The Custom Tailored Three Button Black Suit

Lets start with the basics, every man should have that go to black three button suit. This is the ultimate classic. A custom bespoken suit can go a long way, it is perhaps the most versatile piece of clothing in the closet. It can be worn to a wedding, a job interview, and even to a cocktail party. Piece with any color button down shirt and you are good to go. Piece it with almost any tie (depending on the shirt), you are good to go. Not much thought needed with this classic suit.

The Custom Tailored Shirt

There are two ways to go with mens custom tailored dress shirts, you can go with the classic and with what’s in style. The classic bespoken white shirt never goes out of style. The combination of a classic white shirt and your three button black suit along with almost any tie and you are ready for any event. You wont feel under dressed or overdressed with this look. A few years back the blue shirt was a must have into many men’s closet arsenal. However, we feel that the blue shirt has been overplayed. Be adventurous add a few stripes and a few checks or plaids into your closet arsenal. With a classic three button suit, a couple of custom made dress shirts, and about four to five custom tailored patterned dress shirts like a check or a plaid and you will be set. This will take you into the work week, the weekend, as well as the next week, a nice rotation.

The Tie

Choosing the tie is all about matching the tie colors with your made to measure shirt. If you want simple and easy, any tie will do with the traditional white dress shirt. Other types of ties to consider are solid color ties, a couple of striped ties, and perhaps a few funky ties. Not too funky, you want quality not a conversation piece. You want a nice designer tie that stands out not a tie with your favorite football team logo on it.

Putting it all together

RH Custom Shop is a made to order shop. We provide have over thousands of samples to choose from to stock your closet arsenal. If you are just starting out start with three suits, the classic black suit, the dark navy blue suit, and the charcoal gray suit. Combine these with about six to nine custom fit shirts, three of which are white shirts, and about four to five designer ties.

Different Kinds of Military Body Armor by Jerome Wild

Monday, October 12th, 2009

The kind of protective military bullet proof vests that are worn by soldiers and law enforcement officers commonly, are now also being purchased for use by ordinary citizens. Contrary to what you might think, this is not some kind of “just for fun” fad. People everywhere are looking to military body armor to keep them safe in an unpredictable world.

You can get military body armor in a selection of colors, but the shapes are all basically the same, from brand to brand. Although they all look similar, these vests all come with a specific purpose, and it’s not always the same. You can get flotation vests, impact resistant, stab resistant, and even ballistic vests.

These last two can come as a combined property, or you can find either configured with one of the first two configurations according to needs. This body armor comes graded according to effectiveness. The lowest is I and the highest is IV. At least a II is recommended for military purposes, but a III or a IIIa is better.
