Spring/Summer Prt V: Welcome to The Majors with Scabal

This new Scabal collection is intended to be both refreshing and elegant.

Scabal opted for a palette of summery colors ranging from natural and colonial tones in the San Remo and Mosaic collections to shades of grey and more formal blues in the Mayfair and Flamingo Bay qualities. This season also sees touches of light blue, white and lilac for details and accessories.

The subtle blends of cotton and linen, merino wool and mohair, or the purity of a Super 120's or 150's wool, will certainly respond to your style requirements. The models range from a sober two-piece suit to a soft jacket elegantly combined with chino trousers and a polo-shirt. The lines are elegant, pure and fitted.

We hope that this look book inspires you and that these garments make you want to dress up in Scabal for any occasion.

The Heavy Weights in Luxury Shirtings

Tessitura Monti: Tessitura Monti is a pedigree collection known worldwide for the distinguished gentlemen. The Monti family has owned and controlled the quality of these fine Italian shirtings for 100 years consistently. They spin their own yarns and dye their own cloths internally, about an hour north of Venice, Italy. We chose the I Dogi collection for our clients which are their very best selling 100's 2 ply Egyptian cottons. We selected a very balanced collection of solids, stripes and checks that are sure to please the most discriminating client.

Thomas Mason: Thomas Mason, a name synonymous with high end quality, we have chosen this popular luxury brand to offer our clients better value. These collections of Egyptian cotton 100's 2 ply have made this line very popular among clients for its feel and finish. Woven by Albini of Italy since 1992, the namesake Sir Thomas Mason first started weaving fine cotton shirts in England in 1796. Many retailers have branded their collections with Thomas Mason cloths but having one custom made is truly the best way to enjoy this pure elegance. Simply put, you have to see for yourself…custom shirts from these collections start at $295.00.

The New White with a Little Hot Sauce On It!

If you watch any news channel or American Idol you can't help but notice the resurgence of the classic white shirt.

Gone are the voluminous pinpoint button downs and broadcloth's with narrow point collars. It's the same fabric in new updated collars and silhouettes.

Today, we introduced the "Perennial Classic" Shirtings. This bunch has a great selection of pinpoints and broadcloth's that are stocked in the factory and ready to be cut! The only thing missing is you! The new S-range 140's 2 ply is an incredible value as a luxury staple. But make no mistake about it….It's all in the styling...

For example, if you’ve notice, the new white shirt has a trimmer sleeve, 4-5 inch allowance throughout the body, a 3-1/4 inch British spread collar with classic french cuffs. This may all seem greek to you, however this simply means sleeker is in…flex your muscles and show off your hard work.

This style compliments classic tailored clothing. For the distinguished gentleman who prefers to sport a narrower lapel, we will suggest his shirt collar in a 2-3/4 windsor collar with the trimmer sleeve option, and give a 3-4 inch allowance over skin throughout the body. The result…smoking hot!

If you don’t believe me, use this look with a thinner tie and you have created that Ryan Seacrest look.

This new Perennial program lends itself well for clients who are looking to "stock up” on the basics, and add a little hot sauce to the wardrobe...

C'Mon! You Can't Be Serious Pt II

What a difference a few days and a custom suit make. I posted Part I of this blog on Wednesday, March 11th not realizing the turn of events that would take place by the end of the week. Last week I talked about my misfortunes because of my failure of not knowing the language of opportunity. But redemption is a sweet reward.

While leaving an appointment in Bryn Mawr around 2:00PM on Friday, I received a phone call from one on my new high profile clients who needed immediate attention for an event that was taking place that evening at 6:00PM. I needed to style a member of his team for the event, deliver and make sure everything fit and looked perfectly by 5:15PM. I was still an hour away from downtown. This was going to be tough. Especially, when I never met the person. This was worst than a blind date. From what I have heard...

Needless to say everything went better than expected (more details in the Blog post, “Opportunities of a Lifetime). I get to the event; I mingle a little, make sure my clients are all ok and look great. By the way, hearing the compliments on their appearance was enough for me to make my day considering the last minute challenges.

As the event is moving along the program starts and in comes the MC of the event. HOLY SCHUCKS! It’s the same person. The same prospective client that I missed 7 years ago! You know, remember the post…me, with the ashy legs and crusty feet? Old shorts and shirts in the super market? What a difference!

I’m excited to say the least. Seven years ago I was at my worst. Friday, I am at work at my best. He can’t stand a chance now! I’m going for it again!

Let me use an imaginative brush and paint the picture. My attire, nothing over stated. Clean lines. Simple, classic style and killer fabrics. I decided to do layers in shades of blue. Chris Webber can appreciate this. He tried to pull it off but it didn’t work. Let’s start with my suit. It was a 2-Button Super 150’s Dark Navy tone on tone from our Yorkshire/Red Line Collection ($1,295.00). My shirt was a Light Blue Herringbone Weave Shirt with the Italian wide spread collar and scalloped cuffs from Norwich Collection ($150.00). I topped it off with a Dark Navy tie w/White Mini Polka-Dots from our handmade tie collection ($175.00). The accessories from my watch, shoes and belt were all in sync, black with silver accents. I was looking to go to work!

The roles where completely reversed. I felt like he was the guy with the inappropriate attire in the supermarket. I could have looked down on him but I saw this as a chance to be an asset by helping him get to the next level in his profession. I heard Bernie Mac say, "Dress for the part you want, not for the part you are currently playing."

When the opportunity presented itself I walked over, introduced myself and we began to have a different conversation than the one we had seven years ago. It was obvious he didn’t remember me and I wasn’t foolish enough to bring it up.

As I am writing this post I can’t help but smile at the fact that seven years ago there was a look of disdain in his eyes but Friday night it was a completely different look. I can’t explain it but I felt like I was one of his most trusted advisors. He was hanging off of my every word. It was amazing to say the least.

At the end of the day, I left with more information in the time that we talked than I could have ever gotten from any other appointment. There is no question in my mind that he will be a wearing the Stitched Custom Clothing apparel in 6 weeks or less.

In closing, I shake my head side to side thinking to myself, “Isn’t funny how much a difference a well tailored custom suit opens doors of opportunities and changes a person perspective?”
I am blessed to get another shot at this. I hope you do not take the same road that I did for your opportunity. Take the time and do it right the first time. Seven years is a long time to wait for a second chance.

Zegna's Trofeo & Cool Effects Make a Lethal Combination

GREAT NEWS! We are excited to be offering you the Spring/Summer 2011 Trofeo Collection of Luxury Jacketings from Ermenegildo Zegna. This collection also features 5 "Cool Effects" that will help you in more ways than one...

TROFEO 600 - 'TROFEO' is a legendary fabric owing its name to the excellence of the raw materials used in making it. The most precious of wools is woven with 15% naturally lustrous silk. The measure of the silk count is 600. The 600 silk yarns is the finest existing on the market, as it is five times finer than a high quality wool yarn. The natural luster of the silk highlights the fineness and appeal of wool, making the 'TROFEO 600' fabric an ideal fabric for summer jackets. Naturally bright, light, with a subtle sheen and a smooth silky touch. Ideal for day or night, it is for men who love the look of silk, but also insist on the performance of wool.

COOL EFFECT - This seasons 'High Performance Cool Effect', blazers in the collection offer protection against the heat produced by natural sunlight, by reflecting the suns rays. The classic 'High Performance' woolen fabric from the Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna is given an exclusive wash treatment. This enables the surface of dark fabrics to replicate the properties of white fabrics, reflecting 80% of direct sunlight, where they would normally only reflect 20%, thus minimizes heat build up and cooling the effect of the summer sun. The 'Cool Effect' treatment does not affect the fabrics handle, which remains light, soft and sumptuous offering the wearing not only an impeccable appearance but also maximum comfort in hot climates.

These luxury sport jackets will be available for order beginning Monday, April 18th. Call to schedule your appointment today!
