Keep Tailoring Alive

We could go on for days on how things have changed in the world of men’s fashion. With convenience sometimes being of vital importance, we take away from the vital intricacies that were once very important to a man’s style.  Not to say taking your suit to the dry cleaners for alterations is not important, but wouldn’t the experience be that much better if it were in a tailoring shop?

This is a place of business where they take pride in making your garments the way you specifically want them.  In a place like this you can find a common ground when it comes to style and cut. Being that the person measuring you for alterations is probably in a tailored suit him self, he understands and knows what you are looking for. This makes for a more carefree and comfortable experience knowing that when you come back to pick up your suit you don’t have to worry about a garment not fitting right. In earlier years of menswear the purchasing of a suit undoubtedly involved getting it tailored to fit you. Now in modern society you can go into a store and purchase a suit right off the rack. Also with today’s technology and online shopping you can buy them off your computer.

Sometimes these options of convenience are very convenient! I honestly feel that we should not let modern society take away from us a classic tradition. This is one aspect of men’s fashion that I would like to see stay around. But sadly enough I see it dying out as far as retailers with a small network of shops still around the U.S. It’s like going to the barbershop, or visiting your favorite boutique. You establish this relationship as a family. There is no better feeling than knowing you are in good hands when it comes to your personal looks.
