BookATailor NYC - Pleats

A pleat is a type of fold formed by doubling fabric back upon itself in order to secure it in place. Its use in regards to clothing is to gather a wide piece of fabric to a narrower circumference. In ancient Egypt rulers wore pleats in order to highlight their status level. They remained more or less a luxury until the invention of synthetic fabrics. As a result of this invention fashion designers benefited from this as well as producers of room textiles, because pleats do not take up their original shape again under the influence of warmth or humidity. Flat-front pants also regarded as having no pleats, have a feature called a dart that allows for the fabric to lie flat against the legs. The pleats or no pleats look is generally based on the body type. Slim men usually stick to the flat-front pants, while bigger men benefit from pleats because of the extra room.

BookATailor NYC - Shawl Lapel

There are three different types of lapels, the shawl lapel, the peak lapel, and the notch lapel. The shawl lapel was originally seen on the Victorian smoking jacket, but slowly became more commonly associated with the dinner jacket. The structure of the shawl lapel consists of a continuous curve that is usually a rounded collar paired with a V-neckline that extends over the chest and gets smaller as it makes its way down to the waist. In regards to modern clothing, the shawl lapel is seen on cardigan sweaters, jackets, blouses, and robes. It is seen more frequently due to its simplicity. Essentially it is easy to create and has fewer pattern pieces than a notch lapel, making it quicker to sew. The collar pairs nicely with a wide variety of neckline structures and is considered by many to be quiet flattering.

BookATailor NYC - Skinny Tie

When talking about the popular skinny tie, most people associate the look with the 1960s. The skinny tie was made popular through pop icons like the Beatles during the end of the 50s. Before the 50s ties usually measured 4.25 inches at the widest point, which is much wider than an average skinny tie. The classic vintage skinny tie from the late 50s measures between 2 and 2.5 inches in width. Eventually, the skinny tie came out of style during the end of the 60s and fashion designers slowly went with wider necktie cuts, however during the 80s they made a comeback. The materials used to make the skinny tie vary widely. Some designers had solid colored black skinny ties made from leather, while others carried ties that were knitted from cotton and even wool. Knitted skinny ties usually had a flat tip. Even today knitted version of the skinny tie are back in style although not for any formal or business attire. Check out BookATailor.com for vintage skinny ties and stylish custom suits.
