Oliver Kite – Master Flyfisherman

We’re huge fans of Oliver Kite, an English sportsman who broadcast a literate Fly Fishing show in England during the 60′s. Whenever we discover a forgotten episode, we like to share. As style mavens we are always interested in the classic English looks of the day.

Enjoy!

Summer Weddings

This time of year finds us on the phone and email answering questions about our cotton seersucker and poplin suits for summer weddings. Cotton suiting is fast becoming the suit of choice for grooms getting married….. the cool, crisp fabric fits the mood and is the right look for those summertime occasions.

Recently we ran across a blog about a Wisconsin wedding set in an antique barn…. and a beautiful bride….. and not surprisingly, a groom dressed in seersucker.

The cotton suit was perfect for the setting!

Finding the Trad

Corbin Trouser Co. was founded in 1947 by Nathaniel Corbin as a men’s trouser company. What happened over the next 60 years was a transformation of the “trousers only” manufacturer into a full service mens manufacturer featuring trousers, suits and sport coats. During that time the Corbin name became synonymous with quality natural shoulder clothing —- sold in only the best traditional stores.

The fit of Corbin trousers is a traditional fit– not to big or small. The Corbin coats are a slightly forward natural shoulder, darted front silhouette. The look is timeless and the quality is superb.

American Suit Store is now offering Corbin’s fine line of clothing— ready to be shipped to your home. Visit today!

Leave the sweater in the closet – Time for an Unstructured Coat

The Bill

You know the routine – the fall air has cooled and you’re in the closet looking for a sweater to wear with the trusty cords or khakis. How many years have you been wearing a sweater? Seems like forever, right?

Maybe its time to lose the sweater and think about a sport coat. No, not your father’s sport coat…..but something new – something soft, casual and comfortable – an entirely classic look.  The American Suit Store unstructured coat has a soft shoulder with no lining and finished seams and a fit that shouts comfort. Two bone buttons and two open patch pockets. Try it on and you will notice the difference. The coat is perfect for those occasions when a casual look is in order.  Fabric is a 100% Cotton Twill, in Navy and Khaki. $195
