Slim Is In

by Alan Vinson

Suits are taking on a decidedly slimmer look both in the pants and jackets. Today's updated suit has a trimmer overall look, with clean lines and natural shoulders rather than the bit more padded extended shoulders that have been the look for so many years. Some men are even opting for plain front pants, however we still recommend pleated pants for your suits. Having said that however, you would do well to have your pants made a bit less full through the leg/thigh area to reflect todays updated styling. An updated suit should have a closer fit while still having great comfort. Also, two button coats with slimmer lapels and a higher button stance are now solidly more popular than three button suits. Last year we made more two button jackets than three button coats for the first time in several years. Side vents are still a popular style, however the center vent has regained popularity even with the most fashion forward designers. As a designer myself, for years I have been a "side vents guy", but the suit I have on order for myself right now is styled with a center vent. It is probably the first center vent coat I've made for myself in over 10 years! And, of course, don't forget the features. Make sure you ask for working buttonholes on the sleeves (surgeon's cuffs), and pic-stitching on the lapels and pocket flaps. These details really add a little something to the suit, and shows that it was made well enough to warrant the extra details. I also recommend doing a little something with the lining inside the coat. You don't have to get crazy, but give it a little thought next time you have a suit made. A burgundy, or gold lining with herringbone or paisley can add character, and I have some very beautiful new choices with which to to line your coats. Of course I hope to create something for you soon. Nothing lifts a man's spirit, and puts a pep in the step like sporting a new suit of clothes!!

More Choices than ever in the New Year

These days when you buy a suit from J.T. Vinson Co. you have more choices than ever. For example, you might want to try our made-to-measure suits from $500-$1,000 each. This suit is made by machine and will compare favorably to suits purchased for MORE off the rack. Next, we have custom clothing from the classic American tailoring houses, which have been making the best clothing in the United States for nearly 100 years. I have built my business, and my name quite literally on these finely made garments. This range of suits sell for $900-$2,400 and include the fabrics from brand name mills such as Zegna, Holland and Sherry, Loro Piana, and others. And finally, we also make a “Hand Sewn” garment. This is a suit that is custom made for you and sewn completely by hand. You could not find a superior garment for less than $4,000 in a retail store. Brands such as Brioni and Kiton come to mind, however I would put a “Hand-Sewn” from JT Vinson up against a Brioni any day. Our “Hand-Sewn” suits start at $2,500 each and go up from there depending on the fabric. These are reserved for gentlemen who desire the very best the world has to offer when it comes to their garments.

In the tie department we still offer all the latest choices from old favorites like Vineyard Vines, Peter Blair, Thatcher Spring, as well as our own JT Vinson private label ties. Plus I am always on the lookout for up and coming tie designers that are “breaking out”, so you’ll always be able to see some things that are really starting to catch on before they do. If I do say so myself our own private label collection just keeps getting better. In this line you’re always guaranteed to find a great assortment of high quality ties from $55 - $75 each, and I know you’ll love the way they tie.

With custom shirts, we are adding new swatches constantly. There are always new and interesting variations on white and blue shirts that will add some variety to your staple colors. Striped and checked shirtings are always present in interesting variations of color and pattern. Shirts like these are great for making more interesting dress shirts or sport shirts. I highly recommend an order of 6-8 new custom shirts at a minimum each year to add freshness and life to the clothes you already have, and JT Vinson will always have plenty of great options to choose from when it comes to beautiful shirts!

With all of these choices, and a professional planner to help guide you in your personal decision making, you simply cannot do better than J.T. Vinson Clothiers when it comes to looking your best with the utmost conveneience, quality and value added. As a small family owned business, we certainly appreciate your business, and look forward to each and every opportunity we have to serve you. We wish you every success in the new year and beyond!
