Men Silk Suit Sets
From LoveToKnow Men's Fashion
As if finding men’s silk suits wasn’t hard enough, finding men’s silk suit sets can be downright impossible. The good news is that, if you want a set matching the shirt, jacket, vest and trousers, you can always go to a good tailor have something custom designed for you. That way, it will fit you perfectly, be exactly what you want and probably won’t cost you much more than you were prepared to spend in a shop.
Designing Men’s Silk Suit Sets
Silk used to be one of the most popular summer fabrics for men and women alike. Organic silk adapts to its climate, so that it can keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, without adding bulk. Combine silk with wool to create a more constructed hang, but it is still a light fabric, comfortable and easy to wear.
Tailors used to work with silk all the time, but there are many who now prefer not to, or will charge you considerably more money for designing a suit in pure silk, because the fabric can be a little more challenging to work with. That is frustrating, but a really quality tailor should enjoy working with silk and will only charge you appropriately. Either way, it’s worth it, because a good men’s silk suit set, made from a high-quality silk, is something special.
Online Tailors
Some of the best silks in the world are from Italy and Asia, and thus, so are most of the best tailors who work in silk. Nevertheless, the Internet allows you to travel without leaving home, so that while it’s preferable to go in to a tailor for measurements and fittings, you can still do all right with online ordering.
You can’t do any better than to start at the Silk Suit Store, an online tailor shop specializing in men’s and women’s silks. The shop, based in Bangkok, Thailand, is renowned for producing quality work. You can have your custom order within about four weeks. The prices are comparatively low and best of all, if you don’t see what you want from the selection at hand, you can custom design your own. Bear in mind that the men’s suits they usually make are wool blends, so you will definitely have to ask for your men’s silk suit set.
My Custom Tailor, also based in Bangkok, designs clothing in a wide range of fabrics, blends and styles.
Hong Kong is also famous for the quality of its tailoring, to the point where some professional men and women will schedule one or two trips a year there to have new suits made from the old ones. Since most people can’t afford such a luxury, they opt instead for shopping online, and a good source is Men’s Wear Tailor. They work in pure silks, as well as a range of other fabrics and blends. They have a variety of styles and can easily accommodate whatever you need. While their clothes will take more like six to eight weeks to get to you, it’s very much worth the wait as they are all about the little details that make a silk suit individual and unforgettable.
There is also the Baron Boutique, a United Kingdom based online tailor that makes a range of excellent silk jackets, shirts and trousers. They don’t have quite as much of a silk selection, but you can still do some nice mixing and matching.
