Mens suits are some of the most important formal basic wear in men's wardrobe and every man should have at least one suit in their closets. In any man's life there will always be a few occasions when they will need to dress formally, such as attending a wedding, a ceremony or a job interview where one cannot do without a proper suit. Mens suits project a man's confidence and business power as well as stylish masculinity during formal occasions. Thus, it is very important to choose the right suit for your wardrobe and your own style. If you are more into the leather jackets than suits it is important to note that even though leather jackets can have a slightly formal look in some cases they cannot replace the suit jackets in most situations.

When choosing a suit you have the choice of either having your suits tailored or getting it off-rack. Tailored mens suits are individualized and especially customized to fit best for each individual different body frame. All this is going to cost a lot more, of course, but you will also feel the much better quality. Thus, it is quite important to know the basics concerning the making of a suit so that it looks best on you. The off-rack suits on the other hand, are available when you need them and are designed with the latest trend in mind. You need to keep in mind however that they might not be able to fit you as perfectly since they are produced based on the frame of an average man. Mass-produced off-rack mens suits do not generally match in quality against individualized tailored suits and that is why these suits are usually not so expensive as compared to a tailored suit.

Leather jackets are generally the choice of men who want to maintain an slightly formal business look. The leather jackets are considered to be quite popular and comfortable to wear, but it should be noted that on special occasions when formal wear is required one cannot present himself wearing a leather jacket instead of a suit jacket.

One of the best brands designing mens suits is Ben Sherman. Ben Sherman is a British clothing manufacturing company that produces suits, shirts, shoes and other clothing items and accessories. Ben Sherman clothing generally feature the roundel and colors of the British Royal Air Force, also known as the mod target. Recently, Ben Sherman suits are identified with unusual and complex designs, and the so-called Carnaby-style.

The Ben Sherman company was founded in 1963 by Arthur Bernard Sugarman who was the son of a Jewish salesman. He immigrated to the United States and married the daughter of a Californian clothes producer. Later he bough his own clothing factory and his brand became famous for being sported by several well-known musicians and singers. This was the first company that made the famous Oxford button-down shirt that became staple for mods, skinheads and suedeheads. Today, the brand is the fourth largest men's wear brand in the United Kingdom and represents the main competition for Ted Baker; another UK based fashion company. For the new generation Ben Sherman mens suits represent the epitome of style and attitude.

My Manor is the Ben Sherman design theme for Autumn Winter 2007 and it about the British gentry meeting small time gangster attitude. The mens suits represent a new influential look inspired from the contrast of the inner city neighborhood grit and the aristocratic town house sophistication.
