Dave: Okay. Let me just pop on to the next outfit then, Sean. The next outfit is kind of a unique fabric, and if you were to be watching a lot of the awards shows where there would be the Emmy’s, or the Grammy’s, or the Oscars, you notice a lot of the celebrities wearing shinier, almost glossier looking fabrics, and that cloth is called mohair, and it’s a really neat fabric that’s really making a comeback in the last few years. And the beauty of the cloth is that when it’s combined with wool, it really gives this beautiful illuminating color and it kind of – I don’t like to use the word sheen – because it reminds us of shiny.
It’s not really shiny – there’s like a depth to it, and it has this illuminating luster that’s very cool. And you’re going to see here how I kind of picked up the stripe with the Helio pencil striped shirt, and then complemented it with a great looking paisley tie. And again, popped the color with the threads and buttons, and then used the premium Marl Horn button, as you can see there. Come in a little closer to the tie and you get a nice look at.
Sean: Yes. That’s a great look there. And you know, I’ve been talking to my clients a lot that these paisley ties are really – the past few years – have been coming back into style, big time. But the nice thing about these new paisleys is they’re updated, and they’re not like the paisley’s back in the 70s that our father’s used to wear, and they’re just a great look, and guys should really get used to wearing them because you get a ton of compliments and once you get a few of them, you really start to enjoy them – and that’s a fantastic looking tie.
Dave: I agree. Also, the nice thing about paisley ties, you know they complement soft checks and simple stripes very well, and it’s a nice – it works well when you’re mixing pattern on pattern like we’re doing here. You know, we’re mixing a striped shirt with a striped suit, and it complements the stripes on stripes very nicely.
Sean: Right. Very good look.
Dave: Also with this look, we also have it available in solid gray and in a lighter gray. It’s the type of fabric that you can wear with an open collar – it does not necessarily have to have a tie – you can wear it open-collar and maybe wear it with a really slick loafer and no socks, for kind of that going out to the club, evening look.
Sean: Right. And I’ll just – on that note – mention the other fabrics. How many fabrics are in that particular collection – just to give people an idea about what we have to offer as far as selection goes?
Dave: As far as the total number of fabrics in the Italian collection, there’s about 80 new Spring/Summer fabrics. And then when I talk about the wool sport coats, there’s about 80 new sport jackets as well.
Sean: That’s great.
Dave: So we have a great selection of Spring/Summer fabrics that we put in the line just for this purpose of updating their Spring wardrobes.
