Bespoke

A well made suit won’t make the man, but it damn sure does make the man feel like the best version of himself. This is a bespoke suit that I picked up while on my travels to Bangkok last month. Embassy Suit Gallery was highly recommended on TripAdvisor and by the So Sofitel Hotel staff where Ann and I stayed, so that was one of our first stops when we  arrived. They did not disappoint. They picked us up from the hotel, treated us like family, and made a hell of a suit for me. I left a completely satisfied customer.

One of my favorite things about this suit is the side button tabs option instead of belt loops, which gives the entire suit a seamless look. Lately, I’ve really been into pointed collar dress shirts that have the button down option; a change of pace from the trending cutaway collar. I’ve also been wearing more textured neckties because I like how they effortlessly elevate an entire look. Just beware that when you wear a textured  necktie people have a tendency to unexpectedly reach out and touch it. There’s something about interesting texture that’s apparently irresistible. I finished the look off with a pair of festive socks. I think I’m officially in that holiday state of mind!

Cheers,

Curtis Bright
