maintain that crisp look. Never ever wear a shirt with frayed cuffs or collars. Sleeve cuffs should fall about 1/2 inch below the jacket sleeve. With or without a tie is your choice, personally I believe that a tie is an important part of dressing like a gentleman, along with a nice silk breast pocket square. Pins & Stripes didn’t happen by accident. It was born out of a combination of hope, experience and frustration. As founder of Pins & Stripes and a successful businessman in his own right, Rupert Williams story is one of frustration. Having decided on having a bespoke suit made, his expectations were understandably high. He anticipated exceptional quality, discreet service, old-world charm and obsessive attention to detail. He wanted the bespoke experience and a suit that would give him a sense of occasion whenever he wore it. The reality fell short. He felt as if they were going through the motions. It just didn’t feel special enough – particularly at the price. The belief that he could provide a far better experience at a much lower price began to take shape. Pins & Stripes offers both men and women’s tailoring , with additional services in weddings and tweed. With Savile Row experience, quality and style are at the heart of Pins & Stripes. Affordability is what interests D’office Threads, and as many gentlemen demand quality with affordability, we believe Pins & Stripes can meet this perfectly. D’office Threads brings you just some of our favourite tailoring designs from Pins & Stripes. www.pinsandstripes.com - 42 -
