  • Shackles and Accessories Are ® Products and Services You Have Found an Green Pin ® Shackles and Accessories in Order to Serve
    Introduction P.O. Box 57, 3360 AB Sliedrecht Industrieweg 6, 3361 HJ Sliedrecht The Netherlands Tel. +31 184 41 33 00 Fax +31 184 41 49 59 E-mail [email protected] www.vanbeest.nl Dear customer, For over 85 years the production of high tensile shackles has been our core business and competence. Dirk van Beest founded the Van Beest company in 1922, initially as a supplier of iron works to the dredging industry, which was strongly developed in the Sliedrecht area. From the very beginning, the company has been forging shackles. Its ironwork expertise gave the Van Beest shackle an edge over the competition and this was the start of a network of professional users that now stretches across the globe. The designs and qua- lity standards of our shackles are the result of requirements put forward over the years by our customers in markets throughout the world. Our shackles are marked Green Pin®, and we are the sole proprietors of the trade name Green Pin®. Production At Van Beest we were faced with a labour-intensive production unit. Over the years Van Beest invested, with it’s own engineers, in development of a series production line of high quality output. The highly automated machines in the factory are custom built to Van Beest’s requirements and thus to those of our customers. The same technicians demand the quality of the products during production and therefore guarantee quality to our customers. Each individual Green Pin® shackle is marked with the steel grade and a traceability code. But quality is not only a matter of the product itself, it stretches across the entire organization.

  • How Do I Dress Professionally
    Career Development JKM Library, 3rd floor (412) 365-1209 Phone (412) 365-1660 Fax [email protected] Professiona l Dress Guidelines Proper professional dress is essential for interviews and career fairs. Even if you would not be required to wear a suit in the position to which you are applying, it is the expected attire for job interviews and career fairs. Be sure to try on your interview outfit prior to career-related events to ensure a proper fit. Here are several tips for women and men on how to dress professionally and make a positive first impression. What to Wear for Women: Suit Long-sleeved blazer with a straight or pleated skirt or pants. Color should be neutral, such as navy blue, gray, tan, or black. Most solid-colored suits will work as long as they are not too bright. Patterns are only acceptable if they are extremely subtle. Skirt should be knee length or longer. Avoid tight pants and baggy pants. Shirt/blouse Stay away from shiny or sparkly material. Cotton or matte silks are always a good choice. A nice touch is often a collar pin or a simple necklace. A colorful scarf that compliments your outfit is acceptable, but it should not be too bright. Shoes First - no bare legs! Stockings or panty hose, usually in a skin tone or a complimenting color, are a must. The best shoes are simple pumps with no more than a one or two-inch heel. Shoes should be black or a complimentary color that works with your suit. Jewelry and Perfume Simple post earrings or hoops work best.

  • Chapter Eight
    CHAPTER EIGHT 25 Suit Rules All Men Need to Know A man can’t be called a gentleman if he doesn’t know how to wear his suit I once got a job to make 2 suits for a new client. The guy in question had never owned a suit before, this was going to be his first. As always, I try to understand what kind of job my client needs then I tailor my pitch to their job while suggesting my ideas on the design as well as other details which I think would look nice on them – such as the fabric, the right color for the skin tone and other additional accessories that will complement the overall look. A couple of questions came to mind while I was considering the kind of the suit I’ll make for him. Things like…what would be the best colors to make for him - considering this was his first, would it be double vent or single vent, would it be single button or double button? Should I go for notch or peak lapel? And most importantly, what occasion does he need these suits for, is it for work, for a special event or for both? KOBI KOACHMAN ULTIMATE GUIDE TO MEN’S STYLE – 1st Edition 2016 – MRKOACHMAN.com After I decided what was suitable for my client, I thought it was important for him to know Suit Rules that would guide him when rocking his brand new bespoke suit once it arrives. I decided to share some basic suit rules all men need to know.
