Well Suited

There’s nothing quite like a well-tailored suit. It makes a man seem taller, trimmer, and stronger. Whether you buy off-the-rack or made-to-measure, a tailor can transform a piece of cloth into a sartorial statement worth making.

Chris Lesar
outfitted by Yacoubian Tailors

Chris Lesar is sporting a beautiful houndstooth flannel suit with peak lapels, putting a refined spin on this old Welsh cloth. Paired with the more subtle-patterned shirt, complementary pocket square, and striped wool tie, the blending of textures and patterns creates a cohesive look.

Yacoubian Tailors:
Hart Schaffner & Marx flannel suit. Dion silk-wool tie. Eton cotton dress shirt and pocket square.

Troy Kemp
outfitted by Bruce Baird & Co.

Never be afraid to go bold. Troy Kemp’s ensemble illustrates that mixing patterns just takes a little balance. His blue-striped shirt subtly sets the tone for his bright yellow paisley tie to take center stage.

Southwick worsted wool two-button suit. Gitman Bros. cotton dress shirt. Robert Jensen silk tie. Seaward & Stern pocket square.

Kyle House

Black tie will never go out of style. Channeling James Bond in this classic tuxedo, Kyle House proves that you can never be overdressed.

Chad Smalley
wearing Tom James

Anchored by gray slacks and a crisp white shirt, Chad Smalley’s blue plaid sport coat creates drama without being too flashy.
