Bespoke Masterclass with GQ
We recently welcomed GQ to Cad & The Dandy's New York penthouse to film a masterclass on building the perfect suit.
Hosted by our co-founder Ian Meiers, this expert guide covers everything you need to know, from fabrics and buttons to those tiny details that make a suit uniquely yours.
What You’ll Learn: The Anatomy of the Perfect Suit
In this masterclass, Ian walks us through the three key elements of suit design, materials, style, and fit, sharing pro-tips to make the process simple and enjoyable.
1. Materials
The foundation of a great suit lies in the fabric. Ian dives into:
Choosing the right cloth type and weight to match your lifestyle and climate.
Understanding why fabric quality and origin matter for durability and comfort.
Adding personal touches like unique linings and buttons to make your suit stand out.
2. Style
A suit isn’t just clothing, it’s a statement. Ian explains:
How to pick colors that work for any occasion and complement your style.
The role of lapels, pockets, and even buttonholes in creating a polished, cohesive look.
Why small details, like the lining and trousers, make a big impact on the overall aesthetic.
3. Fit
Even the best materials won’t shine without a flawless fit.
Ian shares why bespoke tailoring is the ultimate way to achieve a suit that feels as good as it looks, offering comfort, confidence, and a completely customized experience.
