The Story of My Suit

I have never thought of writing something about clothes, to be honest. After all, clothes are simple for a man, especially for a man like me. In my view, clothes have three kinds according to their dress occasion: formal, business casual and casual. Normally I dress formal from Monday to Thursday, business casual on Friday, and the rest time are occupied by casual clothes. Among these clothes, if I have to make a choice, I would like to choose my suits. There are two main reasons. 

First, the suit can represent a man’s taste, style and attitude. I may not be a fashion man, I always like to choose navy blue cloth and two-button, single breasted jacket suit; and it lets me feel comfortable and safety. In fact, I value the suit for a working/life attitude behind of it; that is rigorous and conscientious. Therefore, if I have an important meeting or thing need to do, even if it’s Friday, I will also dress my suit. It indicates that I take it seriously; moreover, it can remind me and help me keep good working state.

Second, I like my suit because the clothier which I bought it and the three old tailors. It is said that the clothier had more than 90 year’s history. It is middle-sized but reflects its professional in some details. Since the first bespoke suits I had, the time has passed more then ten years; I am so appreciated that they keep their style in the age of quickly changed and impetuousness. I have gone the clothier couple times, and I always find that the old tailors takes professional measurement while accesses customers’ posture, slowly but conscientiously. This feeling has touched my heart deeply... ...
