For all your velvet wedding suit and tuxedo needs

After having a velvet-tuxedo-seeking client come to us recently complaining about how he had been turned away by several other custom suit companies, we decided to write a post about the matter. See, we LOVE velvet, and we're very experienced at working with it -- it's a tricky fabric, so experience is essential. Whether it be a velvet winter wedding suit or a velvet tuxedo, we know how to turn out better garments in this material than anyone else.

WHY WE LOVE VELVET

Well, first off, because it's cool, classic and emanates confidence. We especially love it for weddings. The fabric's historic associations with luxury translates perfectly to a custom wedding look.

Velvet is especially great for a fall / winter wedding, indoor or outdoor, because it is typically warm and suited to the aesthetics that come with weddings at these times of year -- grand ballrooms, splintered yellowing light, and what have you. We also love velvet because it's flexible in terms of application: You can easily dip your toe in with velvet and just add it as a bit of flare to a custom look, or you can go all out in a full velvet suit. Both work.

Velvet holds color particularly well to allow for a wide range of hues also. Your partner is sure to love the way it blends well with any wedding color palette.

Perhaps most of all, we love velvet because it exudes a rare kind of confidence. To quote doubly from the New York Times:

"As Simon Curtis, an occupational therapist and a lecturer with the Sensory Integration Network in Britain, explained, “There is a different feeling each way you rub velvet, and that can be quite calming. It can give a feeling of calmness. Perhaps you do feel more confident in it".
