Unique suit linings from Bespoke Edge
For some time now, Ron has been searching high and low for some unique suit linings. A task that when you start looking, you begin to realize is not easy.
Fortunately, we made some new contacts during our trip to the Custom Tailors & Designers event in New York last month. And this past week, we received some really amazing jacket lining books.
Nothing in these books is ordinary. Complex patterns and graphic prints are the norm. Lots of color too.
And remember that with the lining you don’t really have to match it to the jacket. It’s truly your opportunity to exercise your creativity. For instance, if you have a need to build a relatively conservative suit – say, one without accent button holes or fashion forward peak lapels – try choosing a lining that really speaks to your soul!
Personally, I usually go with something with blue as the secondary color since I have an affinity for blue pocket squares. This is my way of subtly referring to my jacket.
But I have been known to throw caution to the wind…
I’d recommend forgetting all about matching and instead, going for the lining that in a split second makes you say “Wow!”
That’s your lining.
You didn’t choose it, it chose you :).
The fabric
The bottom line is that our selection of jacket linings has significantly improved this month. In all, we have over 100 swatches in two books. Many of these lining fabrics are made of the superb Cupro Bemberg material.
Bemberg is a type of rayon that is commonly found inside most high-end bespoke suits. It’s Japanese made and feels a bit like silk, but it’s more breathable and durable than somewhat tear-prone silk. Interestingly, it’s actually made of cotton, but the makeup of the fiber has been changed to give it the unique properties.
Wrap up
Bottom line: If you’re bored of the same old suit linings give us a call today and take a look at some unique suit linings you won’t find anywhere else.
