If you’re looking to unlock the true potential of your custom suit, it’s always a good idea to sport a handkerchief. However, you should be aware of the different handkerchief folding methods.
In this short video from AskMen.com, tailor Pellegrino Castronovo demonstrates a few ways to fold a pocket handkerchief. The pocket square is a good fold for casual affairs, while the formal offset is a better option for formal events. If you’re looking for something a little different, you might even try the classic “pouff.”
If you’re looking for a beautiful bespoke suit to go with your handkerchief, come by Mohan’s Custom Tailors, Inc. With over 14,000 fabrics to choose from, we have the materials necessary to create your ideal custom suit. If you have any questions, call us today at (888) 434-1657.

Many men think that they can look good just as long as they wear some kind of suit. However, there’s a distinct difference between wearing a suit and wearing the suit. Since there are thousands of suit styles, colors, and accessories, there are innumerable attitudes you can express with your fashion choices. Here’s a brief guide to what your custom suit could say about you:
Considering all of the varying degrees of formality in everyday society, it’s no wonder that there are so many styles of suits. If you wear a two-button, single-breasted suit with a special iPad holder, you could be telling the world that you’re a highly professional businessman. A simple blazer and khakis, on the other hand, shows people that you still care about your appearance despite your more relaxed attitude.
Color is a lot more powerful than most people realize. When it comes to suits, for example, color can express your level of professionalism. Navy blue, charcoal grey, and black are all excellent suit colors that convey professionalism and authority.
Your suit’s pattern also has an important bearing on others’ perceptions of you. A pinstripe suit can make you seem wealthy, while a herringbone or plaid suit can give you an air of academia. For your first suit, however, it’s generally a good idea to go with a solid color, as it’s widely considered the go-to suit style.
Even if you only buy one suit, you can change the way it looks by including or omitting certain accessories. For example, a tie and matching pocket handkerchief can make you look more formal, while forgoing the tie can make you seem more casual. It’s important that you don’t go overboard when accessorizing, as you could come off as trying too hard to impress.
If you have any questions about how to send the right message with your suit, come by Mohan’s Custom Tailors, Inc. We have decades of experience creating exquisite custom suits for exquisite men—if you call us today at (888) 434-1657, we could make the perfect suit for you, too.

Though the number of buttons on your suit may seem insignificant, no detail is too trivial when it comes to bespoke suits. In fact, there are a number of fashion guidelines that cover the number of buttons to include on a custom suit and how these buttons should be buttoned. Here’s a brief look at the ins and outs of suit buttons:
When it comes to the buttons on the front of the suit, men have a lot of options. Tuxedoes and formal suits generally have one button, while the vast majority of single-breasted business suits have two buttons. Suits with three, four, or more buttons on the front are usually worn only by tall men with athletic builds. Double-breasted suits have double the number of buttons of single-breasted suits, and are not very common in today’s fashion world.
If you look closely at the sleeves of most suits, you’ll see that there are several buttons that appear to serve no function at all. Most suits have three or four of these buttons, which are, in fact, purely for show. Bespoke suits, on the other hand, often have cuff buttons that actually work to keep the cuffs together. These are known as “surgeon’s cuffs.”
Once you’ve decided how many buttons you want on your suit, you’ll have to learn how and when to button them. Generally speaking, the bottom button on any suit should be left undone at all times. When you’re standing or walking, you should always keep the top button of a two-buttoned suit fastened, and then unfasten it whenever you sit down. Some men like to leave the sleeves of their bespoke suits unbuttoned, though many consider this to be showing off.
If you’d like the opportunity to show off a bespoke suit of your own, contact Mohan’s Custom Tailors, Inc. We have the skill and experience necessary to create an elegant custom suit for you, no matter your size or build.
