For a true gentleman, he is well dressed.

Man's suit

Suits are essential.

London is the case. Shanghai and Beijing are like this. Even in the second tier cities in China, this is a truth.

When I was in London earlier, I was lucky enough to work for the Alfred Dunhill brand, and I was able to meet several great tailors.

They referred to my Fulham and High Street Old Hat (one of my favorite London stores) bought 1920 and 1930s custom tailored suits, made me a few sets of super suits.

Speaking of this ancient shop, it was a must when I was in London. The shopkeeper, Mr. David Saxby, is a very conservative person. His presence is also one of the reasons why shops are attractive.

Over the years, I learned all the details of upgrading a suit to art, and I often miss this old friend when I live in Shanghai.

In terms of fabric use, I mostly choose Dormeuil (Multi -) global tycoon fabric tycoon.

As early as 1890, the first time Dormeuil stepped onto China's territory was a pioneer in the luxury industry.

Two years ago, it opened an office area in Shanghai and appointed Pierre Dupond, a graceful and charming young gentleman from France, who was stationed in Shanghai in the Greater China and South Asia.

In my mind, Pierre is still the best representative of the 170 year old French brand (founded in 1842, a family from northern France).

Now in China, more and more consumers realize that "quality is the top", and eager to get high.

Enjoy.

Not only do they have pure wool and "super" values, the number of yarns per square inch of wool, also known as "count", the bigger the material, the better the material.

For experts, super150, super180 and super200 are interested in the number of them, and precious rare fiber varieties are also on their list of desires.

Seeing this trend, Dormeuil recently launched the "Vanquish II" unique special limited series in China, each containing 8 sets of designs.

The series has 14 different fabrics. One is embedded in the 18K gold line and the other is embedded in platinum. Pierre told me that at the Beijing launch party, the local celebrities were very fond of this limited series and sold very well.

You know, a suit in Vanquish II sells for up to 35000 euros! This is not a small number.

This year, Dormeuil continues to search for inspiration in Chinese culture. It will be cut off and combined with Feng Shui. A "160 branches" jade series will be landed in Beijing! Rare jade is crushed into the fabric, so that the whole material will be covered with jade granules. The clothes made by special work order will symbolizes that the wearer will get good luck.

Jade is considered to be a gem from dreams in China. As a "dream maker", I may have to consider whether or not to have a jacket made of this fabric. According to the latest research, jade has the remarkable function of psychotherapy, which can eliminate the negative energy while enhancing the positive energy of human beings.

The Chinese believe in this amazing and expensive stone, which can bring wealth and stay away from hunger.

In Shanghai, there is a flea market which only deals with jade. It opens every Friday.

I sometimes go to this market to see jade lovers and businessmen struggling to find, looking for valuable rare jade, observing pparency to determine their status, and I can always be attracted by such a situation.

I have to admit that in the 6 years of this fascinating country, I gradually accepted what I saw and heard in my daily life and traditional customs, and I had a more sensible understanding of the market patterns with strong "Chinese style" brand.
