DCLA takes bespoke to your living room

Stay home and still look great

There are few things better than wearing a phenomenal suit. It may sound shallow, but the truth is you get treated differently when you are rocking the Barney Stinson Special. There are a lot of options when searching for the right suit; you can get a nested suit, a ready-to-wear suit separate, made-to-measure, custom, bespoke, or borrowing from your brother. While made-to-measure vs. bespoke are the two choices you should absolutely be shooting for at all times, even those options leave dozens of avenues. However, nearly all of them have the same weak points. They all require you to do the one thing that many of us struggle to find the motivation for: shopping. However, the DCLA team has implemented a new process that takes the shopping out of the deal, or at least the driving to the store part. The DCLA made-to-measure program will come to your home.

Taking the complications out of the process

Deepak Chhatwal, the founder of DCLA, went on a global tour to search for the perfect ingredients to make the world’s best suit. He visited bustling metropolises like London’s Savile Row, Philly, and New York City and also dove deep into the textiles in areas like Milan and Como. This trip resulted in a process of taking three dozen precise measurements (they even make your left sleeve cuff wider on your shirt to accommodate your watch). It is a highly personalized process that gets you as close as the industry will ever get to a true bespoke suit again. Oh, and of course, it is all done from the comfort of your own home.

For anyone who hasn’t gone through this process before, it is helpful to be around your wardrobe so you and the professional can see what you have and come up with the best way to deepen your wardrobe.

Vince. reinvents the cashmere sweater for 2024 by going vintage
Vince looks back to push style forward
Vince Johnny Collar Cashmere

The gold standard of the sweater wardrobe has been the cashmere sweater for years. It is soft, warm, attractive, and as luxurious as anything you could ever want. Cashmere is by far the king of any fabrics in the industry, and while you will see it in everything from sport coats to overcoats, the sweater is where it belongs. Vince. is a brand that lives in luxury, taking its California vibes and providing understated luxurious garments for men and women that embody the allure of the West Coast, most specifically Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Orange County. This season, in the heyday of the old-school vintage looks, Vince. is reaching back into the past to push the cashmere sweater forward with one classically cool feature.
Adding the Johnny Collar

Johnny Mathis is one of the most legendary musical icons the industry has ever seen. Along with Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen, he carries the distinction of being among the longest-tenured musicians under the Columbia Records banner. He also is one of only four artists (Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow, and Prince) to have five albums on the Billboard Charts at the same time. However, in the fashion world, he is known primarily for the Johnny Collar, a buttonless open collar similar to a polo. Vince. reaches back to the rise of this collar in the 50s and 60s and brings it to today so you can update your cashmere sweater in the most stylish way this season.

DUER combines maximum comfort with maximum function with Tech Fleece
Stay warm without being weighed down
DUER Tech Fleece

One of the worst problems you have ever had is the cold wind biting your legs through your denim. Jeans are some of the most versatile pants the world has ever seen, but they don't always do a good job of keeping you warm. And don't get us started on the dreadful feeling of wearing wet jeans; just end our day and send us home because that feeling is enough to ruin your whole week. While technology doesn't necessarily feel like it is applicable to clothing, DUER uses technology and discovery to its advantage to give you the most advanced and comfortable clothing on the market. The company knows denim better than most, putting stretch in the crotch to make sure you can move like sweatpants and not rip the seams. This fall, the DUER Tech Fleece will change the way jeans get warmer.
Made for everything you do in the fall and winter

Look, DUER knows jeans, and they are among the best at getting things right. Fleece or flannel-lined jeans are not a new thing, but here is how the folks over at DUER did it better. They are thin and movable, and it barely feels like you are wearing jeans, much less fleece-lined jeans. The denim is interwoven with fleece fibers and brushed to create an ultra-light, cozy lining. Add to that the durable water repellant they use in their denim, and you have a pair of jeans that not only solve both problems above but do so in style.

Aran Sweater Market lets you find your clan
Wear the sweater of your Irish heritage
Aran Sweater Market McMahon Crest

The Aran Islands at the mouth of the Galway Bay off the west coast of Ireland have always been home to fishermen and farmers who worked hard and put their lives on the line to feed themselves and their families at the mercy of the Atlantic Ocean. One of the ways they kept themselves warm and dry to the relentless barrage of waves and weather was to develop what is still today one of the most popular sweaters ever to dominate the menswear industry, the fisherman's sweater. The Aran Sweater is functional and fashionable, but one company is doing more than keeping you warm and stylish. The Aran Sweater Market Clans allow you to reach back into your Irish history and wear something with ties to your ancestors as well as to your personal style.
A sweater that is rooted deep in your family history

The Aran Sweater Market is more than just a company selling quality sweaters; it is a group of people who want nothing more than to support the home they hail from. They see it as their duty to keep the story, beauty, and true essence of the sweater and the spirit of the Islands alive. As connected as they are to their history, they want you to be connected to yours. You can find your surname and the clan it is attached to and get more than a sweater. You can get a shawl, a scarf, a knitting kit, and even a family history. Wear more than a stylish sweater; connect yourself with your past while you build your future.
