Why a jacket from NEW TAILOR?

For 25+ years 'NEW'

Jackets are becoming increasingly important in the stylish man's wardrobe. Choosing the right model and the right fabric is very decisive for when to use it. NEW TAILOR is going to help you with that. We start with an inventory of when and how you want to wear it. Obviously the season is decisive but especially the degree of formality or in normal words how neat it should or should not look.

De constructie en het type jasje zijn wellicht de eerste vragen. Een jasje dat afgeleid is van het jasje voor een pak is het meest formeel. Zeker als deze schoudervulling heeft en klepzakken. Met meer zakken (opgezette en zelfs zakken met inverted pleats) wordt het jasje en dus jouw outfit minder formeel. Als we een jasje mogen maken zonder binnenwerk dan wordt het gevoelsmatig veel casueler. Een jasje zonder binnenwerk moet de constructie krijgen van de stof zelf. Het meesterstuk  maken we graag in huis. Het is een sportiever en nog soepeler  door minder structuur en als je wilt een andere type kraag. Zie hier enkele dingen waar je over na kan denken.

Als de make en het model in grote lijnen bepaald zijn, kunnen we kijken naar de stof. Van glad tot grof en van cashmere tot linnen. Deze keuze bepaalt uiteraard het gebruiksmoment net zo veel als het model. Beide keuzes kunnen ook niet los gezien worden omdat ze elkaar beïnvloeden. Laten we inzoomen op de stof.

infinite options

Smooth wool in a jacket produces a neat jacket like you can wear at receptions and to a restaurant. Often you wear such a jacket with equally neat pants such as gray plain wool pants or possibly chinos in beige or dark blue.

A coarser wool like flannel or tweed is already a bit tougher and is probably easier to wear in your spare time on jeans or chinos. With flannel pants, you can make such a jacket and thus your outfit a bit neater again. A chunky herringbone, a twill or a chunky birdseye are options in flannel. With tweed, you can think of a birdseye, herringbone or a pronounced plaid. Adding cashmere to wool makes the jacket even richer and cuddlier. Literally and figuratively.

An open woven fabric such as a basket weave, Mock Leno or a dry coarse Fresco will fit well into your wardrobe if you want to wear the jacket of the suit separately as well. You can then wear the jacket outside as well as inside. Buttons and other details help determine the look.

For 20+ years 'NEW'

Jackets are becoming increasingly important in the stylish man's wardrobe. Choosing the right model and the right fabric is very decisive for when to use it. NEW TAILOR is going to help you with that. We start with an inventory of when and how you want to wear it. Obviously the season is decisive but especially the degree of formality or in normal words how neat it should or should not look.

The construction and type of jacket may be the first questions. A jacket derived from the jacket for a suit is the most formal. Especially if it has shoulder pads and flap pockets. With more pockets (patch pockets and even pockets with inverted pleats), the jacket and therefore your outfit becomes less formal. If we may make a jacket without inner work then it becomes much more casual instinctively. A jacket without inner work must be given the construction of the fabric itself. A masterpiece we like to make in house and we call The Lounge Jacket. A sportier and even more casual jacket. Once the make and model i broadly determined, we can look at the fabric. From smooth to chunky and from cashmere to linen. This choice obviously determines the time of use as much as the model. Nor can both choices be seen in isolation because they influence each other. Let's zoom in on the fabric.

Groen Seashell jasje van Harrisons

Green all-rounder

Of course, we also have lots of green fabrics for jackets (and suits). In this open-weave version of Harissons, it can be worn all year round.

DE Blazer

A blue jacket is a must have for every man. In fact, you can wear it anytime. A cotton version of a thicker canvas is just a little rawer than, say, a hopsack.

Smart Casual Jacket

summer jackets

For summer jackets, you can think about lighter colors but also combinations of wool with linen or silk, for example. If you then also make the construction super-light, you will sway through the summer.

Cotton, linen, tweed

Of course, cotton for a jacket is also an option. Thin in summer, a thicker twill or even Moleskin or Corduroy in fall and winter. You can make a cotton jacket very well unstructured and by being washed it ages beautifully. One type of cotton we leave underexposed then and that is the seersucker. A lighter fabric than that in wear is hardly imaginable. The ultimate casual summer jacket.

Perhaps the most casual is a jacket in linen because the fabric wrinkles a bit more and it is very light. So you barely feel it. Unlike wool where the heavier the rougher and less formal the opposite is true with linen. There the thicker the more formal. Irish linen is more formal than the flabbier Italian linen. Combinations with silk make linen more formal and a tad shinier. Combinations with wool reduce creasing and increase durability. One drawback: combining materials during spinning makes a fabric more expensive and thus ultimately the jacket.

Now that we have helped you a bit in the materials and weight, the next question about your desired color is a logical one. Blue is the most commonly chosen color because it can be worn for business, looks good on many men and combines easily. Gray is also being chosen more often as a jacket lately. If you build your wardrobe around the colors blue (from mid to dark blue), brown, beige (from camel to sand) and gray you can easily combine all items with white and light blue shirts. You will then look stylish very quickly. Fashion colors like green (although this color is already almost a basic color), ochre, bordeaux, brique and purple should match your skin tone and your style, but when they do they brighten up any wardrobe.

Choose the right material

Plain fabrics are the easiest to combine. Fine stripes in jackehave a bit of a comeback lately. The boating stripe is so pronounced that few can get away with it, which is precisely why it is so fun. Plaids of all kinds from the more classic pied de poule to the prince of wales, an overshirt, a tartan or a sportier BB check to the madras check are all to be considered. The more pronounced, the less often you will wear it.

An open woven fabric such as a basket weave, Mock Leno or a dry coarse Fresco will fit well into your wardrobe if you want to wear the jacket of the suit separately as well. You can then wear the jacket outside as well as inside. Buttons and other details help determine the look.

Our advice: start with a basic blue jacket in a basketweave or even cotton. Expand your wardrobe with a brown jacket in a twill or herringbone for fall and winter, choose a green one for the mid-season and a linen one for summer. You can also have a tweed -cotton- or linen suit made. Have the jacket made in terms of details so that you can also wear the jacket separately.

Of course, we're going to help you in our stores with all the choices. We do this by listening first and then funneling so we don't have to show you all the fabric options. We also have several examples and lots of pictures in the stores. This way we are sure to come up with a good choice to complement your wardrobe. One of those jackets you always want and can wear.

Urban

Onze Urbans zijn een andere vorm van een jasje op maat. Dit type jasje heeft geen voering en geen tussenpand waardoor het anders voelt en oogt. Minder jasje. Meer een extra laag om je entree te maken of relaxt mee uit te gaan. Stijlvol maar iets vlotter wellicht dan een jasje met klepzakken. Als je dit model aan je garderobe toevoegt heb je nog meer keuze. Je draagt het immers als een soort vest. De type zakken bepalen het beeld. Door opgezette zakken met klep zoals bovenstaand bij Bas wordt het al haast een soort buitenjas.

Smart Casual van NEW TAILOR

Smart Casual Wear

You want to look groomed every day, and feel comfortable in your clothes. The need for beautiful luxury clothing with more comfort, a sportier look and the need for sustainability, have resulted in the further development of our smart casual range. You can basically wear it anytime and anywhere. Besides Casual Wear jackets, we are of course also happy to make your chinos, pullovers and casual shirts. Made-to-measure, of course.

Business Wear by NEW TAILOR

Business Wear

The assurance of a good first impression can be found in our Business Wear line. Of course, in addition to suits, we as tailors also make combinations of jackets and a chino that you can and want to wear in a business environment. Just a little more formal and dressier than Easy Wear.

By a little more structure and inner work and just more formal fabrics. With a little more shine, for example, you make an impression and the content becomes more important. So it's clothing you don't have to worry about.

Wedding Wear by NEW TAILOR

Wedding Wear

We have extensive experience in creating clothing for a wedding and other formal occasions. From a tuxedo for formal dinners or a jacquet to the ultimate linen wedding outfit for the beach. Of course, a wedding suit involves a little more than just picking out a business suit, which is why we like to take the time to inspire and help you with the many choices. We have several examples in the stores and also our wedding magazine will help you in making the right choice.

Afgelopen zaterdag liepen wij al in een linnen pak -;). Wat een heerlijke zonnige dag. Wij laten geen dag voorbij gaan om een linnen pak te dragen. En wij moeten inspireren immers. Deze week was het weer kouder en kozen we voor een Fresco pak; stoerder, kreukarm en passend bij het weer. Net iets ruiger ook. Versatile zoals je wilt. Je kan een open geweven
