Summer 2010 Flair F2
I have recently returned from a meeting with Flair F2, one of my suit suppliers. Being a boutique store I’m always looking to offer my customer that little bit extra in exclusivity with the product they purchase from ZM.
To achieve this orders must be placed 10-12 months in advanced giving the supplier enough lead time to make and deliver the garments in store.
Flair F2 suits are stylish, young and ahead of fashion. They offer many styles and cuts but for my type of business we are finding that slim cuts, even for the bigger guy are still very popular going forward into Summer 2010.
I have decided to go with a Wild / Jazz cut, which is a 2 button, Side Vent Jacket with a flat front trouser. The trouser is a slim trouser but can be worn by any shape gentlemen.
Flair F2 have spent a lot of time working on small details on the jacket and trousers. They have made some nice trendy changes to the Summer 2010 Suit range.
-
- Piano Face Lining
-
- Fabric in Waist that can be let out to make the Trousers bigger
-
- Internal Coin Pocket
- A trendy Piano Lining with two-tone colour. The lining matches the purple hanger giving Flair F2 its own identity when you see it in store. Also F2 products are only available in Independent stores. You will not see them in department stores.
- 3 Inches of extra fabric to be potentially let out in the waist. We have a great tailor who can do this for you if required.
- Internal Coin Pocket, this is to avoid weighing your trousers down with too many coins in your side pockets and making them baggy.
The fabrics I have chosen to be put into the store are all Super 100′s +. They are from 2 separate mills;
- Zignone / Biella Italy
- Lanificio Di Tollegno
While I was there I saw a range of Cotton Trousers. I have selected a range of strips and light weight fabrics that you can wear to work but also wear on the weekend. All the fabrics are
- Luxury soft cotton
- Machine washable
- Slim Cut
- Flat Front Pockets
- Outside top stitch down the trouser leg
- Back pocket flap
Back Flap Pocket
I have selected a range of Beige linen trousers for those hot summer months. Linen trousers are great for going out casually with a shirt left out. “A Great look”.
Flair F2 Summer Collection will be in store September / October 2010.
