit of formal flair, I’d advise you to select high cut notch lapels.

Mens suits from the 40s

#ThrowbackThursdays
Here is another look from the 40’s. Remember Abbot and Costello  single-breasted suit jacket with pocket flaps, centre vent and a two-button fastening. I love this  jacket with a straight leg, belt loops and zip fly. It also comes with a matching waistcoat five buttons, two pockets and waist adjuster to back.  The look was inspirational then and today people are helping it to inspire others when it comes to what they should wear.

Pointed collar verse spread collar

#WearitWednesdays

Does your shirt have a ‘point collar’ or a ‘spread collar’

The spread collar and point collar are two of the most popular  shirt collar styles. While the length of the collar is the same the width of a point collar from point to point is smaller than the spread collar .  A spread collar will always visually make your face look wider and the point collar will make your face longer.  The spread collar also allows more room for a wider tie knot than the point collar, due to the extra space between the collar points.

Now let me explain how to wear shirts, having a point collar and what it’s best for. It’s great for anyone with a no-nonsense who wants to maintain a more streamlined wardrobe. For a casual, regular look, I would rather you try a spread collar shirt with jeans, dress pants or chinos.

How long should you jacket length be

#TeachingTuesdays
How should the bottom of the jacket be?
Historically, a jacket would have you drop your arms to your side. I’d suggest you cup your hands and check that the bottom of the jacket sat right in that ‘cup’. Jackets are being cut shorter these days and should fall somewhere right below your derriere. This is more liking to almost be the difference from the top half of your body to the bottom half of your body.  You will find ready made garments to be a little bit longer then Custom Suits. Custom Suits allow you to get the perfect length because it is made for you specifically

Motivational Mondays

#MotivationalMondays
Each of us has our own special sauce and blend of experiences that make us unique. In a world that is paradoxically becoming increasingly diverse, we seem to be increasingly struggling with our collective acceptance of diversity. And don’t even get me started on the whole inclusion part that goes along with it. It’s Monday, let’s celebrate our differences rather than condemn each other for them. This is a no-judgment zone!

Why Should You Own a Suit?

Do people call you a guy born in a suit? Take pride as a suit is a symbol of class and flamboyance. Can you recall the day you wore you first suit? You would have felt like a new born man…and this time with wings to fly.

 

Wearing a suit is more an art than a technique. Because the range of design, theme, cut and colour options are mind-blowing, you can feel like an artist at work with the suit on, may be fabulous even on a bad day. Here is why every man should own a suit.

 

#1 It shows what stuff you’re made of. Inner beauty is what’s more important is almost a cliché nowadays. The way you present yourself can either make or break things. This implies that the suit is no longer a formal wear to impress professionals, but something you can use to turn the tables in your favour.

#2 A suit can simply magnetize people and makes the wearer more credible and trustworthy. It is easy to sway people with the suit on. If your suit is picture-perfect, then onlookers may look upon you as a fashion influencer and trend-gazer.

#3 Do you want to become a storyteller and persuade people at will? Why not wear a bespoke suit and weave stories based on your suit’s pocket square, bow tie or lapel flower? Presenting yourself in a suit throws up fresh opportunities for networking and reaching out to people in a meet-up, conference, seminar or themed parties. Why waste an opportunity when it could serve as a potential starting point?

 

#4 With the suit on you become more organized, effective and productive. It makes you stand out from the tribe as an individual. By putting on the right accessories, you can perfect the art of dressing for the moment and make yourself more saleable to take up new positions, jobs or even mega projects in your stride.

 

#5 Are you someone choosy and contemplative with every move in life? Then, you could well spring surprises on the onlookers by selecting a suit with the right theme, pattern, design, cut and colour, pairing it with matchy-match accessories. Needless to say, your confidence and self-esteem is multiplied by manifold times. Staying away from the strict no-no’s such as cartoon ties or jokey and prints is also imperative. Remember your choice of suit is important to derive the right reaction and expected outcome.

 

We, at Bucco, have given birth to thousands of super heroes by providing them the right bespoke suit. Still looking for that perfect suit? Your search ends right here. Trust us; you’ll be glad you did this.

 

Know The Differences Between Wrinkle-Resistant And Non-Iron Dress Shirts

There are many who don’t understand the differences between Wrinkle-Resistant and Non-Iron Dress Shirts or try to do so. This week’s blog will enumerate the differences between Wrinkle-Resistant and Non-Iron Dress Shirts.

 

The first basic difference lies in the fact that you don’t have to iron Non-iron treated shirts after wash. They look completely sharp, flawless and professional all throughout the day and they would continue to do so even when they’re not treated. Also, they display better wrinkle-resisting performance when stashed against wrinkle-resistant shirts.

 

Wrinkle-resistant fabrics, on the other hand, require pressing or ironing after wash if you’re looking for a neat, professional appearance.

 

Non-Iron shirts can be worn as office wear on the weekdays with a bit of normal wash. The shirt remains relatively unchanged except from points of articulation such as the inside of the elbows.

 

In Terms Of Feel:

Wrinkle free shirts
Wrinkle-resistant treated fabrics led a similar feel and look like that of untreated fabrics. The fabric is subjected to the treatment during the finishing process instead of a fully furnished shirt making it more soft and breathable. Another highlight is that all proper cloth wrinkle-resistant fabric materials are 100% cotton.

 

Non-iron shirts are comparatively less breathable and less smooth in terms of feel. Therefore, check if non-iron shirts are made of 100% cotton only so that they are comfortable for extended wear.

In Terms Of Manufacturing:

Wrinkle-Resistant fabrics are treated with a water-based chemical process during the production process and not once the shirt is produced. The fabric is then ready to be cut to the required design and size specifications in the wrinkle-resistant fabric material.

 

Non-Iron shirts differ from wrinkle-resistant fabric in that they are cut and sewn to custom design and size specifications, and then suitably placed in a non-treatment vat. The process involves the use of specially prepared fabrics subjected to non-iron treatment saturating the entire shirt. Here the cotton fibres are bonded to each other at a molecular level and this makes the fabric tough to crease.

Other factors:

It should be remembered that the underlying fabric weight, cotton quality and weave of a fabric play a dominant part in its overall wrinkle resistance.

 

Usually, thinner fabric made of single ply construction will tend to wrinkle easily compared to 2-ply fabrics having a bit more body. Broadcloth (also called ‘poplin’) wrinkles quite easily if it’s thin. Therefore, if you are looking for a shirt that requires less maintenance, then go for pinpoint, twill or royal oxford.

 

High thread count fabrics (120s-170s) are considered to be tad more fragile and prone to wrinkling compared to other fabrics. This means the best natural wrinkle resistant fabric will have 80’s or 100’s 2-ply fabrics built.
