Our Custom Winter Coat Collection is Here! Meet the Style Consultants Behind It, Ellen & Alex

Baby, it's snowing outside and Mother Nature has stopped gifting and confusing us with random warm days. Winter is here with snow and holiday cheer! Bundle up with layers and winter outerwear without looking like a giant marshmallow.

Our Men's Outerwear Collection will keep you looking like a sophisticated adult while keeping you warm, and as always, is entirely custom-made to your personality. 



The collection was put together by two of our style consultants, Ellen and Alex. They each played a large role in deciding the customized details, what parts of the coats can be customized and putting together the beautiful samples you see in our studio. With three different samples available for viewing pleasures and trying-on purposes, you can decide if you'd like a casual coat, an every day work coat or a formal coat for your black tie events.

Alex, Studio Manager & Style Consultant. 

Hailing from New Hampshire, Alex travels down to the city of Boston on a weekly basis for the love of 9tailors - and her clients ;) You know who you are. Her affair with the company started three years ago after graduating from Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a Fashion Degree, so you know you're in good hands. 

She continues her passion in her free time and for 9tailors. As studio manager, Alex ensures all of the orders goes smoothly and in a timely fashion, she keeps the wheels well oiled. She chose the fabric and designs for each of the sample coats in our studio. Alex picked all of the fabrics for the samples with the brown coat as her favorite. She loves the casual color mixed with the traditional tailored look and length giving it a perfect balance for every day wear.

Ellen, Style Consultant. 

Ellen one of the fresher faces in the studio but you wouldn't know it working with her. She's a fast learner and keeps on her toes, ready to guide you through your fittings and appointments. She's always ready to go as a true jet setter at heart, Ellen enjoys running out of the country at least once a year to satisfy her quench. 

Ellen played a large role in designing the details for our winter coat collection. Keeping in mind traditional styles, she opted for long lasting details to match up with our lasting quality. These coats aren't going to go out of style and will be personalized to you from fabric choice, contrasting details to length and fit; no two will ever be alike, much like our suits. 

Ellen's favorite pick is the paid peacoat. The plaid pattern catches her heart as a playfulness that matches with her personality. The military details keep the coat contemporary and less conservative with the contrasting color, pairing especially well with the bow tie. Although bow ties are more traditional, they are now seen as contemporary. Neck ties have been in mainstream work and play wear for the past few decades making them the "norm". It takes a special kind of man and skill to not only pull of a bow tie but also know how to tie a bow tie, especially when the bow tie has pigs on it. 


Want to be "that certain kind of special man" who knows how to tie a bow tie? 
Join us at our Style Workshop with oOoTie, the makers of that snazzy pig bow tie

*2 attendees will win a FREE Bow Tie of their choosing
*$25 off your next shirt order with purchase of a bow tie

Optician, Christopher Rahe chimes in with fashion and health advice for your eyes: 

Why is it so important to get your eyes checked? 

The eye is arguable your most important organ - a yearly comprehensive eye exam is about much more than determining whether or not you need a visual correction. In addition to regulating or treating eye maladies and diseases - other health issues can be seen by tracking gradual changes in the eye. This is especially true for people who have a history of diabetes, for example. 

Why should you wear sunglasses in the Winter?

Due to the low-lying sun and the presence of snow and ice, glare is worse in the Winter than in the Summer. A polarized sun-glass - which can be made in your prescription - is the perfect solution for the glare.  

What are the current trends for eyeglasses and sunglasses? 

Glasses are becoming more colorful than before. Gone are the standard blacks and tortoises - now you will be seeing more purples, greens and bright reds. People are also appreciating the craftsmanship and innovation in their glasses. They are caring less about the name emblazoned across the temple.

Is there a good rule of thumb for matching up frames with face shapes? 

There is no hard-and-fast rule as to what will good on you. Size of frame and a good fit are much more important than shape. One hint I like to give is that glasses look best when the lines of the frame parallel and complement the brow line and jawline. The best way to determine if a pair of glasses is a good fit for you is to come on down and actually put it on your noggin. 

What is new and exciting with EYESPOT? 

We introduced a new line to EYESPOT called Legre Iota. These glasses are designed by opticians - so we know that they can hold many different kinds of prescriptions with ease. They are made from materials that were originally designed for the aeronautic industry - their high-grade polymer is lightweight, heat-resistant, anti-bacterial and FDA approved for use in medical devices. And they look super cool. Are they everybody's idea of fashionable? Probably not. But they will look and feel great on you! They don't have to be a high-fashion name slapped onto the side nor do they have a high-fashion price tag. 

Any fashion tips you can offer for eyeglasses and sunglasses?

You should have just as many pairs of spectacles and sun-wear as you do expensive handbags and shoes.

Great Gifts for Him

I always have trouble buying gifts for the guys in my life, from brothers to fathers to really, good guy friends. It can be very daunting! So, we've created a 9tailors gift giving guide.

Want a gift for under $100? 

This is great for your brother, who's a college senior and needs a better fitting shirt for job interviews and recruiting events. It's time to steer him away from "vintage" graphic tees and help him get one step closer to landing that first job. Not only that, many of our fabrics under $100 are wrinkle resistant. Just another fantastic reason, this shirt would be perfect for your easy-going, younger brother.

One of our favorites. Seafoam green herringbone with his initials for $89.00. 

Seafoam not your favorite? Try a red striped shirt with a special button, also $89.00. 
Want a great gift for under $175?

For your dad or special someone, you might consider a gift that is under $175.00. For the fellow with discerning taste, drape him soft, luxury cottons many in Egyptian or Italian blends. For the creative guy, allow him to personalize it with contrast fabrics, special buttons. Either way, he'll stand out in a good way.

Winter white. White piqued fabric with a rounded, spread collar for $135.00

A fantastic duo: pink and navy. Pink chambray, contrast navy gingham and matching buttons for  $155. 
Cool Blues. Navy gingham, orange and blue contrast with navy buttons for $155
