Fairfield Clothiers
“God made man- Tailor made him a gentleman,” words spoken ever so eloquently by Naresh Mansukhani, style consultant and owner of Fairfield Clothiers, the ultimate escape from ordinary clothing for men and women. No one human is the same, therefore, no one garment is to fit an individual as precisely as it would another. And when in search of an item of clothing that may fit as some may say, “like a glove,” the sartorial brilliance of an expert tailor is ever-so-necessary.
There are three components when shopping for a suit or garment, perfection, convenience, and complacency. Determining which of these components will best compliment your shopping need is the most difficult part. Amongst there components, the that requires the most time, attention, and precision, is that of “custom-made” garments. Just as every artists’ masterpiece begins with a canvas, so does the work of art prepared by a master tailor.
The inside of a suit is formed from a canvas, and the quality of that canvas is determined by its material and its length. Though a half canvas is dramatically reduced in price, and serves as a strong foundation for an ideal suit jacket, it is a full canvas that will better suit one’s body. The full canvas takes the individual’s shape, and is enhanced with every wear. The expression of a garment is where the tailoring art is found, and the expression of a suit is in its jacket. A master tailor can create an illusion based on the patterns and shapes of the human body.
David D’Addario, Chairman and CEO of D’Addario Industries, whose aluminum company is the third largest provider of can sheet aluminum in the country, has been a faithful patron and admirer of Mansukhani’s work for over a decade. According to D’Addario, “Naresh offers superb quality, and outstanding attention to detail; down the button holes.” D’Addario’s patronage to Fairfield Clothier is maintained due to his fondness of the stores manageability, fair prices, and large selection of quality materials and outstanding designs. “I happen to love beautiful things, whether it be cars, a sunny day, or clothes,” adds D’Addario, who is a collector of stunning things. “Naresh seduces me with fabrics.” Humbled that a connoisseur of style would be an admirer of his work, Mansukhani’s level of attention and precision is evident in all that he prepares.
The second component of tailoring is “made-to-measure” garments. The concept of this component is to provide patrons with a foundation that can be altered as accurately as possible, while preserving time and saving money. Though in this case, the canvas is not selected and prepared particularly for an individual, a master tailor can do the necessary sartorial alterations to convert a garment into a near perfect fit. Once altered, a made to measure suit is completed with complimentary trimmings. Select and exquisite ties, handkerchiefs, and cuff links intensify the beauty of a suit. Chris Ackley, Fire Chief of the Westport Fire Department, has been a patron of Fairfield Clothiers for nearly nine years. “I’m a white shirt, black pants kind of guy,” Ackley describes himself. “I didn’t trust Naresh’s taste at first, and he once told me to trust him, I did, and now everyone is complimentary of what I wear.”
The last component of tailoring is “off-the-peg.” Perhaps the most cost efficient of the three components, though it may not be the most flattering. A bittersweet experience, “off-the-peg” shopping may very well save an individual quite a bit of money, yet they are not as likely to come across a garment that fits as though it were made for them. “The garment will only be as good as the person who measured you,” says Mansukhani. If the suit was not measured precisely for an individual, the outcome may not be as gratifying once dressed.
According to popular saying, “Eat what you like, and wear what others like.” Ultimately, the most outstanding aspect is appearance. A spectator or a tailor would know what looks finest on an individual, for they are the ones who examine, and determine what suits another most excellent. “Most business is done on sexual charisma,” explained Mansukhani. “Visual presentation is an important factor, if you like the way someone looks; it is easier to work with them.” With that being said, why not look your best?
