On the flip side, since green shirts are hard to come by off-the-rack or made-to-measure, maybe it’s a good option to choose that bespoke and get the other ones non-bespoke. In my experience, most people who order bespoke dress shirts value their time very highly, and if they would say, maybe, that one hour it costs them $300, their time that they invest into that garment is actually more expensive than what they pay to the craftsman. Go with made-to-measure shirts if you want to take a step up, if you want to choose your fabrics and combine them with the specific color choices and cuff choices that you want, and if you have maybe slightly longer arms or something that makes it hard to get the fit you desire from off-the-rack shirts. It’s also the option for people who are willing to spend a little more to get a better result and don’t mind waiting for the garment or maybe even risking having to redo it over and over again if it’s not right the first or the second time around.

It’s worth mentioning that there are over 40 different style options available under the 501 model on the Levi’s website. We decided to go with the most classic pair we could find, so for this review, we’re looking at the 501 original fit, rinsed in dark wash, or if you’re in Europe, the style might be called “one wash. With the different finishes available within the 501 style, it’s easy to see how there’s a difference in fabric that is used and how in recent years, the 501 has been more about focusing on fit rather than staying true to the original 501 model. With that in mind, the Levi’s 501 model will work wonderfully with someone who has a more classic style and fit.

It’s amazing how many ways a hat can affect the perception of your face–from the size of your nose and chin to how prominent your ears are–and even your body size depending on the color and height of the hatband or the width of the brim, among other things. So, if you have a round or wide face, it’s best to avoid a spread-collared dress shirt, because the width and open points enhance the impression of width. It’s also worth stating that wider lapels broaden the chest at the expense of narrowing the shoulders, since they cover more of the shoulder area, so you have to decide which area of your upper body you prefer to emphasize based on your physique. Do bear in mind that longer and more pointed shoes look strange with slim-fit pants, however, so if you have long feet or shoes with a longer toe shape, make sure the leg openings of your pants are wide enough to balance them out.

Mad Men is among the most stylish TV shows aired, and as it’s set in the 1960s, we thought it would be great to pay a visit to Madison Avenue to see what the television hit series Mad Men got right and what they got wrong in terms of the men’s fashion during the time. The Men of “Mad Men” and Their Clothing – Let’s start with the face of the show, Don Draper played by Jon Hamm wearing a business suit in the first episode of the first season. However, men’s fashion, in general, and in this decade, in particular, heavily relies on the details, and this is where Mad Men, oftentimes, shows that it doesn’t pay full attention to those little things. So, ultimately, Mad Men does a great job of superficially portraying 1960s men’s fashions, but maybe, just like with its main character, don’t look too closely at the details; you may not like what you find.
