When stepping into the world of bespoke, one must remember about self-discipline. It is very easy to go overboard with the first order, especially when starting to build a new wardrobe from scratch. I know that, for I almost have. As I delved deeper and deeper into the part of the Web dedicated to menswear, I stumbled upon hundreds and hundreds of inspiring pieces. Naturally, I saved each and every one of them to my drive, amassing a huge heap of images in the process.
Half a year later, the original heap is almost gone, its pieces replaced by other, more fresh images that caught my fancy. I know that over a half of them is going to be deleted in the next couple of months, that only a few select gems will survive. Such cullings saved me from many impulse purchases and orders, expenses that I would possibly regret very soon after receiving the finished garments. I have also learned how the designs labeled as 'timeless classics' turn out to be - just as the name implies - truly timeless.
And that 'classic' does not neccessarily have to imply 'understated' and even downright 'boring'.
Picture there three images in your mind, combined - with some luck, you might end up imagining what will become my fourth suit. As four, in my vocabulary, means 'adventure'.
