Autumn/Winter tailoring inspiration from A Suit That Fits

From the double breasted blazer to the Prince of Wales check and bold pops of colour, this season, multi-award winning tailoring company A Suit That Fits are tailoring classic garments with as much of an on-trend twist as you like – after all, it’s all bespoke and there are over forty billion style combinations at A Suit That Fits.

Product manager Mighel Critten says “We have hundreds of cloths for our customers to choose from this season – from the finest cashmere wools to luxurious silk blends; we work with the customer to design their bespoke suit or overcoat, which is carefully handcrafted. Double breasted styles, bold checks, inky blues and pops of colour give this season’s tailoring trends a very traditional feel. For a more subtle nod to this season’s trends, you can add pops of colour and patterns with our new linings – including tonic paisleys, textured circles, diamonds and bold colours.”

At A Suit That Fits, no two suits are exactly the same; there is a gallery of stock images for customers to choose from, and a selection to choose from for any fashion page.





How does the process work?

The team at A Suit That Fits work with customers to take their measurements and help them to design their bespoke suit; the suit is then handcrafted to their measurements. When the suit is ready, the customer will visit for a fitting to finesse their guaranteed fit and collect their bespoke suit.  A Suit That Fits have over 30 locations nationwide and prices start from £289 for a two-piece bespoke suit.

REPLAY LASERCLUB featuring: CHARLI XCX 

Milan, 18 September 2013—Replay presents Laserclub, a joint project with VICE, for the launch of the Laserblast Club Capsule Collectionwww.replay.it/laserblast

#Laserclub

A project whose protagonist and ambassador is the new princess of pop,Charli XCX. A 21-year-old British-sensation-in-the-making, Charli XCX is straight out of the East London rave scene. She just published her first and only full length album, True Romance, and is the hidden genius behind the Icona Pop hit "I Love It". She will be the face of the many expressions of Laserclub: a video teaser, two events, and a tour diary.

The Video

Featuring Charli enveloped in a club atmosphere with a massive use of video projections, the video teaser will be released online and in heavy rotation in the Replay flagship stores. In the video Charli is wearing Laserblast Club Collection jeans Luz WX689 393 295.

Laserblast Club Collection

CLUB and LASERBLAST. Night-time and the new frontiers of denim. These are the two dominant souls that have inspired the new Replay FW 2013-14 capsule collection. On the one hand there are electric vibrations and the rhythms and shadows of the night, on the other, Laserblast denim in its most technological, eco-oriented and low-impact version ever. Extremely striking, this collection succeeds in creating a dialog between coolness, technological progress and green conscience.






The journey continues...

10 October: Paris @ Le Bataclan

The first stop on the mini-tour is Paris, where we will follow Charli around the city before and after her stage performances. An intense line-up awaits you, as well as a stage set with strong impact: feast your eyes during the event on mappings, video projections and laser displays. Invitations will be available @ Le Citadium and @ Replay flagship store.

23 October: Munich

It’s Munich’s turn on October 23. Here, Charli, together with a series of local and international acts, will get the guests on their feet and dancing. Invitations can be picked up @ the Replay flagship store.

Burberry Travel Tailoring





Burberry has been synonymous with innovation since Thomas Burberry invented gabardine - The lightweight, breathable and weatherproof material developed in 1879 for the iconic trench coat and still used today.  This invention revolutionised the way that rainwear was designed and soon became synonymous with the brand. So much so that in the early 1900s 'the Burberry' was registered as its trademark. This October, building on the foundations of innovation, craftsmanship and functional design, Burberry will be launching Travel Tailoring.  

Based on an effortless approach to gentleman's dressing Travel Tailoring is constructed to allow and encourage movement. The innovation behind Travel Tailoring lies in the internal structure and memory of the fabrics. The lightweight and comfortable fabric follows the movement of the body providing a slim, classic silhouette, while allowing for increased movement and flexibility. An innovative, motion canvas construction with fewer internal components creates a lightweight and non-restrictive suit that still maintains its structure.  Most notably the chest canvas and shoulders contain no wadding and fewer layers while traditionally used horsehair canvassing extends to the shoulder, anchoring the jackets' shape and creating a sharp silhouette. 




Travel Tailoring is also created with naturally flexible fabric. The suit is made from an innovative 100% wool cloth developed in Biella, in Italy, an area renowned for its heritage in luxury frabric. The yarn is a fine Merino wool that is particularly long and reduces creasing and lines. The yarn is woven in a 'spring-like' strcuture on an extra large loom setting producing a fabric with a unique and inbuilt stretch. The cloth has a similar elasticity as elastane but unlike elastane it does not slacken at areas of strain or crease such as the elbows or knees.

The fabric, structure and design all combine to create a suit that is comfortable, flexible while maintaining a strong sartorial structure, an essential for the modern man.

Travel Tailoring is available in signature Burberry Tailoring Slim Fit in the traditional navy, mid grey, mid grey melange and dark grey melange colour palette. With prices starting from £1,195 the suit can be made in a variety of patterns such as Herringbone and Prince of Wales check.
