20 Relaxed Tailoring Brands for Stylish Men

20 Relaxed Tailoring Brands for Stylish Men

Published by Akaay

If you think suits mean stuffy, you’re doing it wrong. Tailoring is steeped in tradition, but things have evolved a lot over the years. Menswear across the board has loosened up, and the goalposts for what constitutes a suit have widened significantly. A bespoke Savile Row-made tuxedo falls under the tailoring umbrella, but so does a two-piece cotton-twill trouser-and-chore jacket set from a casual-leaning label such as Universal Works. It’s a spectrum. We love tailoring, but we’ll be the first to admit it can be an intimidating world to step into. That’s why the best relaxed-tailoring brands provide such positive service. They democratise suits, opening them up to a whole market of people who might not think of themselves as ‘suit people’. Suddenly, you can wear something special to dress up or mark an occasion without feeling constricted or like you’re playing dress-up. There are countless brands that fall into this admittedly rather loosely defined category, ranging from essentially just elevated casualwear to more luxury-leaning labels that play with shape and proportion to achieve a …

Tailoring AI solutions for health care needs

Published by skeptic

AI applications for health care are proliferating rapidly. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved more than 1,300 AI-enabled medical devices, mostly for interpreting diagnostic images. More than half of these were approved in the past three years, with the earliest dating as far back as 1995. Non-radiological applications carry out tasks as diverse as tracking sleep apnea, analyzing heart rhythms, and planning orthopedic surgeries. AI applications that do not count as medical devices— for example, those that handle scheduling and administrative tasks—are more difficult to track but are also rapidly increasing. AI can help coordinate complex tasks and workflows that are often conventionally managed by whiteboards and sticky notes. Such functions may well outstrip clinical uses in their impact on health systems. A recent survey of technology leaders found that 72% said their top priority for AI was reducing caregiver burden and improving caregiver satisfaction, while over half (53%) cited workflow efficiency and productivity. Any health care-related application can potentially impact patient care, whether directly or indirectly, and AI apps that are poorly …

Knickerbocker’s channeling of classic mid-century cool doesn’t stop with beefy chinos and camp collar shirts. The New York label makes some head-turning tailoring as well and its Miles suit is prime example. The 2×2 button front is a pointed departure from the usual double-breasted button configurations we’re used to seeing and gives the suit a retro feel in a way that’s actually hip and not dated. Add to that a featherlight linen-cotton blended fabric woven in Italy, and you’ve got a suit that feels as cool as it looks. A Great Black Option: Smock Wool Gabardine Suit Smock Wool Gabardine Blazer Smock Wool Gabardine West Coast Pant Mohawk General Store is one of the greatest multi-brand menswear retailers in the country, but fewer people know that its house line, Smock, has fully earned its place among the other brands it carries (and almost always beats on price.) Made from premium Japanese Wool Gabardine, the blazer’s got a notched lapel, two-button closure, center vent, and easy-access patch pockets, while the pants have welted rear pockets for …

Stòffa Double Breasted Suit: A great casual suit for guys who actually want to wear one Stòffa Wool Cashmere Flannel Suit At its core, a suit is really just a jacket and pants cut from the same fabric. The sartorial genii at Stòffa understand this and have established themselves as experts in pushing the notion to its chillest, softest limits. Hence, the brand’s flagship silhouette, which calls itself a “Double-Breasted Shirt Jacket” but reads like a deconstructed DB suit when paired with the matching double-pleat trousers (and a nice pair of black loafers). Cut like a shirt, with an unlined, two-panel construction, it’s consistently available in a changing selection of seasonal fabrics, including a particularly choice wool and cashmere flannel. “The piece’s design acknowledges a variety of garment-making traditions—from tailoring to shirt-making, functional workwear and uniforms—but aims to present an option free from their inherent associations and limitations,” says a Stòffa spokesperson.

David wears High Society outfit, Zakka Bakka hat and Adieu shoes. The intrigue of magic — any magic — is rooted in its mystery. A craft performed out of sight can surprise us with its shape-shifting power, which only truly reveals itself to those who know where to look. Hems, inseams, darts and vents are all details hidden beneath the surface of a garment, but much like the body’s skeletal system, they make up the essential, inconspicuous infrastructure on which a suit hangs. The light touch of a tailor’s hand makes it so that the clothes they create and adjust seem casually perfect, despite the immense amount of labor. But suits do not simply appear out of thin air: They are the terminal point of a journey that begins with an idea, then a pattern, then carefully cut fabric, which is ultimately sewn, adjusted, worn. And in the case of suits made by the team at High Society, these multi-step works of art usually end up in a client’s closet for a lifetime. Founded by …
