History of elbow patches in suits

#TeachingsTuesdays

Elbow patches were first implemented by the upper classes in the 1900s. Predominantly, people involved in shooting and hunting wore blazers with elbow patches to add a distinguishing factor to their attire and also to enable their fabric’s long durability.      

As a style, the patches were leather or similar materials to help with less wear and tear. Also, these patches were tailored in contrasting colors. For a light-hued blazer, the patches would be dark, and vice versa. 

“I’m comfortable wearing a suit.” —David Gandy

#MotivationalMondays

David Gandy was a long-time lead model for designers worldwide. He once said that individuality is more important than trends. He suggests we must not believe much in trends but in individual confidence. Even today, his saying is apt because most designers in the current trend follow his words and strongly believe in individual ideas, style, and confidence rather than the trend.

David Gandy is comfortable in a suit. How about you?

The specialty of roll collars in suits

#TeachingsTuesdays

The roll collar is a shawl lapel that’s made of a single element or fabric. Unlike other collar types, it has no parts of the notch. This round-shaped collar extends from the neck of the suit to right below the chest region. This collar is apt for tuxedos, and over the years, it has become the characteristic feature of a tuxedo. Mostly, the material of the collar is satin, silk, or any shiny fabric.

Altogether, this collar gives your suit an elegant and minimalistic look without compromising on grandeur.

“If people turn to look at you on the street, you are not well dressed, but either too stiff, too tight, or too fashionable.” — Beau Brummel

#MotivationalMondays

How beautifully Beau Brummel had said that people look back at you only if you’re either poorly dressed or too fashionable! This longtime arbiter of British men’s fashion, in a way, separates fashion from well-dressing. Because ‘being well dressed’ means all the aspects of your attire are well balanced. But in fashion, you cannot expect balance every time. Sometimes, the balance is obscure and leads to unfashionable attire.
