Strong Suit: Classic Suiting for the Modern Man

By

Arkansas has brought us the Clintons, Johnny Cash and major corporations among others. Now the Southern state debuts a ready-to-wear suit brand that takes it up a sartorial notch. Strong Suit, created by Jamie Davidson, has set out on a mission to create high-quality, affordable suiting for the modern professional. The brand is currently carried in niche luxury men’s stores across the nation. Off the rack suits start at $595 and made-to-measure start at $795. All their suiting is made in Mexico City.

We caught up with Founder and CEO Jamie Davidson to get up to speed on Strong Suit.

What was the inspiration behind Strong Suit? The inspiration was simply to create something very sophisticated that was affordable. My grandfather was an architect who specialized in postmodern design and I always appreciated the economy and beauty of his aesthetic. My good friend George Bass always says “ Quality is economy”. I wish I had thought of that.

How would you describe the brand’s aesthetic and style? I would say that we are classically inspired in terms of detail and fabrics but our hallmark is our fit.

What sets Strong Suit apart from the other suiting options? I think while our suits are certainly modern in our silhouette our styling and fabrics are really timeless. We offer a tremendous value. I don’t think there is anyone out there offering our level of quality in terms of a canvas front, Italian fabrics, and design details for under $1000 let alone for under $600.

Who is the Strong Suit guy? He is a guy who wants to look sophisticated but doesn’t want to look like he is wearing a costume. He values his wardrobe but he doesn’t spend money just to satisfy a trend. He appreciates details. He would identify with Steve McQueen and James Bond as his style icons.

Where can guys find Strong Suit if they want to try one out? We sell Strong Suit through some of the best specialty stores in the country. There is a comprehensive list on our web site. Or of course you can call us if there isn’t a retailer close to you.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.

We're living in a world of ever-evolving technology. While we look at trends from the past and see that we're pulling from yesterday to curate a stylish aesthetic, there's no doubt that technology propels us forward.
