Whether it’s your every day attire or you only wear it for special occasions, a suit needs to be well-tailored. Quality and fit should be on the priority list. A suit in itself is a statement and once we make a statement, it should be a strong one. President’s, one of the brands on The Blogazine‘s to-watch-list, is a brand that takes the art of suits seriously.
With knowledge passed down through the generations, President’s crafts their full collections in the heart of Tuscany, a few kilometres outside of Florence. Even though entirely crafted in Tuscany, the brand is in constant search for quality and travels the world to find what they search. For the Autumn/Winter 2013-14 collection, President’s went to one of our sartorialist friends, Loro Piana. From the exquisite fabric, a blue 100% wool Super 120, to the genuine horn buttons as a last fine detail, the suit is constructed with care and the hours of work put into the tailoring of it can be seen through the slightly transparent rib stop in 100% Japanese nylon.
It’s already understood that the projects of President’s are fueled with a passion for authenticity and excellence and even though Italy lies near to heart, President’s seem to have a fondness of the British gentleman as well. After a collaboration with UK masters of shoes, Solovair, the brand went English also for a wool suit with fabrics by Dugdale & Bros. The English company is historic when it comes to producing fabric for high-end clothes. The suit, also this one produced for the A/W13-14, combines elegance with a raw feel and perfectly fitted jacket. The pants are detailed with a welt pocket – a detail for the eye, or for the loose change money you’re carrying around.
The wardrobe of President’s remains on the edge between streetwear and the classical pieces for any contemporary man. From a standard pair of denims, cotton shirt and cashmere sweaters to suits for a guy with taste, this young brand succeeds to propose pieces that work season after season.
