This selection covers 39 homes and brands that have been carefully selected over several months, with the valuable input of several employees from the international sartorial scene, a method that is the first in the history of our choice. This edition will be the beginning of many future joint works. It is indeed our hope to continue reuniting through extensive projects such as this one, many different and respected names in this field from established authors and excellent journalists to dedicated bloggers, to create a truly independent and in-depth choice of curator with care and passion and up to date with the latest developments in the ever-changing world of male style. For the 2014 edition of our selection of RTW costumes, Sonia, Greg and I had the privilege of working with five very fine contributors; three French, one finish and one American. First, let's give an honor where the honor is due : G. Bruce Boyer is one of the most respected and erudite writers in the field of masculine style and made us great pleasure delivering reviews of two American homes. Ville Raivio, from the excellent blog Finish KEIKARI, was also a kind enough friend to send us a review to another American house. At the heart of this project, we have two passionate French bloggers: Dirnelli and Paul F, who sent us reviews about no less than 20 houses ! Dirnelli is an established name in the small world of I-Gents. His tumblr DIRNELLI has gradually become a very reliable resource for all and all gentlemen looking for sartorial inspiration. With first-hand knowledge of the long-winded investment in time required to maintain such a consistent activity, I can only applaud the diligence of Dirnelli, which has earned him a significant and passionate readership. Paul F. is a more relaxed supporter of the new sartorial selfie wave. Although his approach is less rigid than that of Dinelli, he is no less serious and knowledgeable. His Tumblr PAUL-LUX is a haven of good taste and elegance, animated by a truly passionate man at the head of a lovingly acquired collection of all things sartorial. The ensembles he represents are often gorgeous, denoting a very sharp sartorial eye. Finally, to give a voice to the younger generation on the very important theme of RTW costumes, we once again opened our columns for our young friends BONNE GUEULE, who kindly reviewed the young and up and French home for us. Prices mentioned in this this are an estimated average, as such prices can vary (sometimes impressively so) between different lines, collections and selected fabrics. In this case, valuations should be a reliable indicator that will help you find your way through this list, which we intended to make a representative of today's market. Without further ceremony, presented in the upstream price order, is the Parisian Gentleman's Choice ready-to-wear costumes for 2014 ! TM LEWIN Still matching the entry-level offer of 200 to 400 th tmlewinshirts.eu By Hugo Jacomet : the costumes offered by English shirt manufacturers, with TM Levin being well in the lead, has always been a fantastic entry-level option in the world of classic male style, especially for the younger generation and for those on a tight budget. Costume lines are indeed very affordable, often reduced to 200 euros during sales, which are almost permanent with new discounts each week. TM Levin's costumes are all made far from Jermyn Street (TM Levin is owned by The Prominent Group, which operates large factories in Asia and India), and almost all are fused - although some models with floating-breasted pieces are available. However, with an average price of 250 euros for a full suit, TM Lewin stays with his main competitor Charles Tyrwhitt - an excellent first serious step in the world of classic men's style. The incisions are classic, the choice of fabric and quality is decent at best, as are a few touches. But at this price you will surely get what you paid for. The question: Decent costumes at a low price, a lot of variety in terms of cuts and fabrics, good customer service. - - : You can visit one of the stores (in the UK) to try on the costume first hand and check your size, even if the online store and return policy is very reliable. SUITSUPPLY Sartorial Revolution 300 to 800 - suitsupply.com Hugo Jacomet : While some may not want to admit it, Suitsupply is a crushing entrepreneurial success and one of the main drivers behind today's small sartorial revolution. By making men's style accessible to almost everyone with fair price offers complete with undeniable flair in their collections and their talent for creating vibrant advertising campaigns, Suitsupply has become a benchmark brand in the crowded sector of affordable male style (with Boggy Milano not too far behind). Suitsupply was created in 2001 in Amsterdam by the young Focke de Jong, who built his strategy on a simple and bold game of installing its first stores in unusual locations, including being on the highway and then located a considerable distance from the main commercial arteries. The idea was to make Suitsupply a destination, not just another store located in the lineup This is a very atypical way of doing business, which very successful as stores located on unusual locations entails much lower rents and maintenance costs, saving money to be focused on creating a vertical approach to the production line (which allows Suitsupply to be in complete control of its products, from buying raw materials depending on sales). This approach allowed the young company to put pressure on the male-style market to a tipping point, offering a huge selection of aggressively priced suits on the ratio of quality/price, unheard of at the time. By following up with a few hard-hitting advertising campaigns on the internet (accompanied with a series of photography that I personally love, such as Trust suit or Start Smoking campaigns), the Dutch brand would enjoy a dazzling moment with a opening of no less than 50 stores, including 10 in the US and a flagship store on Madison Avenue. With a wide range of costumes sold at a very fair price, including a lot of attention, putting in styling collections that are cut from good quality fabrics, Suitsupply is an excellent first step (perhaps the best in its price range) to the world of personal elegance, regardless of your age or your financial means. The question is : Lots of style to choose from, good quality construction at a price. - : Slightly (too) short trousers ... house is a trademark, it would seem. Paul F : My first impression was after spending 10 minutes at the Suitsupply store in Brussels was not very good. Disappointment even. I just couldn't find a suit that would suit me. Admittedly, I rarely take help from sellers, probably because I've seen too many incompetent, obsessed with sales figures and without any sense of style. Looking into more detail, I finally found something: a model called HAVANA. No, I don't smoke cigars, but this model seemed to be the only cut that suited me well. It features natural shoulders, a two-wheeled jacket and flat front trousers. I first noticed the SOHO cut, but since I missed swimming classes when I was younger, it's a deal breaker with such a close cut. You have to learn to navigate in the Suitsupply store, if only for the sheer number of cuts on display. Wrong time and try on a few models. The Amsterdam-based company has now expanded to a wide range and its business model is working very well. Suitsupply sources its fabrics in Italy and then sends fabric stocks to China, where the costumes are built. They are then sold either in one of the brand's 50 physical stores or through a great online store (which has the best return policy I've ever seen, since you can return items for free with UPS picking up products right at your door!). The proposed fabrics range from basic to more fashionable. Such it's very likely that many gentleman will find something that Their. Suitsupply is the perfect way to start a quality wardrobe. Don't blame the brand for its bold advertising, but instead focus on products. There is a true potential here with an honorable quality design. BOGGI Perfect Budget to buy 300 to 850 th boggi.it by Dirnelli : This RTW brand is very impressive because of the wide range and elegant style of its collection, all positioned at very reasonable prices. If I were to recommend only one entry-level brand of penurious sartorialists around the world, Boggy would have it. In this price range its main competitor is Suitsupply, but Boggi has the advantage of being Made in Italy. Almost everything in boggi's plentiful range of products is something you would like to wear if you are a fan of the current Italian style. Part of Boggy's secret lies in the use of many different vendors - such as Lardini, Lubiam, Flannnel Bay, Isaia, Tagliatore and even Caruso - so there is always something to everyone's taste in each collection.
