Contrary to appearances, a made-to-measure wedding suit is a garment that can be very versatile. No one said it’s meant to be worn only on the wedding day.
Made-to-measure wedding suit
Today we present the made-to-measure wedding suit Miler Blue, created as a result of a collaboration between Miler Menswear and Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Although this suit has a universal character, making it perfectly suitable for business occasions, today we are presenting it as part of a wedding ensemble — to show how the uniqueness of a garment can help celebrate a moment as important as a wedding.
Exceptional fabric – water-resistant wool
The wool used to make the Miler Blue wedding suit was woven by the Italian mill Vitale Barberis Canonico, specially commissioned by Miler Menswear. The fabric’s shade matches the label color of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. To evoke the Scottish spirit of the suit, the fabric was treated with a hydrophobic finish, which makes all liquids simply roll off the surface of the Miler Blue suit. It goes without saying that a made-to-measure wedding suit made from such fabric can be a perfect choice, protecting the groom from potential stains.
What makes this option stand out?
Elegance is about being noticed, not remembered. The made-to-measure wedding suit Miler Blue in the set below perfectly embodies this idea. Although the garments presented may appear understated, a discerning eye will quickly spot the details that make this outfit unique and draw positive attention from those who see it.
- Pin collar
...that is, a shirt with a pin collar. Although the pin collar shirt was considered semi-formal at the beginning of the 20th century, in this outfit it simply looks intriguing.
- Tie made of printed silk
The colors of the presented outfit are subdued and plain, which is why it’s a good idea to liven them up with a patterned element. This role is perfectly fulfilled by the tie, whose pattern is distinct yet not too bold for this ensemble.
- Vest in dove gray
The contrasting vest is a classic element of formal attire. Inspired by the traditional morning coat, it pairs beautifully with the navy suit, creating an exceptionally harmonious look.
How does a vest enhance the silhouette?
Since the model featured in this article is not a particularly slim person, the tailor applied several techniques to help create a more slender silhouette. The most prominent of these are, of course, the wide lapels. An additional subtle detail is the arrangement of the vest buttons, forming a gently outlined “V” shape that draws attention away from the model’s less subtle contours.
The best for last – the magical lining
There’s no denying it — the most stunning feature of the Miler Blue suit is its incredibly fascinating lining, designed by none other than Alek “Lis Kula” Morawski himself. Here’s how beautifully this illustration presents itself...
The illustration by Alek Morawski depicts a map of Scotland along with the traditional whisky production process — including barley cultivation, peat cutting, fermentation in Oregon pine mash tuns, distillation in copper stills, maturation in oak casks, blending, and bottling, shown here through the example of the luxurious Johnnie Walker Blue Label whisky (available at an attractive price at Krest!). The lining also features numerous motifs connected to the homeland of this amber spirit.
Below, you can see how at Miler Menswear we turn theory into practice. The illustration shown earlier has been printed on silk and hand-sewn into the lining of the Miler Blue suit jacket. Naturally, sewing in a lining like this is an extremely challenging task. In made-to-measure tailoring, every client has a different size, which means the cuts of the lining pieces always fall in different areas. Fortunately, our tailoring workshop has extensive experience, which ensures the final result looks truly exceptional.
Due to the limited quantity of fabric produced, the Miler Blue wedding suit will be made in only a few dozen pieces. Of course, the exact number depends on the overall measurements of the clients, which affect the amount of fabric used.
