Custom-tailored suits have transcended exclusivity, appealing to any man who prizes personal style. Ryan and Calvin Smith, the entrepreneurs behind Dubai’s British tailoring hub Suited and Booted, delve into the reasons why bespoke is a cornerstone of sartorial excellence.
“Tailored suits are meticulously crafted to an individual’s exact measurements, ensuring a fit that is attuned to one’s unique body shape and size,” Ryan Smith clarifies. “Unlike off-the-rack options, a tailored piece will enhance your silhouette and offer unparalleled comfort. With an extensive selection of high-end Italian and British fabrics, we cater to every preference.”
The variety of suits on the market can be daunting for beginners, yet Suited and Booted boasts a collection to fit every individual.
Calvin Smith notes, “The world of suits offers a vast spectrum of designs suitable for myriad events. Whether it’s the sleek lines of a single-breasted suit or the formal flair of a double-breasted piece, each has its own character. It’s our job to find the perfect alignment between the suit, the setting, and the client’s personal taste.”
However, the devil is in the details. “The right accessory, be it a tie or pocket square, is crucial for an elevated ensemble,” he emphasizes.
The specialists at Suited and Booted are dedicated to guiding customers to feel regal in their attire. “Selecting the ideal cut, color, and style involves a thorough understanding of the client’s physique, preferences, lifestyle, and the occasion,” Ryan mentions.
Consultations at Suited and Booted begin with determining the suit’s primary function before exploring the most fitting colors and styles.
The Smith brothers themselves are connoisseurs of fashion. When asked about their current wardrobe favorites, Ryan praised his bespoke Super 160s Drago navy two-piece, a true classic. Calvin favored their custom casual line, praising its diverse, high-quality off-duty essentials.
Calvin’s style inspiration stems from his father’s impeccably tailored wardrobe, while Ryan credits the sartorial prowess of Sean Connery’s James Bond for his foray into fashion.
Seven years since its inception in Dubai, Suited and Booted has thrived in what has now become a regional luxury fashion hotspot. “Dubai’s ascent as a leading luxury fashion venue is impressive,” Ryan observes. “Our clientele is as varied as Dubai’s culture, including expatriates drawn by the city’s lifestyle and the Emirati nationals.”
