Why should you invest in a Bespoke Suit?

A branded suit in a departmental store could cost you close to $500 if not more and an off the rack suit for $500 does not come with a perfect fit guarantee. Ready made suits are made based on average sizing and there are very little chances that the suit is going to fit you perfectly as is. More than likely you will then have to get either the sleeve length altered or pants and jacket taken in to make sure the suit fits you well. This exercise could easily cost you between $100-$150 and add it up and you have in reality got the suit for $650. There is not much sense in spending that much on a suit if you have 100 other people wearing the same suit!

If you intend to spend anything over $500 on a suit then you are better off investing that money on a Bespoke suit. Bespoke in layman’s language means a clothing item made to the clients specification. You can even have a bespoke lounge or bespoke computer software, which means a product that has been customized to your specification. But the term Bespoke is often used only for men’s clothing.

The advantage of bespoke suits is that the buyer has total control over the fabric, the fit of the suit (weather a gym instructor who want a suit to fit him like a glove or you are a big bloke who prefers a relaxed fit) and the styling of the suit. 

The biggest advantage of investing in a bespoke suit is that you are in the drivers seat and decide on the budget you want to spend, the fabric color, the lining color down to little details as weather you want 3 or 4 buttons on the sleeves. Bespoke tailors guarantee a perfect fit because they take 20 precise measurements of your body. Master tailor then will make a paper pattern based on those measurements just for you. With the 30 years of experience that our master tailors have at Bentex Suits, the chances are 95 out of 100 times suit will fit you perfectly. 

Usually you would spend hours and hours of your time shopping around for a suit and trying out a few suits before you can finalize the one that you want and another few hours of your time to make sure that its altered to your measurements. 

At Bentex Suits we take away the hours from your suit buying process. With us your bespoke suit requires only couple hours of your time and in 4 easy steps you will have your perfectly fitting customized suit just as you wanted it.

What is the difference between Suit and Tuxedo?

We, at Bentex Suits often have grooms come to us who have no clue what the difference between suit and Tuxedo. Well, the main point of difference is the use of satin Tuxedos. Tuxedos have Satin facing on the lapels, satin covered buttons, satin pocket trim on pockets and a satin tape running down the side seam of your pants. Traditional tuxedo pants do not have belt loops on them, as you are not meant to be wearing belt with Tuxedo pants. Tuxedos have been made famous by James bond movies, that’s is why we also refer to Tuxedo or Dinner jacket as Bonds Jacket.

Suits typically will have collars made in same fabric as rest of the jacket with plastic buttons or you could even request buttons covered in self-fabric if you are getting your suits made. Suit pants have belt loops and can have cuffs.

The other point of difference would be the accessories that are worn with Tuxedos. Tux or Dinner jacket is usually worn with Dress Shirt, vest, Cummerbund and Bow Tie.

 ·       Dress Shirt – Dress shirt is not your usual business shirt. It’s a formal shirt with pin tucking detail at the front and comes with Wing collar or a 2inch classic collar and French cuff. Many people prefer to have contrast buttons on the placket – for example if you are wearing a black tux with white shirt you could have contrast buttons on the placket which will match back to your dinner jacket.

·       Vest – Dinner suits/Tuxedos are also worn together with vest to complete the look. The front of the vest is made in same fabric as suit and the back is made in satin fabric. To add more glamour to your Tuxedo you can also opt for contrast vest or a double-breasted vest.

·       Cummerbund – is a sash made in satin fabric same fabric as collar lapel and buttons and is worn around the waist.

·       Bow Tie – Bow Tie is also made in the same satin fabric as cummerbund and collar lapel. There are clip on bow ties or the traditional tie it your-self bow tie.

·       Shoes – Tuxedos must be worn with Shiny patent leather shoes only and preferably with laces.

Suits are usually worn with Basic men’s dress shirt, vest and a Necktie.

Most common colors for Tuxedos/Dinner Jackets are Black, Grey and White. If you want to be a hint different try a navy blue Tuxedo - like the one in the latest 007 movie or the once from the latest SAG awards red carpet!
