A Proper Ways in Taking Care Of Your Dress Shirt

by admin

Buying your very own dress shirt is kind of responsibility,too. Why? because you need to take care of them as the usual pricing aren’t that reasonable due to the high-end demand of these kind of pieces. Thus, you should learn now on how to take care of your shirt hence it would last for some good years.

Are you the owner of a dress shirt? If you do, you want the quality of material and fit of the shirt to last. Without locking it away and bringing it out only once a year, how can you care for your dress shirt? From washing it at the right temperature to storing it without misshaping, read on as CT Shirts, retailers of Charles Tyrwhitt dress shirts give you their top tips:

Store it correctly

Since a dress shirt usually only comes out in special occasions, it’s likely that your dress shirt will spend more time in your wardrobe than on your back. So, how can you make sure it stays in top condition and will still look great when you put it on?

You want to try and avoid your shirt collar curling. Thankfully, there are some things that you can to do avoid it. First of all, it’s often humidity that causes a collar to curl; the moisture in the room causes the material to change shape. Try and keep your dress shirts cool and dry or invest in a room dehumidifier to try and reduce the risk of this happening.

Don’t leave your shirt sitting after the washer or dryer spin has finished. This can also lead to collar curling due to the damp. Once washed or dried, remove your favourite shirt from the dryer and let the collar settle. When your dress shirt is hanging up, a good tip is to keep the top button fastened — this helps the shirt keep its shape and reduce the curling risk. One great investment is a collar stiffener. These can be used to try and bend collars slightly in the opposite direction of the curl and prevent it from being too obvious.

Ahead of purchasing the shirt, make sure it’s a good fit. If your collar is a little too tight around your neck, they’re more likely to curl and create that look that you really don’t want.

Keep your shirt well-spaced when hanging them up. If they don’t have space between them, the shape of the shirt can become distorted meaning they will no longer be as fitted.

Want to keep your cufflinks gleaming? A handy trick is to keep them in an airproof bag as this prevents them from losing their shine so quick.

When you iron your shirt, it’s best to steam it whilst it’s still damp. Begin with the underside of your collar and iron from the outside to the centre — keep the outer corner nice and taut.

Wash carefully

You might have a few worries when you put your shirt in the wash. Is it going to come out discoloured? A different colour? Follow these tips for a worry-free-wash:

Examine your shirt for any obvious stains, spillages or any signs of yellowing around the cuff and collar before you put your dress shirt in the wash. These areas need some extra treatment if you want your shirt to come out sparkling clean. If you do spot a few of these marks, create a paste with mixing detergent and water and rub this in — leave it for two minutes and then put it in the wash.

Take out your collar stiffeners before washing your shirt. This is especially important for those with brass collar stiffeners, as they can stain the shirt and cause issues in your washing machine filter.

Did you know that even soft detergent can be harmful. This is why you should turn your shirt inside out before putting it in the washing machine. You’ll also want to unbutton the shirt and cuffs so that the buttons do not become loose during the wash. This can cause them to become damaged and not look as neat as they once did. Similarly, the hot temperatures of a washing machine can be harmful for a shirt and lead to crinkling and misshaping — try to keep the heat low to prevent damage.

Look at the label

Take a look at the label to see which materials are listed. If it’s 100% cotton for example, many cotton mills advise against tumble drying at all. Instead, remove your shirt from the machine whilst it is still damp and hang it out to dry. You’ll probably notice that many of the creases come out this way too.

Dealing with a non-iron shirt? With these shirts, tumble drying can actually help with the properties of the shirt rather than damage it.

Whatever the material, always be careful when ironing. Always iron shirts when they are still damp, perhaps take them off the line before they’re fully dry. Use a steam iron too if possible as this keeps the material moist. Avoid ironing over the buttons whenever possible, they can become damaged and crack under the heat of an iron.

Those are our top tips! Invest in a collar stiffener, make sure it’s stored the right way and follow our hints on washing and drying. Remember to always check the label for product specific advice!

Advice from the experts — what to look for when buying an expensive suit

by admin

Many occasions call for the purchase of a new suit. Perhaps you’ve been invited to a wedding, a christening or maybe you’re looking to sharpen up for the office. Either way, a suit should be viewed as a necessary investment. A cheap suit is almost guaranteed to need replacing in a couple of years, whereas well-designed tailoring can last you 20 plus!

So, what should you look out for when buying an expensive suit? And, of equal importance, how can other people tell that you’re wearing the best. CT shirts, experts in suit design, have created this guide to make your purchase the right one.

The materials

The materials that make the suit can be the determining factor as to whether your suit will last the test of time.

Look for suits that have been created with natural fibres, avoid those with labels that say it has been created with a wool-blend or man-made materials. Polyester, for example, should be avoided. It retains a lot of heat, is less breathable and creases easily. A suit with 100% wool is something that you should look out for — these suits are versatile and ooze comfort. For a lustre look, often silk or mohair (a silk-like material made from the hair of the Angora goat) is added and this gives a luxurious shine to any suit. For extra movement and comfort, a high-quality suit is often made with a small amount of Lycra and this improves its elasticity.

An indicator of the finery of the material is the number alongside the ‘Super’. The Super is a way of indicating that the wool is of high quality and the higher the number, the finer and lighter the cloth will be.

One thing that you might not consider is the material that your buttons are made from. Plastic buttons are prone to breakage and chipping — imagine if you brush against a wall or table, it will be the buttons that take the impact. Another high-quality material that is often used for making durable and long-lasting suit buttons is corozo nuts.

The design

The design of a suit determines how it fits your body and moulds to your shape over time, it is what makes the suit truly yours.

Often, it is down to personal preference what weave is preferred but some are considered higher end than others. The patterns are created in the suit by interweaving different coloured threads in different ways. The ‘twill’ weave is considered to be stylish — this has a diagonal line of raised fabric and a silk-looking finish. The ‘herringbone’ also gives a smart look— this is an intricate V weave that creates a smooth feel.

A canvassed suit jacket has been created so that it has layers of material that sit between the outer suit fabric and the inner lining. This tailoring technique helps the suit maintain structure and shape. What you should look out for is a ‘floating canvas’ — this is where the middle layer has been stitched to the fabric loosely so that the suit is able to mould to your body shape and move when you move.

The lining of the suit can be a giveaway as to how well it’s been made. Despite popular belief that an unlined suit is cheaper than a fully lined one, it actually takes more effort to create an unlined suit as the stitching and cut of the material is exposed. However, lined sleeves improve your ability to slide the jacket on and off.

The details

Even some shop assistants might not be aware of the tiniest details that can improve the quality of a suit. It can be the tailor’s own way of integrating quality into their work.

The lapels on a suit are the folds that sit either side of the opening across the chest. One detail that can indicate the quality of a suit is the lapel roll — this is the fall and curl of the lapel from the collar to the first button. If the suit is one of many rolled off a production line, it is likely that the lapel will be completely flat against the jacket and the roll will be almost non-existent. In a high-quality suit however, the lapel roll will look like it has been carefully curved — giving the jacket more texture and a better appearance.

The back vents on a suit can determine how easy it is for you to move around and feel comfortable in it. Choose suit jackets with twin back vents on the back of the jacket to improve its flexibility and range of movement.

Stalk loops on jackets are something to look out for too. This is a traditional tailoring feature which neatly keeps your flower stalk tucked away. Although it may not be a necessary feature for everyone, it shows attention to detail that’s likely to be an indicator of a good suit.

Examine the buttonholes. Cheaper suits can often have frayed buttonholes as they haven’t been stitched with delicacy. Small details like this are big giveaways as to how your suit has been made.

One of the the high-end brand named balenciaga had releases its new waist bags or others may calls it as cross-body bag for their coming fall collection 2018. Actually, this bag had recently available to the market to avail and if I am not mistaken though, it has a price of 704 USD for a single bag that is came to the color maroon-ish like on what you are seeing on the top photo.

To be honest, waist bags these days are too dope and a lot of fashion forward peeps are too pleased to have themselves some cross body bags to rock on. But I think, the pricing ranges of balenciaga for their latest cross bag is quite expensive though, but it’s understandable at all due to the brand name hey are selling. But try to compare it with Gucci which is kinda same in pricing and yet Gucci cross bags are made of premium and quality of leather which could brings a luxurious looks once you have it yourself around. Hence, if you are looking yourself one cross bag to kill, I really suggest you first to have look to the other brands as they might offer you something best that could fits in to the style you wanna be pull off with. But if you are after to this brand balenciaga, I must say that this cross bag they had was a great find as well as it has the brand name printed on it which could add up to the whole thing as you try to pull off some outfits you wanna kill it.

A Quick and Easy Guide to Designing Customized Bracelets for an Event

by admin

In the past years, many venues have replaced paper tickets with silicone wristbands as a physical proof that an attendee has paid the price of admission to an event. Making the switch to these bracelets is a convenient choice for many event organizers since these bracelets don’t get lost as easily as paper tickets do, plus they make security checks faster and much easier for both the event staff and the guests. However, for the wristbands to become effective tickets, they need to have a design that’s exclusive to the venue and event.

But how do you come up with a unique wristband design for your event? There are actually a lot of ways to do this. Wristband Creation, a manufacturer of low-cost wristbands and lanyards, offers a number of creative options that can help their clients come up with a stand-out event bracelet. The company can, for example, provide wristbands that are wider than the standard 0.5 to 0.75 inches silicone bracelets. Here are a few of the other aspects that can be customized during the design phase:

Material

Silicone, by far, is still one of the most common base materials for creating wristbands because of how durable and cost-effective it is. It also helps that silicone bracelets are easy on the eyes and easy to manipulate. However, there are options other than silicone. Vinyl, the same plastic material that’s used to make floorings and musical records, is one. It’s a bit more rigid compared to silicone, but it’s also very resistant to wear and tear. Cloth offers an alternative that’s more skin friendly, but it needs to be coated with a water-resistant solution for it to last. If you need something that only lasts for a day, you can use thermal paper as a wristband. While typically printed on demand, thermal paper wristbands are resistant to smudging as well as oil and water.

Custom Color

It’s easy to customize the color of silicone wristbands, and you should definitely take advantage of this quality while designing your own. Colors are often added before the silicone material is cast into the mold, but the manufacturing process also allows the addition of another layer of ink after molding. Silicone wristbands come in all colors. It’s easier to create wristbands with one solid color, but you can also opt to go with a multicolored bracelet, or choose different colors for the inner and outer layer of the band. Take note though, that you should also consider the color of the accompanying text and ensure that the colors of the bracelet and the text won’t clash.

Text Options

There are quite a few ways to customize the text in a wristband design. You can choose to have the text debossed or engraved via laser carving onto the surface of the band, which makes the design last longer, and then shade the text in a different color to add visual appeal. Embossing or printing the text on the surface of the wristband to give it texture is another option, as well as printing the letters on top of the embossed text using ink with a different color. You can also just print the text on the surface of the band for a simpler style. Finally, it’s an option to add a graphic at the center of the band that will serve as its centerpiece.

It’s important to consider these specifications at the earliest phase of the creation process. You’ll want to go over every detail of the design and pay special attention to graphics that you want to include in the final product. With enough time and proper coordination with the wristband manufacturer, you won’t have any trouble getting a final product that’s unique and visually appealing—something that truly represents the event you are organizing.
