Okay let’s be honest; it’s nice when someone compliments you on your attire, isn’t it?

We appreciate when our efforts to look good don’t go unnoticed. As men, we don’t give nearly as much thought and attention to detail as do our female counterparts (and their finished product is oh so good to behold), but when we dress up we like to look our best too.

Have you ever seen your shirt, your tie, your suit, on someone else?Of course you have. Why? Because there are only so many men’s clothing stores, and everyone shops at the same places. So, it’s inevitable that you’ll see some of the same articles of clothing you own being worn by other people you encounter.

Consider this also; haven’t there been times when you bought a suit that just wasn’t fitted the way you’d like? (Honesty cont’d) You had it altered, but instead of feeling great, it was “good enough”. What about those shirts that you can hardly lift your arms in?

Guess that’s why they were on sale, huh?

There’s a much better way to wear your clothes - customization. At NELSON WADE, you can order Made to Measure shirts, ties, and suits. We’ll take your body measurements and custom design your clothing that doesn’t just look nice on the hanger or in the package, but feels great on. You pick the fabrics, textures, colors, etc.We’ll design your clothing around they way you like your clothes to fit your body. Clothes should let you move unrestricted, freely. NELSON WADE’s Made to Measure clothing will do just that, each and every time. And there’s a great chance that you won’t be seeing your clothes on someone else anytime soon.

Give us a call and we’ll help you Customize your Sense of Style.

NEW Luxury Italian Handmade Neckties.

2008-01-24T17:00:00.000-08:00

We are continuing to add to our Luxury Italian Handmade Silk Neckties. Our Collection is always evolving. We do not create a large inventory of neckties. This way our ties are very unique.

Our luxurious silk neckties are similar priced to other high quality neckties. But when you open the back of the tie, you will notice the fine Italian silk fabric extends across the entire rear blade of the tie providing an evenly weighted tie, which sits well against the chest.

Then a long, thick strand of colored twine or silk fastens are used to saddle-stitched the folds. This is our Italian handmade made tie. A hallmark of fine quality.

Suit Design & Styles by NELSON WADE

2008-01-22T14:51:00.000-08:00

Our made to measure suiting details/options are really quite large.....

We would be happy to design a made to measure suit to the style and details that you would prefer.

But, many of our customers still ask us.

How can I determine what are the basic styles or details, in a men's suit?

Well for example, let us give some general description for basic styles for a made to measure suit...

A British or English style suit, will have two or three button jackets with notched lapels. Double side vents, slant besom ticket flap pocket above the right side slant besom regular flap pocket with an interior change pocket. 1-1/2" cuff with single pleated or plain faced trousers.

Of course, another English classic suit style is the 4/6 button double breasted jacket with peaked lapels. The jacket would also have double side vents, ticket flap pocket above the right side regular flap pocket with an interior change pocket. 1-1/2" cuff with double pleated trousers.

Traditional or Updated Traditional style suit usually has two or three button jackets with notched lapels. The jacket also will have an center rear vent and regular besom flap pocket. 1-1/2" cuff with pleated or plain faced trousers.

Italian style suits are mostly 2 button jackets, with either peaked or notched lapels. Lower side piped pockets with no rear vent. Pleated and Plain face trousers with and with out cuffs. ( This particular style of suit has been coming back strongly, this last year, from many suit designers. We also feel this is always a classic style, no matter when! We would also recommend a rear center vent, but double side vents would be a great detail! )

Contemporary style suits also are mostly one button or two button jacket with either an notched or peaked lapels. No rear vents. Plain faced trousers with no cuffs.

So with this been said, we design our suits each differently to suit our clients tastes and desires. Each of our suits are all hand cut and stitch. The edges of the jacket is allways hand pick stitches. Our interior lining is always hand stitched rich burgundy silk lining with perspiration suit fabric pads. We also provide interior Standard/Card/Pen Pockets for our signature made to measure suit.

Also in the interior of our NELSON WADE® made to measure suit jacket, we personalize each suit with your own name.

So if you wish to create your personal signature style.
Then this is a great opportunity to allow us to design and create that signature
style with a large selection of suiting fabric materials.

We only have a small collection online. If you are looking for a particular color or pattern. Just inform us. We will go thru our sample books and send you by email, samples that would be available.

We hope this guides you to determine what details and the styles that suits your personality. We look forward to designing your next made to measure from NELSON WADE®.
