Why Every Man Needs a Custom Suit That Fits Every Occasion?

You Know the Struggle – Finding the Right Suit for Every Occasion is a Hassle

Let’s be real—how often have you stood in front of your closet, staring at your suits, thinking, None of these work for this occasion? Maybe your go-to work suit feels too stiff for a wedding, or your best formal suit makes you look overdressed at a networking event. 

So, what do you do? You either settle for something that’s not quite right or end up buying another suit you barely wear. Sound familiar?

What if you had one suit that could do it all? A suit designed just for you, tailored to your fit, style, and lifestyle. Something versatile enough to wear to the office, a night out, or even a formal event with just a few tweaks. 

That’s where Edward Baumann Clothiers comes in. We make custom suits that aren’t just about looking good but about making your life easier.

Why Off-the-Rack Suits Always Fall Short

If you’ve ever bought an off-the-rack suit, you know the drill. It kinda fits, but never perfectly. The sleeves are just a little too long, the shoulders don’t sit right, and the pants? Don’t even get me started. 

You end up spending extra on alterations, and even then, it still doesn’t feel like it was made for you—because it wasn’t.

With a custom suit, you’re not working around generic sizing—you’re getting a suit made exactly for your body, style, and needs. It’s not about luxury; it’s about practicality.

The One Suit That Works for Everything

Now, here’s where things get interesting. A well-designed custom suit isn’t just a single-use outfit—it’s a wardrobe essential. 

With the right details, you can wear it anywhere without looking out of place. Here’s how you can style one suit for multiple occasions:

  • At the Office: Keep it classic with a white or light blue dress shirt, a subtle tie, and leather Oxfords. You look sharp without being overdressed.
  • At a Wedding: Swap out the tie for a pocket square, wear a bold-colored dress shirt, and opt for sleek loafers. Instantly more festive.
  • For a Night Out: Ditch the dress shirt for a fine-knit polo or turtleneck. Throw on some suede Chelsea boots, and you’ve got a stylish yet relaxed look.
  • For a Formal Event: Add a waistcoat or a black bow tie, and suddenly, your everyday suit is black-tie ready.

One suit, multiple looks. It’s all about smart styling.

What Goes Into a Truly Versatile Suit?

If you’re investing in a suit that does it all, every detail matters. Here are the key things that make a custom suit the ultimate multitasker:

1. The Right Fabric

Not all fabrics are created equal. For an all-purpose suit, you want something that works year-round—a mid-weight wool blend is ideal. It keeps you cool in summer, and warm in winter, and drapes beautifully.

2. A Timeless Color

Versatility means sticking to neutral tones. Navy, charcoal, or a deep gray works with almost any shirt, shoe, and accessory combination.

3. A Modern but Classic Fit

A slim-but-not-too-slim fit ensures the suit looks contemporary but isn’t trendy. You want something that still looks great in five or ten years.

4. Functional Details

  • Removable vest: Wear it when you need an extra touch of formality.
  • Minimalist lapels: A notch lapel keeps it professional but adaptable.
  • Quality lining: Ensures durability and comfort.

These details separate a good suit from a great one that truly adapts to your life.

The Custom Suit Process – What to Expect

Alright, let’s break down what actually happens when you decide to get a custom suit from Edward Baumann Clothiers. Spoiler: It’s easier than you think.

Step 1: The Consultation

We start with a chat. What’s your lifestyle? What occasions will you be wearing this suit for? Do you have a favorite fit or style? This helps us craft something that actually fits your needs.

Step 2: Precision Measurements

Forget generic sizing. We take detailed measurements, ensuring the suit fits like a second skin—comfortable but structured, flattering but not restrictive.

Step 3: Design & Customization

You get to choose everything—from the fabric to the buttons to the lining. Want your initials embroidered inside the jacket? Done. Prefer a specific type of lapel? No problem. This is where your personality comes into play.

Step 4: The First Fitting

Once the suit is constructed, we bring you in for a fitting. This is where we fine-tune the details—making sure the sleeves sit just right and the shoulders are perfect.

Step 5: The Final Adjustments 

We make any final tweaks, and then—you get to take home a suit that’s literally made for you. No more awkward fits, no more compromises.

Is a Custom Suit Really Worth It?

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—cost. Yes, a custom suit costs more upfront than an off-the-rack suit. But let’s do some quick math.

  • How many suits have you bought that didn’t quite fit?
  • How much have you spent on alterations trying to make a suit work?
  • How often do you buy a suit only to realize you need another one for a different occasion?

A custom suit eliminates all of those issues. One high-quality, perfectly fitted suit will outlast and outperform multiple mediocre ones.

The Suit That Works as Hard as You Do

At the end of the day, a suit isn’t just a piece of clothing—it’s a tool. A great suit makes getting dressed effortless. It ensures you always look polished, no matter the event. It saves you time, money, and stress.

And when it’s tailored just for you? That’s when a suit stops being just an outfit and becomes an investment in your confidence, style, and lifestyle.

If you’re tired of settling for “almost right” and want a suit that actually works for you, Edward Baumann Clothiers is ready to help. Let’s design a suit that fits your life—seamlessly.

Can Face Masks Be Safe and Stylish?

This year, the most important item in your wardrobe probably isn’t going to be a bespoke custom suit or even a pair of custom men’s jeans. The most important thing you will be wearing for the foreseeable future is a face mask. 

Fortunately, when it comes to face masks, there is a lot more information currently available. You’ll also find, you have a lot more choices when it comes to the kind of mask you wear.

In fact, The Gap worked with medical experts to put together a guide for face mask safety and style that has lots of easy to understand information. We turned to their guide for some basic info to help get you started.

Should You Be Looking for an N95 Face Mask?

No. N95 masks and other medical grade masks are still in short supply and should be left to the medical professionals who truly need them. An N95 mask is designed to help protect them from breathing in dangerous germs. The exhaust port – the little bump you see on the N95 mask or the little vent you might see on other masks – allows you to breathe out freely. It does not filter the air you exhale.  

As Nick Dawson, Co-Founder of the Emergency Design Collective and Former Executive Director of Innovation at Kaiser Permanente, explains, “What we’re really trying to do is keep our breath, our spittle from aerosolizing and potentially infecting someone else.” In other words, avoid masks that have an exhaust port. “They are not as good for what we need right now in this public health emergency.”

What Features Should You Look for in a Face Mask?

Dawson recommends getting something comfortable, particularly if you’re going to need to wear your mask for a long period of time. “If you’re going to be out and about, if you’re going to be interacting, even if you’re going to be exercising with a mask on, your incentive to keep it on is really closely tied to comfort,” he says. 

We haven’t had any requests for custom face masks – yet, but we expect it’s only a matter of time before our customers come into our unique location in Dallas for custom suits, men’s custom jeans and coordinating custom face masks.

What Does a Custom-Made Plaid Suit Say About You?

As you probably know, here at Edward Baumann Clothiers of Dallas, for a custom suit – or any custom garment – the most important element is fit. But once one of our two master tailors has carefully taken your measurements, the exciting process of selecting a fabric for your bespoke custom suit starts. 

There are a lot of factors that will go into selecting the best fabric for your new custom-made suit or sport coat. Will you be wearing the suit in the winter or spring? Is your new tailored suit for a Dallas social event or for work? And, of course, personal style is paramount. 

There are certain occasions that call for a classic black or blue suit, but the rest of the time, the tone your menswear sets is up to you.  

Why We Love Plaid for Custom-Made Suits

Plaid offers a classic feel while still leaving you with a lot of room for self-expression. 

“Technically, plaid isn’t the pattern’s proper name,” Smithsonian Magazine points out. “That honor goes to the word ‘tartan,’ which was first used to describe the individual colors and patterns used to decorate the clothes of different Scottish clans.”

If you’ve ever traveled to Scotland, you can probably understand how each of the ancient clans developed its own unique tartan. Each clan would rely on the weaver in its own remote region. Those weavers would be limited in terms of the colors available to them, which were often made from vegetable dyes, by the local resources. 

“Plaid only replaced tartan once the patterns became popular with British and American textile manufacturers who would recreate fabrics that looked like tartans, but without centuries of symbolic meaning embedded in their clothing,” Smithsonian Magazine says.

“Whatever the color and context, it seems like plaid is one pattern that may never go out of style,” Smithsonian Magazine says.

So, the next time you’re ready for a new custom suit from Dallas’ own Edward Baumann, be sure to ask your wardrobe consultant about the possibilities of plaid.

Cowboy Boots with a Custom-Made Suit? Definitely!

Nothing looks better on the streets of Dallas with a custom-made men’s suit or a flattering pair of custom jeans than a gorgeous pair of handstitched cowboy boots. But if you’re getting down to business or heading out on the town, the town doesn’t have to be Dallas for custom-made cowboy boots to work with your bespoke custom suit. 

Finely made cowboy boots can work in just about any situation, just about anywhere you go. And we’re not the only ones who think that!

Cowboy Boots and Custom Suits?

You would, of course, expect those of us here at Edward Baumann to have a soft spot for cowboy boots, since we make the finest handmade boots available on the market. But we’re not the only ones who think custom-made cowboy boots add a touch of timeless style to custom men’s jeans, tailored slacks or bespoke suits.

It wasn’t long ago that GQ magazine told readers How to Take Cowboy Boots Off the Runway and onto the Street. In the article, GQ Style fashion director Mobolaji Dawodu said, “Cowboy boots go with everything, anything. I’m going to wear mine with jeans.” His choice that day was a chic pair of black Western-style boots made in lizard. 

It turns out that cowboy boots aren’t new to Dawodu. He recalled wearing them when he first arrived in New York City. He believes that cowboy boots are a timeless style statement that never goes out of style. “You might go away from cowboy boots, but cowboy boots never go away,” he said.

A brief look at some of the celebrities who have been known for looking extremely comfortable in their cowboy boots reflects the timeless nature of the style. Everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Burt Reynolds to fashion designer Adam Selman and rapper ASAP Rocky has been seen sporting fashionable, finely made cowboy boots with a range of styles and looks. And from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush, cowboy boots have even walked the hallways of the White House.

In other words, if you’re wondering if a pair of finely crafted custom cowboy boots would look good with the custom-made suit you just ordered from Dallas’ bespoke tailor Edward Baumann, the answer is a resounding yes.
