BUSINESS SUITS GUIDE
Selecting the right business suit is a thoughtful process, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. To simplify the journey of commissioning your ideal work day attire, we’ve crafted this simple guide to ease you into your initial consultation.
FORM
There’s no single blueprint for the perfect business suit in today’s diverse workplace environments. At Kale Bespoke we pride ourselves on tailoring suits that meet the requirements for both your profession and personal style.
Typically we recommend your business suit jacket is one-button with a fitted waist and soft shoulder. Timeless yet contemporary, this style is versatile enough to take you from the most official of workplace settings to those all important after-work gatherings.
For added versatility and a more formal look, consider adding a waistcoat to create a bespoke three-piece suit. This option allows you to transition seamlessly from wearing the full three-pieces, perhaps at more formal occasions and in the colder months of the year, to a classic two-piece suit when the weather is warmer and the occasion more relaxed.
FUNCTION
Your bespoke business suit may not face the same rigours as industrial workwear, but it must still withstand the demands of your day-to-day schedule, making aesthetic and physical durability key.
Heavier fabrics offer superior longevity, retaining their shape and resisting wrinkles. These qualities make them ideal for frequent use. Trousers, being subject to the most wear and tear, are often the first part of a suit to show signs of age, especially for frequent travellers.
A smart way to extend the life of your suit is to commission an extra pair of trousers with your initial order. This small investment ensures your suit stays sharp and functional for years to come.
FABRIC
When selecting fabrics for your bespoke business suits, we advise selecting plain worsted weaves in solid darker colours or subtle patterns.
By combining the right style, durability, and fabric, your business suit will be an investment in both professionalism and personal expression.
At Kale Bespoke we will guide you through the entire process, ensuring your bespoke business suit meets every expectation.
BUSINESS SUITS AFTERCARE
Once you've invested in a bespoke garment, it's important to make sure it reaches its full potential. A bespoke piece is crafted to last a lifetime, but without proper care, its longevity can be compromised. Thankfully, by following a few simple steps, you can maintain the distinctive shape and appearance of your garments for years to come.

STORE
Be sure to allow enough space in your wardrobe for your bespoke garments; overcrowding can cause them to become crushed and creased. High-quality wooden hangers with rounded ends and a subtle forward curve are ideal for preserving the shape of your jackets. For trousers, choose a hanger with a textured crossbar to prevent slipping and ensure they hang properly.
ROTATE
One of the best ways to extend the life of your garments is to avoid wearing them too frequently. Ideally, allow your clothes time to rest and air out between wears. Rotating with other pieces will help maintain their durability and longevity.
BRUSH
We recommend brushing your garment after each wear. This helps redistribute the natural oils in the fibres, creating a protective layer that repels dust and stains. Regular brushing also removes any dirt, dust, or food particles that may have clung to the fabric. Whenever possible, use a high-quality brush with natural bristles, as they are gentler on the garment than synthetic bristles, causing less wear and tear.
DRY CLEAN
Limit dry cleaning to once a year, as frequent cleaning can strip the protective oils from the fabric, shortening its lifespan. If more regular cleaning is needed, request that an experienced dry cleaner sponge and press your garment by hand. This method is gentler and helps maintain the garment's shape without flattening it.
