suMisura Bespoke – The gifts for men that are the shirt and the experience

Gift Sumisura

Offer the fabric in this beautiful box specially designed to hold a shirt cut and the opportunity to come to the workshop so that the recipient and the Master can make the magic of the best Christmas gift. Infallible!
If you can’t come to the atelier, ask us for the App with all the fabrics available, send us the wishlist and we’ll contact you with the details.

Ordering fabrics through the app can seem complicated, given the number of fabrics available and the fact that they come in various patterns and colours. But the app is very user-friendly and intuitive when searching by various criteria for the fabric, colour or pattern you want. You can configure the climate you live in, the type of beard you wear or don’t wear, your style of dress, ending up with the obvious pattern and colour.
What may be lacking in information is actually the quality/price ratio, and that’s where we’re going to help.

We know that the Oxford is an assemblage of warp on the loom, i.e. it has a typical appearance and texture, which is why it has a character and a name. The different interlacing of the threads on the loom give different textures and result in the Oxford, the Twill, the Poplin, the Zephir, the Royalone, etc. Some are used more for classic shirts, others for casual shirts, and there are even jerseys, which are a knitted assembly (another article on the blog with more information).

Each sample has useful information such as the reference, type, yarn composition and washing instructions, but one of the most important is the weight per linear metre. It gives us the closest impression of the thickness of the fabric and its performance.

Very important in this binomial is the wire, its thickness and the type that is referred to, for example: 100/2 or 140/2 or 80/1.

The left of the bar refers to the fineness of the cotton fibre, which allows for a yarn capable of weaving 100 threads per inch. To the left of the bar is the number of threads that go into the loom which, if it says 2, means that two threads have been twisted for greater strength and softness in the final fabric. The higher the number on the left and the one on the right, the finer and rarer the fabric, the more luxurious and obviously more expensive.

Most quality fabrics available on the market, for example poplin, come in 100 or 120/2. If what you find seems “cheap” to you, it’s because it’s cotton with single threads, not twisted and of inferior quality.

Let’s do it!

Download the Fabric Butler app available for Android e iOS, or ask us to send it to you with our code that distinguishes us as your shirtmaker, TC1386.

On the bezel icon you can fine-tune your choice by various criteria.
Make your wishlist and send it to us to finalise your order with model data and/or measurements, if necessary.
We hope this is a good solution for your purchase of classic and sportswear in these times of pandemic and restrictions on socialising.

Even at a distance or at home, don’t neglect your stylish and elegant attitude. Life is there to be lived to the full.

Thank you

Bespoke golf shoes. Discover the creation platform

 

In a unique and innovative initiative, suMisura presents its platform for creating customised golf shoes. Far from the “rough and heavy” shoe, the suMisura golf shoe is positioned in the golf market to serve those who, as well as being lovers of the sport of golf, can’t do without their brand of style, even on the green. In Box Calf leather, Polished Leather, Suede or exotic leathers, customers can choose any classic city shoe base and personalise it 100%, in various combinations of materials and colours so that they can really make a statement: These are MY golf shoes. Not just because you own it, but because you can create a unique, exclusive shoe that sets you apart from the rest thanks to your taste and personal stamp, affirmed in the design and the initials of your name signing an unprecedented and personalised creation. Better than a “limited edition”, the suMisura golf shoe is an authentic and exclusive creation that distinguishes the wearer.

The application is available on our website https://www.sumisura.pt/, under the shoe tab. Click on Mens dress golf and start your creative work. You can buy directly through the website or, if you prefer, book an appointment to visit our atelier for further advice.

 

A bit of history

Just as clubs have evolved from flexible wooden sticks to metal, just as balls have evolved since the 1800s, so golf shoes have undergone drastic transformations since golfers learnt to put spikes or studs in the sole of their shoes. The “Golfers Manual” of 1857 recommended that novices use small nails or spikes placed in the sole for a better grip on the grassy, damp ground, replacing the walking boots that were the first footwear used on the course. In 1891, the first shoes with spikes screwed into the sole were born, but although they were an add-on for players, they were never well received by greenskeepers who accused the nail-like spikes of spoiling the quality of the turf.
In 1906, Spalding took advantage of the failed “saddle oxford” adapted to racket sports, and adapted it to golf, which proved to be a tremendous success in terms of popularity.
In 1990, the upgrade of nails/pitons and their metal fittings, which nevertheless ruined greens and clubhouse floors, was replaced by a plastic alloy, less aggressive and still capable of fulfilling the major objective of providing abrasion and safety for the golfer.

 

The suMisura shoe is at the forefront of this fantastic story of golf, which is gaining more and more fans and players as a healthy, competitive and social game, and which has the prerogative of ending up on the 19th hole socialising and chatting in the clubhouse bar, making friends, doing business or just living life as it should be lived.
