Best Myths About Bespoke Suits Adelaide Tips You Will Read This Year

 These days there are many myths surrounding the bespoke tailoring industry and these myths are more prevalent among the new clients who are sometimes more influenced by the social media and can result in getting the worst form of clothing made for themselves rather than what actually is in trend or looks good on them according to their body structures.

So, here we are dispelling some of these myths regarding bespoke shirts and hope that this will help people choose wisely before ordering a bespoke shirt for themselves.

Myth#1. A bespoke shirt should be slim fit

There is no such rule that if the shirt is being made on order and with particular measurements, then it should be slim fit or body-hugging. It all depends on the body type of the customer and the type of shirt they desire to have. This also depends on the elasticity of the fabrics and for what purpose the shirt is required? A person who has a slim or athletic frame should go for slim fit shirts. One should always keep in mind that we as humans put on weight or lose weight with diet and lifestyle. So, investing in an expensive shirt should be done in view of this. Don’t go for too tight or too loose shirts but a shirt which drapes well and looks good on your torso. Rest, it’s a personal preference.

Myth#2. Floating inter-linings/ unfused collars are better?

Well, it’s indeed more challenging to make a floating inter-lining collar but these types of collars are the thing of the past. They were prevalent earlier but since the advent of the fused collars, they have gone out of trend. They are indeed a headache for the tailors as well as the client but some clients still prefer to have these. On the other side fused collars are easier to make, easier to maintain (iron), and look neat and aesthetically beautiful. They are sturdier than the spineless floating collars which only have the advantage of being a little softer than fused collars.

The only problem with inter-lining collar is the bubbling of collars which happens after 6-7 months of use. This actually happens when the collar inter-lining has not been fused with using the right amount of heat and pressure, which is unattainable with ordinary irons. It requires an industrial type of setting to fuse inter-lining with good craftsmanship like ours for creating perfect collars.

Myth#3. Thicker buttons are more durable than thin ones?

People have a misconception that thick buttons are more durable than thin ones and they are also of better quality than the thin ones. This myth might hold some water but the fact is that thin buttons are easier to operate than thick ones. Thick buttons put unnecessary pressure on the shirt fabric and buttonhole especially if the shirts are made of satin or rayon and this can tear a beautiful shirt. Aesthetically too, thick buttons look ugly and appear as if a mini-cooper has been fitted with the tires of a Hummer. They also make the tie appear protruding. So, thinner plastic buttons are better than ugly thick buttons except for the original mother of pearl buttons.

As the name suggests, these buttons are made from the mother of pearls meaning the shell of the pearls. These buttons are very durable and long-lasting and shall never break with wear and tear too. The only thing is that they are very expensive and it is not easy to find genuine ones or of the best quality.

Myth#4. Machine-made is not as good as handmade?

Nearly, seventy percent of the people who invest in bespoke clothing have this wrong understanding that machine-made is not as good as handmade and some even consider machine-made not bespoke at all. In today’s world, we have very high tech machines that are operated with high-end software and computer programs. These machines can cut the fabric, embroider, emboss, and stitch much faster and better than human hands. Overall the work done by these machines is better than some humans. Still, with this state of the art technology, we need skilled and experienced tailors and machine operators who can control these machines and create marvelous products that are not an easy task.
