New Functionality We have now launched the added ability to do fabric searches using additional criteria such as fabric weights, fabric compositions, fabric patterns and climate for wear. One can also view these fabric characteristics in the fabric lists after style selections. This functionality was much in demand and we found it a nice feature to offer for those not too familiar with the different materials and what is ideal for their sartorial requirements. We hope this added functionality will help make better choices in the type of cloth one would like for ones custom clothing. Over the next few days you will notice all the fabrics displaying their very unique characteristics addressing your needs even better. Soon we will also be adding a rating system for the materials that will show what the most popular fabrics are and how clients who ordered garments in those materials found them to be. This will be a direct feedback on materials that can be so useful in making choices of which fabrics to choose for your custom garments.

Our Favorite Testimonial this month By Larry K...........Burr Ridge, Illinois, USA. He has made us proud of what we do. Here is what he says
Your service has been amazing! I needed a summer suit for a trip to St Thomas Island, but there is nothing like that here in Chicago as the stores have gone into their winter inventory already. So turned to you in desperation, but my friends all thought it was going to be a disaster, ordering suit by mail from someone in another country. It will not come, it will not fit, it will not have any buttons, and the zipper will be in the back they all said. But I kept getting e-mails from you, telling of your progress in making the suit. They made me feel pretty special-- maybe I would get the suit in time, but would it fit? I did not fill out all those measurements on the order form, and just ordered by size. Would you send me something to fit an Asian gentleman? Would the lapels look like the wings of an eagle? Would I look like a German trying to play Charlie Chan? Today I got your e-mail saying it was shipped. I am not kidding you when I say that the United Parcel truck pulled up 10 minutes later and delivered the suit. It looks great. The fit is perfect. I just do not know how you got everything right, even to the length on the pants. Thanks for your great service and professionalism and skill. I will give your card to my friends
- Thank you Mr. K we are humbled by your comments and We Promise to do even better!.

Man, His Clothes, Attire And His Watch !.
Few things say more about a man than his watch. Its character, look and style can give others a peek into a man´s background (and priorities) without having to ask a single question. That is why purchasing a watch is such a personal -- and important -- decision.
Of course, there are men out there who only need a watch to tell time, and for those guys a watch whose price ends with .99 would suffice. But for the rest of us, a watch has...

Custom Clothes Make The Man - Part 1 - Suits, Sports Jackets, Pants, Trousers, And Topcoats.
Up until the late eighteenth century, it was often the man who dressed more flamboyantly than the woman, his wardrobe filled with laces and bows as well as high-heeled shoes with shiny buckles. Even our presidents were not immune, as a sartorially splendid George Washington appeared at his first Inaugural wearing a brocade jacket, lace shirt, silver appointments, and high-heeled shoes with diamond buckles.
However, as the c...
