How to choose your wedding suit or morning coat
Dear reader,
Getting married is probably the only day when everyone looks at you without asking your permission.
And no, there is no escape possible.
That's why the outfit you wear that day can't be just another one. It must be the outfit that, years later, will continue to speak to you even when you no longer remember what you said at the banquet.
I always say it: you're not dressing up that day. You're dressing up as yourself.
Let me tell you a story: A while back, a groom came to the workshop, nervous, with a full schedule, and the expression of someone who wants to quickly resolve something that shouldn't be resolved quickly. " I want a classic, uncomplicated morning coat ," he said.
And it sounded convincing, until we started talking. About her wedding in the south, the time of the ceremony, the type of light, the color of her bouquet.
And, as always, the suit appeared on its own. Rather than choosing it, we discovered it.
Because a good wedding suit isn't imposed. It's found , like finding the right tone in a song.
1. The pattern speaks about you
The pattern is the invisible soul of the suit. And no two are alike.
At Bund, we design each pattern from scratch, because your back, your shoulders, and the way you move don't belong to any standard.
The shoulder line defines your authority.
The opening of the flap reveals your character.
The length of the jacket determines your balance.
The right pattern doesn't just look good: it translates you .
And on your wedding day, it's best to speak precisely.
2. The fabric: your best ally or your worst enemy
Getting married at midday under the Andalusian sun wearing a heavy cloth is a torture that not even Zeus would have wished on his enemies.
Therefore, before talking about colors, we must talk about weights and composition .
A cool Super 120s or 130s yarn will give you lightness and drape.
A wool or mohair cooler will maintain the structure even in the heat.
And if the countryside is your thing, a Prince of Wales or herringbone in stone tones can transform you into a character from another time.
The perfect fabric doesn't seek to stand out: it seeks to last.
And endure the hugs, the dances, and the toasts of an unrepeatable day.
3. Measurements: where the suit stops being fabric and starts being yours
Measures are not taken, they are interpreted .
Therefore, when we measure, we observe.
The width of your back when breathing.
The natural fall of the arm.
The tilt of your chest when you laugh.
Every adjustment, from the fit to the sleeve length, from the crossover to the lapel width, has a purpose.
The goal isn't to make the suit fit you well: it's to make it look like it was born with you .
On your wedding day, there's no room for improvisation: every line, every angle, and every button is there to tell a story of control without rigidity.
4. Details: The Secret Language of the Elegant Man
Details are the punctuation of your style.
A hand-stitched Milanese buttonhole.
A custom lining in natural silk.
Discreet initials on the inside of the vest.
Nothing screams. Everything whispers.
And that whisper, on a day where everything is noise, is an act of distinction.
Choose natural horn buttons, a lightly structured shoulder, and welt pockets to maintain a clean line.
And please avoid shine : elegance is measured in matte.
5. The final fitting: where everything fits (including you)
The final test is not technical: it is emotional.
There we no longer adjust seams, but perceptions.
You look in the mirror and suddenly it happens: the suit is no longer a suit.
It's you, but in the final version.
Fitting does not seek to correct, it seeks to confirm.
Confirm that the shoulder falls naturally.
That the length of the pants touches the shoe just enough.
That the flap embraces without invading.
And that, finally, you recognize yourself.
You won't be wearing a new suit that day.
You are going to debut a new version of yourself .
And many years from now, when you open your closet and see it hanging, you'll remember it all without saying a word.
Because a Bund suit, like good memories, never goes out of style.
See you at the altar.
