The double breasted suit is a longtime classic that seems to make comeback after comeback. A wardrobe staple with a traditional feel , with accent buttons to give a modern update . Balmain has been a key designer championing the double breasted look, making the angular shape of its jacket a key symbol and trademark aesthetic of the brand. High street/ designer versions of the style have also been seen in the stores. This chocolate brown suit jacket for men is a recent example of what’s on the high street right now. A versatile unisex design as seen on both men and women , the double breasted blazer is definitely a piece which will be staying on trend for seasons to come.

Continuation is a service we offer to increase the time your garments will last in wearable condition. It is a valuable solution to your budget requirements. The ultimate aim is to extend your workwear wear life for a further year with the guaranteed benefits of your inital contract.

This is an excellent solution for companies who may not have the budget for a complete uniform overhaul .

How to get in touch.
You can call us to arrange an appointment to do an on location assessment of your current uniforms. From this appointment we get a view of the condition of the garments and the work they need to repair and revive.

Typical repairs

• Replacement linings
• Replacement sleeves
• New front panels (or general panel replacement)
• Button replacement
• Pocket linings
• Extra cloth, lining and materials purchased for new team members starting

In some cases, you may require single garments replaced but not the whole suit. At this stage, you may want to introduce a new style of suit into the collection.

What are other examples of continuation?
Many companies approach us (where they have bought their suits from elsewhere) and their existing suppliers can’t supply the suits any longer. In this instance, we are able to replicate the cloth of their existing suits and offer to continue making individual garments to the companies specifications for an extra year.

We now offer a “Lifestyle casual” corporate wardrobe collection within the ecouture brand . This brand new option gives companies the chance to order a Melange, styled, service unique to ecouture. With this casual collection we tailor make 1-2 key pieces, e.g a jacket, some tailored trousers. We then source some personally styled, ready to wear garments to complete your brand new corporate casual wardrobe.

This style of wardrobe procurement is perfect for the creative industries or any company that wants to present a more casual yet presentable workwear look.

Branding is an extremely important aspect of creating your companies uniforms.

Branding is an intrinsic part of ecouture’s uniform process. ecouture has the ability to manufacture and source a range of accessories to apply brand colour to your corporate clothing from scarves, cravats, ties and hankies to cufflinks and ladies neck jewellery.

We can provide a range of digitally printed neck scarves with your company logo placed within a border. These are a great statement to make within the companies’ corporate wardrobes Accessory belts (plain coloured), fabric covered belts and buckles along with engraved buckles are all options available to add on for brand enhancement.

Our highly skilled machinists have developed techniques in applying your corporate brand colours into the seams of the garments along with buttonholes, pocket edging, vent inserts and many types of coloured stitch detail. This subtle detail is a fantastic way to add individuality to the companies’ brand.
Our design team are constantly updating in-seam branding methods to provide an inter-departmental visual brand link throughout. The branding can also be changed to comply with a corporate re-brand if required.

Covered buttons, engraved buttons along with a range of brand-specific logoed linings, logoed tags and embroidery can all be applied to the garments to enhance the brand and reduce tax liability on the staff members.

Waist belted details seem to be a huge trend this season, with 60s influence accents all over the runway. A tie belt or buckle detail is a great way to emphasize the waist and really balance out the body shape. Examples of this can be seen at the Off White spring summer 2019 collection shown below. This trend has been seen on the high street with topshop bringing out a range of belted garments. We are beginning to implement this trend within our designs and look out for this trend being adopted within our new collection corporate workwear designs.

Ruffles have been seen on the catwalks from countless seasons , with countless reincarnations of frilly accents. The trend forecasters at ecouture predict that ruffles will play a key part in the future trends of corporate uniform . Looking at the current catwalk trends, taking elements from them and adapting them into pieces suitable for the corporate world.

Here at ecouture we have been going through a lot of changes over the new year. Exciting new roles, an in house photo studio and on location shoots have been some of the happenings going on. Another new addition is that we now have a brand new in house designer on board. Her name is Charlie Hodges and comes from a design and styling background, previously co-founding her own brand who dressed musicians and celebrities.
