Melissa talks about how you’re going to fill out your business wardrobe: where you should start, and where you can go from there. Suits and shirts for tomorrow.
What does your current business wardrobe look like right now? Tell us in the comments below.
What is a Made to Measure suit? If you want a suit with a custom fit, and personalized options like buttons, stitching, and pockets, then a Made to Measure suit a great idea. The Made to Measure suiting at Gotstyle begins at $995 for a domestic suit, or $1200 for a full-canvas suit made in Italy.
Armando, our Made to Measure manager shares the benefits of a Made to Measure suit in our newest video, so check it out!
Now this video isn’t aimed at the Gotstyle guy (you’re the 30% of guys that get it).

The $2,000 is based on:
Sports coat brands include: Strellson, Cinque, Stones, SAND, Moods of Norway, Not Your Father’s Suit, Without Prejudice, and Gotstyle Private Label.
In the video, I’m talking a lot about half canvas and full canvas suits. What is canvas and why is it so important?
The canvas in a suit is the basis of suit tailoring; it’s the material (usually horse hair canvas) that is between the lining and the cloth of the jacket. Having a canvas jacket respects the true natural of the fabric, allowing it to breathe, move and fall better on the wearer. The more you wear a canvas suit, the more it molds to your body. A fused suit is more rigid and stiff and sits away from the body.
A canvas jacket also maintains its shape after time and repeated cleanings and doesn’t “bubble” like a fused suit does. A canvas jacket also helps to distribute stress points evenly on the suit, which helps to contain the wear and tear of the cloth – helping prolong the life of the suit. If you’re wearing a suit everyday, it’s worth it to pay more and get a suit that will last longer and look better on you.
Another quick note:
Cinque starts at a size 36 but we can do a special order for size 34 (46 and 44 European)
Paul Betenley now starts at size 36 (not 38 as mentioned in video)
Both LAB and TConcept start at size 34 (44 European)
Imagine what makes a proper gentlemen and tweed comes to mind. Not the ill-fitting and frizzy, oversized kind that your elders wear – we’re talking about a modern cut and softer material against your skin. And you can wear one almost anywhere.
