You have joined a bank and are investing in a wardrobe. Here are some useful tips for getting the most of your clothes.

9:43 PM By

Mubarakbad on your new job – and seeing the importance of dressing well and of course taking time out and thinking about your clothes as otherwise you would not have been reading this piece of advise from me. Yes, if you take care of your clothes, they will last you longer and look better on you. A little effort on your part increases the life of your clothes and does not cost much.

A clean suit

Dry cleaning and chemicals go hand in hand and hence should be restricted to not more than once a season. A dry cleaner who knows his business can spot –cleans small accidents and hand press the suit to refresh and bring it to shape.
Lint brush at the end of the day removes surface dust, hair and dirt.

Mix it up

All clothes like all other things in life have a certain life span and the life span of clothing is determined by how many washes it will withstand. So to increase the life of your clothing it is advisable to avoid wearing them on consecutive days. A man’s wardrobe should consist of five seasonally appropriate suits and a couple of jackets in rotation.

By the Neck

Ties should be always untied and never pulled. Hang your ties from their midpoint on tie racks as this will relax the inner lining and the tie will reacquire its original condition.

If the shirt fits

Careless laundering, starch and very hot water are responsible for our clothing’s short span. Shirts should be laundered at home and hanged in a shaded place, inside out and ironed while still damp. Collar stays give firmness to the collars and provide the ideal framing of your tie but should be removed before laundering or dry cleaning.

ALAM NAJIULLAH

9:48 PM By

Over the last 21 years, first-time entrepreneur Syed Alam Najiullah has steadily turned COTTON & COTTON that began due to a NO from a tailor at Tariq Road into a next generation fashion company. But the path from Karachi’s tailoring unit to Toronto’s fashion scene was anything but linear. Along the way, Alam experimented with a number of different models, making a series of strategic pivots some more successful than others.

‘Many have done far better than me in far shorter periods of time, but that was not my story says Alam Najiullah. It was brick by brick, client by client, store by store. It’s been a trip of passion, but it has not been a quick trip. Nor has it been easy. And that is the truth’. The designer is the gold standard in high-end men’s formal wear, worn by everyone from Presidents to Broadway Shows actors  in New York City. He’s a powerhouse entrepreneur who has grown a single tailoring unit into a fashion and lifestyle empire that spans a wide range of product segments – from a US $650 shirt to ready to wear – at price points that stretch from luxury to mass market.

“I wear many hats,” he says. “I have to be a promoter, a designer, a costumer of movie stars and celebrities, and a businessman,” says Alam, who heads both the business and creative sides of the company. “When you throw all of that into one bag, it’s a rough day. I love it, though.”

Alam was born in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. His father was a journalist of repute and a close confident of Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. “I think, in a way, watching him write influenced me subliminally,” says Alam. Since it was the era of Bhutto who was himself immaculately dressed and had made all around him love clothes so Alam got his education in fashion by watching the movers and shakers from close quarters.

At an early age, Alam fell in love with cars and bikes but a near death accident due to which he lost his eye, broke his passion for racing and speed. “When you fall down — which you have to [do] if you want to learn to be a racer — you pick yourself right up and start again. You don’t let anything deter you,” he notes. “Oddly enough, it’s strangely like fashion — you have a limited amount of time in which to get a point of view across.”

With his racing days behind him, Alam turned to fashion. “I thought maybe I could go to design school but then decided in favor of the most illustrious of business schools in Pakistan, the IBA. At IBA, it was strategy that was his passion whereas the designer within him kept him at work. Clothes attracted him and volumes and volumes of GQ’s and Esquires prompted him to search for tailors who could emulate the images of his favorite images but to no avail. Until one day a tailor who after hours and hours of coaching and teaching by Alam suddenly boiled up and challenged him to do it himself. Alam took the challenge and initiated his successful venture and called it COTTON & COTTON.

In 1992, Alam opened his own men’s boutique. COTTON & COTTON started from a small locality and certainly not known for fashion was termed as atrocious by many “Because I didn’t come from a retail garment background, I think I brought fashion to the men’s fashion industry,” he says. “I was fearless because I really didn’t know any better.”

Alam has since pushed the boundaries of menswear. “[I] try to bring edginess to a traditional business,” he says. His most recent collection, for example, blends a traditional with a local palette. “[I] take a lot of stylistic and visual and intellectual liberties with the concept of a shirt. Every season, I try to change it — and that demand I put on myself is enormous. It’s painful.”

All ‘Tied’ up with COTTON & COTTON Ties

9:27 PM By

It's a small thing-- a long piece of cloth worn for decorative purposes around the neck or shoulders, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat. But it’s these details which make an inherently classy and stylish gentleman stand out from a ‘wannabe’.

When you're sporting a tie, you can pretty much gain entry anywhere --whether you're suiting up for the office or getting decked up for a formal evening-- a tie allows you to bring together the disparate elements of your wardrobe with a touch of texture or complementary color. It completes the most elite of suits and adds veneer to a casual dress shirt. If you learn to do it correctly—balance the width of the tie against your lapels and shirt collar, find a knot that fits your face—you'll have dressing right all tied up.

The Tie is the first thing people notice about your outfit, so the fashion connoisseurs at COTTON & COTTON will help introduce you to the finest ties, how they should be worn and cared for.

COTTON & COTTON ties-- patterned and plain; subtle and vivid-- do not stand apart from or clash with your chosen outfit. The superior ties from COTTON & COTTON are meant to speak to the rest of your outfit—may it be C&C’s Italian woven suits or its twoply cotton shirts.

Sporting a tie must be done with exactitude and finesse. A gentleman’s tie is very different from the one worn carelessly by school boys. No matter what your height, the tip of your COTTON & COTTON tie should hit right at your beltline. Also, narrow ties are ‘in’ yet not super-skinny. Ideally, a tie should be about two and a quarter to two and three-quarter inches at its widest point. This thinner width works both at the office and on the town, syncing up with any modern-cut suit.

Even though there are umpteen ways to knot a tie—from Ascot, to Prince Albert; from Nicky to the Pratt knot-- yet contemporary fashion experts deem the four-in-hand as ‘in’. It's neither too big nor too small nor too perfectly triangular. It's natural and elegant, and it works with every collar, from a spread to a point.

The cherry on top is the dimple in your tie--When you're almost done tying your tie, press your thumb against your index finger just beneath the knot, so the fabric forms a crease. Pull down the narrow end of the tie to tighten the dimple, and slide up the knot. Finesse either side of the dimple to accentuate the fold and set it in place.

As far as patterns and colors go--a solid dark tie with a white or light-color shirt is an unbeatably classy combination for work and formal events.  Every man should own a solid navy, burgundy or gray COTTON & COTTON tie in his everyday wardrobe. The solid coloured high quality ties from COTTON & COTTON are always very striking and elegant and will never ripple or shadow.

Stripes are the next best thing to solid coloured ties--if you only have a few ties, opt for bold and simple patterns; choose repp stripes or our various styles of diagonal stripes.If you are looking for something a little more stylish, opt for astonishing high-tech grays and blacks. These make for extremely rich styles when matched with a similar toned shirt, a well-tailored suit and quality shoes.

At COTTON & COTTON we encourage you to be different and original. If you wish to be trendy and bold with your tie choice, make sure it’s with a superior quality COTTON & COTTON tie. Coordinated with a well-cut COTTON & COTTON suit, trendy shoes and the right overall look, it can be a great way to show off your outgoing personality.

Quality ties like those at C&C are cut across the fabric allowing the tie to fall straightforward after the knot has been tied. They do not curl when you put it across your hand. Match your ties to your C&C suiting fabrics— cotton ties with cotton suits in summer, wool ties with wool suits in winter.

A supreme and exclusive tie bought from COTTON & COTTON needs to be cared for. Each time you remove your tie, untie the knot by reversing the method used to tie the tie. Do not pull the small end of your tie through the knot. Do not leave the tie knotted, as it will permanently crease the fabric. After removing, hang the tie on a tie rack or drape them around the collar of the coat. To remove wrinkles, usually it is enough to place the tie on its tie rack overnight. If that doesn’t work, rollup the tie, small end first and let it sit for a day. Finally, you may steam the tie. When traveling, pack your ties by rolling, starting with small end first or carefully fold into 4 sections. Unpack upon arrival and hang your ties in the bathroom while you shower. The steam will help remove slight wrinkles.

The versatile and classic collection of ties at COTTON & COTTON can match most of your shirts and suits. Whether a tie is a part of your everyday work garb or you only handpick a few for those special occasions, the superior ties from COTTON & COTTON are a smart investment and worth every dime you pay for their unsurpassed quality.

COTTON & COTTON Suits—The Mark of a Well-Dressed Man!

3:13 AM By

Whether your work requires you to be suited and look your best at all times or your social life calls for evenings which require you to don the dark suit; whether you want to be the archetypal modern groom in a suit or wish to woo the woman of your choice looking dapper—COTTON & COTTON is ‘the’ place to buy the best quality suits woven in Italy.

Fashion experts unanimously agree that the suit is the basic building block of looking good. It's a timeless and ever adaptable piece of clothing which every gentleman must have.

The complete contemporary man understands what it takes to carry a suit with poise and class. The modern suit is not overdone—rather it compliments the smart, confident and thoroughly put together man who wears it. He makes a statement by not trying so hard to make one. Yes, the trimness of the suit and elegance of the details is vital yet the streamlined simplicity and perfect crafted suit brings out a man’s personality.

A good suit jacket should skim your shoulders and not hang off them and have a perfect width in the sleeves. The jacket should nip in at the waist, and be long enough to cover your backside. Your trousers should be trim, and hemmed properly. An overly roomy suit makes one look sloppy and short.

The lapel of the suit bestows it character--a slim one, about two inches at its widest point is the modern way. A lower button stance in the jacket—may it be two-button or three-button--makes the torso look lean and tapered.

Your suit sleeves should end just above the hinges of your wrists, so a quarter to half inch of shirt cuff shows. The vent at the back is integral to the jacket’s character-- a center vent is popular and unobtrusive and keeps the lines of the suit clean and simple. Side vents are more of a fashion statement.

The flat-front pants of suits, cut slim with very little break at the ankle, clipping the top of your shoes give a long, clean look.

At COTTON & COTTON our expert tailors take your size to perfection so that when you wear your suit jacket there is a firmness to it which moulds your form and contours your body. It makes you snap to attention and stand taller.

Every season calls for a timely suit—it’s sensible to reach for COTTON & COTTON heavier, warmer fabrics in the cooler climate and our lightweight cotton suiting is ideal when it's hot and humid. For an elegant, formal look all the year around, make the exclusive COTTON & COTTON suits your fashionable choice.

Leave a Blazing Trail with COTTON & COTTON Blazers

7:17 AM By

'A short, double-breasted jacket called the reefer jacket was worn by sailors in harsh weather in the 1800’s, when they performed duties such as reefing the sails. The modern dark—single, as well as, double-breasted-- blazer with metallic buttons is said to have evolved from this.
Many fail to tell the difference between a blazer and a sport-jacket and put themselves in a precarious position of committing a fashion faux-pas. A sport jacket is textured and oftentimes patterned, whereas a blazer comes in solid colors-usually navy or black. A blazer is crafted from a smooth fabric and traditionally sports naval-style brass buttons. Also, a blazer does not come with a matching pair of pants.  Perhaps the most preeminent and versatile aspect regarding a blazer is the fact that they can be worn over a shirt and tie or thrown over a polo shirt. It can be donned over every kind of trouser to the most rugged denim jeans you have in your wardrobe. This is why a superior quality blazer from COTTON & COTTON is a must have for a man of class.
Fashion experts deem that a blazer should always be matched with odd trousers and never a fabric too similar. It is not a substitute for a suit but is meant to fill the yawning gulf between a business suit and casual dress. Thus, wearing a dark colored blazer for ‘business casual’ occasions is a trend which has caught on like a house on fire. Associated with gentlemanly sports like yachting, rowing and cricket-a blazer is an icon of style and class.
One needs unmistakable style and flair to carry off a COTTON & COTTON blazer just as it is meant to be worn. The blazers at COTTON & COTTON offer just the right fit in the shoulders allowing full arm movement and room in the chest to fully button the jacket.

The blazers at COTTON & COTTON are for the man who wants to look his best no matter what the occasion; for a man who doesn’t have to try too hard'.
