Suit patterns

Dec 022010

Suit patterns are just as important as suit style, fit and color. There are four main suit designs to consider: solid, pinstripe, windowpane, and check patterns.

Solid

Solid Suit are suits that consist of one color with no built in patterns. These suits must differentiate themselves with pocket, button, lapel, and vent style. They are neutral and safe for all situations.

Pinstripe

Pinstripe suits have vertical lines of color evenly spaced throughout the suit. These stripes of color can vary in thickness depending on the designers vision. Pinstripes give the wearer a more authoritative look.

Window Pane

Window pane suits have either a square or rectangular pattern throughout the suit. This is created with the use of widely spaced horizontal and vertical stripes. These suits are more stylish than the previous models.

Plaid

The plaid suit is a type of check patterned suit with a higher cost due to its type of material and tailoring.

Check Patterns

The check patterned suit is similar to the window pane suit with one exception. This suit has every other square or rectangle filled with horizontal lines. Wear this suit as one of your more trendy stylish versions.

Urban suits are a new phenomenon that is catching on quickly among consumers. These suits have a unique style that is drastically different from the classic contemporary styles you find in older models.

I wrote this article to give the average consumer as much information on the subject of urban suits as possible. It is my goal to enlighten the reader on the differences and similarities of urban and non urban wear. Following this I will tell you what brands are popular and where to get them.

This suit comes with the same parts as the traditional suit. As always you will find: lapels, buttons, shoulder padding, pockets, and even inner lining. These parts will almost always be present on all models but will be styled in a unique way of their own.

The fundamental difference in this suit is the aerodynamic design to the suit. Urban models have a unique cut that gives them a streamlined youthful aura that transcends traditional models.

The consumer on the prowl for a more urban looking suit should find a model with lean lapels, tight shoulders, and slit pockets. This consumer will want to match this type of jacket with a pair of pants that extend to the ankles without cuffs or pleats.

Major brands carrying these types of suits include: Sean John, Tommy Hilfiger, Perry Ellis, and Steve Harvey. Stay away from vintage brands like Botany 500 or older designer models such as Pronto Uomo.

These suits are harder to find at the retail level because they are not carried in many rural and suburban areas. Look to find this type of suit in larger cities like New York or Philadelphia. Otherwise you should check out the many different online vendors for some great bargains.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Use this knowledge to make your next purchase more fruitful than all of your other suit purchases combined.

Learn how to iron a shirt, and your life will become much easier. This skill can save you from having to pay out money for dry cleaning and will have you looking sharp.

Ironing a shirt is not that hard to do but there are a few tips that will help you along the way.

Things you will need:

1. Ironing Board – I prefer the large version that stands above my waist. This is much better than its smaller counterpart for in home use. Buy the smaller one only if you plan on packing it up for frequent travel.

2. The Iron – Look for one that has a button to shoot both water and steam out of it. This will save you from having to get a spray bottle and possibly a steam cleaner.

How to Iron a Shirt:

1. Set up your ironing board in a place where it cannot fall over.

2. Fill your iron up with cold water.

3. Set the iron to the temperature your shirt has specified.

4. Plug the iron into an outlet and stand it up on your ironing board.

5. Spread your shirt out on the ironing board using natural creases in the shirt to section pieces off.

6. Spray the shirt lightly with water using your iron.

7. Place the hot part of the iron onto the shirt and begin to move it vertically up and down the shirt in smooth strokes.

Be sure not to leave the iron on any one place of the shirt for more than a few seconds or it will start to burn and ruin your shirt.

8. Immediately place the shirt on a hanger when finished.

Clean a tie

Anyone who has ever worn a necktie has probably experienced some version of the following: You’re eating dinner at a fine restaurant, thoroughly enjoying your meal and having a terrific time. Then, all of a sudden a blob of spaghetti sauce drops smack-dab onto the middle of your new yellow tie – leaving an ugly red stain. In an instant, your good times dissipate as you now realize that this is the “power tie” you were going to wear in tomorrow’s board meeting. Looking at the blotch on your tie, you are your appetite. Want to avoid this situation? There are a few measures you can take.

Depending on the fabric of the tie – whether fine silk, wool, or even cotton – the very smallest of stains can ruin it! Stains on a necktie are notoriously hard to remove, therefore, the first line of defense against stains, is to keep them from happening in the first place.

A tie tack can work wonders when it comes to keeping your tie clean and out of your bowl of soup. Nevertheless, while a tie tack does a nice job of holding the tie in place, it also puts a tiny hole into the fabric. To prevent these unsightly puncture wounds, but still keep your tie safe and tight, try putting the tack underneath the tie, through the label.

Still, tie tack or no tie tack, there will come a time when you subject your tie to an especially bad stain. When this happens you have to act quickly before the stain has a chance to really set into the fabric. For most accidents, you should immediately blot the stain lightly with cold water – or club soda if it is available. That will help prevent the stain from setting in, although it is never guaranteed. For especially greasy stains, water simply won’t work because the stain will resist it. In the case of a nasty greasy stain, apply talcum powder to the spot as soon as possible. If you act quickly enough, the powder will absorb the oil or grease from the fabric, and you will be able to gently wipe the stain away.

If cold water and/or talcum powder just doesn’t get rid of the messy stain, in order to salvage the tie you may want to try a specialty tie-cleaning service. Though it can be costly, a tie service will completely take apart your tie, clean the fabric, and then reassemble it. If you do choose a tie-cleaning service, investigate their cleaning process first to make sure they will properly care for your tie. Some services simply throw the tie in the wash and then simply press it flat.
