How to Care for Your 9tailors Items

While we are constantly stressing the importance of a good fitting pair of slacks and tailored shirts, once you have these flattering garments in your possession it is your duty to keep them looking sharp.

A common misconception about shirts is that dry cleaning is the best route for maintaining cleanliness and shape of your clothing. False!

The chemicals used during the dry cleaning process are very harsh on the finely woven fibers of your shirts. Regular dry cleaning will actually break down the integrity of your shirts sooner than good old fashioned laundering. Most dry-cleaners will offer laundering services and it would behoove you to opt out of chemicals in favor of a gentler cleaning agent. Not to mention the savings of the switch.

Now, if you care for your shirts at home just wash and hang dry. Avoid the dryer if possible.

As for suits, these are much more sensitive. While it would be best to avoid cleaning them at all, that may lead to a long lonely life as you stench may ward off potential companions. Just to refresh your memory never, and I mean never, put a suit in a washing machine. Unless of course you have this suit in which case feel free to shower with it on.

Dry cleaning a few times a year would be the best action to take with your suits. As dry cleaning is very harsh on your clothing it is in your interest to avoid dry cleaning but spot cleaning and brushing are highly recommended. Follow up with a professional steam pressing to get a crisp look.

Make sure to hang your suits after each wear by following the crease in each pant and draping them over a hanger. Hangers are also important because the wrong types, such as wire hangers, can permanently warp your clothing. By keeping your suits properly stored they will have a chance to air out before you wear them again.

If you are looking for suits or shirts to care for feel free to email us at info@9tailors.com to get a style consultant of your very own who can help you design a new look.

Try This: Beyond Bold

The beauty of custom is having the ability to create nearly anything you can think of. If your creativity knows no bounds, neither will your suit. One of our clients had the notion to create a suit so bold it could, literally, blind people with its outlandish appearance. This is not for the faint of heart. It takes a special type of person to pull off a suit of this caliber. Its shiny exterior coupled with a lavender lined interior creates a one of a kind suit.





Please, gentlemen, get yourself a pocket square. Matching is fine if you prefer the continuity of a single color.


It comes down to the tiniest details with this one. Rather than the standard four sleeve buttons he opted for the high end, sophisticated look pushed by Gucci. Five sleeve buttons with the last left undone proudly announces another level of luxury.

The welted edge and lining reinforce the uninhibited nature of this beast. Let a style consultant at 9tailors know if you have an idea so preposterous it must be specially made for you.

But remember, one thing that is crucial when creating a suit like this is fit. A tailored fit will prevent the suit from looking more like a joke than something pushing the envelope.

Not to scare the rest of the suits away, we still churn out a navy suit now and then. Let us know what you're after at info@9tailors.com

Deciphering the Dress Code

Ranging from formal to casual, wedding attire can be puzzling. Much of the time the only hint guests are given is a tiny phrase at the bottom of the invitation that indicates the dress code. Formal, semi-formal, smart casual, casual, and any other combination of these phrases may be the only guideline given. Clearly, without a firm grip on the definition of these terms they do you no good. So, here is a guide on how to decipher the invitations dress code descriptors.

Black Tie: The fanciest of the bunch, nothing less than a tuxedo here. Tradition says no tuxedos before 5pm but as traditions evolve a tux during the day should be fine given the dress code is formal.

Black Tie Optional: This is a slightly more casual form of black tie. A tuxedo should be worn if you have it, but those gentlemen without one in their closet should wear a nice dark suit with a clean crisp shirt and a conservative tie.

Semi-formal: This is probably where most weddings will fall. A suit and tie should be worn. No tuxedos necessary. Choose the color of your suit by the time of day and location. A beach wedding would call for lighter colors and lighter fabrics. A church wedding in the evening would call for wools and slightly darker colors.

Smart Casual: The wedding equivalent of business casual. It is on the more casual end of the spectrum, a nice button down and slacks should be worn. Please leave the jeans, no matter how nice and new at home. A blazer or sport coat also work and ties are optional.

Although rare, casual may be the order of the day for the wedding in question. We are all familiar with this type of dress. Most closely resembling your everyday wear although it is fairly rare for a wedding dress code. Jeans are technically acceptable as are shorts but to avoid being under dressed opt for a button down and some cotton slacks such as khakis or chinos.

How To: Wedding attire

Yesterday, the suiting options for various weddings were laidout. Now lets talk about how to put it all together. The accessories are just as important, you never want to outdo the wedding party. But, you don't want to be the slob in a wrinkled dress shirt either.

Shoes and Belts: Both should probably be black and shiny if it is a formal event. For those ceremonies that take place in the woods or on the beach earth toes are appropriate. Try to stick to one color scheme. Brown is suitable for daytime weddings.

Cufflinks: If you are wearing a dress shirt with a French cuff make sure you dont go too wild with the cufflinks. We love that you love Pokemon, just don't wear it on your sleeve.

Pearl cufflinks are great for daytime weddings, silver or gold for evening events.

The Don'ts

Jeans are not acceptable, ever.

Do not be more formal than the wedding party.

Because weddings are full of dancing, eating, laughing, and all around partying, make sure your clothes are not only clean and pressed but fit well and will be comfortable all night. Or else you could end up like this guy when you finally execute that killer dance move you have been practicing all night.

Avoid all this with a custom suit from 9tailors. Made to fit you perfectly, no pant splitting due to ill fitting clothing! Make an appointment here.
