The Laws of The Game | Volume: 5 | What is That, Velvet?

Most men have a familiarity with the common suit description of “Supers”, e.g., Super 100s, Super 120s, Super 150s, etc. (Note: “Super” is a certification only used in U.S.).
These designations are based upon the thread diameter, which is measured in “microns.”

The Laws of The Game | Volume: 4 | Dress For Who You Are

This was, of course, a dichotomy made out of simplicity, but there are numerous variations that I did not previously discuss, including, e.g., dark hair with dark skin. For further reading on the subject, I strongly suggest picking up a copy of Alan Flusser’s Dressing the Man if you don’t already own a copy. It’s a great coffee table book and reference guide.

Posted by Craig Schroeder on
While proper fit is difficult to define, it can be learned. Indeed, there are certain laws, if adhered to, that can lead to it. I have not included an exhaustive list of these rules, as they are numerous. Instead, I’ll focus on those rules that most men violate to their sartorial peril. This column is about advancing the cause of personal style and that all begins with knowing a few of the ubiquitous mistakes and correcting them.

The Laws of The Game | Volume: 1 | The Hand of God
Posted by Craig Schroeder on
Dressing well is also governed by laws. There are inummerable “rules” about what is the correct way to wear garments, matching of color, etc. And, like the hand of God, at times the conscious breaking of the rules becomes the stuff of legend. Take for instance the wide lapels on almost all of Tom Ford’s men’s suit jackets; they are large and out of proportion with the rest of the garment, and likely with its eventual wearer’s body. Yet, this breaking of the rule is Tom Ford’s celebrated and lucrative “style.” So much for adhering to rules.
