Custom Suits for Fall Weddings
Here at Watson Ellis weβve personally been attending more weddings than ever this fall. We've also been making more wedding suits and tuxedos than ever before. We know next year will bring even more! If youβre anything like us, then you probably look online for inspiration on what to wear to the next wedding on the calendar. Hereβs what we, along with our very stylish clients, have been into lately.
Custom tuxedo versus custom suit
Whatβs the difference between a suit and a tuxedo? We break it down for you and include a handy image showcasing the differences.
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.
How much does it cost to get a custom suit made?
One of the biggest concerns people have in shopping around for a custom suit is cost. It's no secret that getting a custom suit made can be expensive. But how expensive? And why should you shell out for it instead of just getting something off the rack? Considering the interest in the topic, we thought we'd write a post on the cost of our custom wear at Watson Ellis and how / why we believe it's justified.
Men's Suits For Warm Weather
As work travel starts up again, many northerners will be heading south to warmer climates for conferences and face-to-face meetings. At least that's what we've heard from many of our clients lately. As such, we're bringing you some tips on warm weather suiting that will help you to look your best and feel comfortable while you're at it.
White Wedding Pant Suits for the Bride
Lately, Iβve had several clients come to me looking for a custom white bridal tuxedo. Itβs an incredible look when done right, and Iβve been so happy with how the ones we have created so far have turned out.
Real clients in real custom suits
Except for some of our earliest shots, all the photos on our website are of real clients wearing suits that we have actually made. We use real clients to model our suits, not models (although some of our clients have actually been models, which is great too!), because we want everyone to see how great they too could look in a custom suit. We want to give an accurate impression of what we can do for you. And because we think our clients are truly beautiful and we want to celebrate them.
Best custom suits for your husband
Weβve recently noticed that itβs often wives / girlfriends who are doing the legwork to find their husbands a great custom suit, be it for a wedding or just to wear to work. This post is for those wives and girlfriends out there. What we want to tell you is that you should definitely be bringing your husbands to us.
