Seize sur Vingt in Details Magazine - May 2008




We’re not one to tout our own tux, but take a look at page 145 of the new Details: Our Rex Harrison tuxedo shirt is featured with Mr. Tom Ford’s bowtie and looking pretty sharp if we do say so ourselves. Wedding season in full swing, and we do special orders!

New Spring/Summer Arrivals

To celebrate Earth Day, we suggest wearing new clothing. Namely, a fresh looking spring suit from Troglodyte Homunculus or button down shirt from Seize sur Vingt. Think about it: the nicer your clothes look, the happier people will be to see you, and the happier people are, the less likely they will be to litter. Consider the Earth celebrated (and possibly even saved). We’re just saying…

2004 Caterham Superlight R

Come by GROUPE 16sur20 to take a look at the latest installment to our ever-revolving auto show. An evolution of our trademark piece the Lotus, the Caterham looks like a dune buggy and drives like a racecar. With its Aztec Orange body paint, and ultra lightweight construction, this baby looks like our hearts feel: bright, breezy, and ready for spring. So if you need a shot in the proverbial arm, stop by 267 Elizabeth and we guarantee you’ll feel better.

New Spring/Summer 2008 Custom Swatches

Rejoice! Seize sur Vingt’s proprietary shirtings are now available for viewing online. If you’re a returning customer with no changes to be made to the pattern, you can browse through our collection and place an order on the phone without ever having to set foot on Elizabeth Street (or in NYC for that matter). Alternatively, if you really like us and want to come hang out, you can peep the collection ahead of time so that you can spend more time in the garden and less time poring over swatches.

One caveat: as we all know by now, most monitors have differences in color representation, so keep that in mind if you’re picky about shades!

Have fun!

He may be forever be emblazoned in all of our hearts and minds as the lovable Ferris Bueller, but Matthew Broderick cleans up quite well in one of our dress shirts.

All in a days work: the story behind the shoes

Did you know that it takes approximately 130 people to make a single pair of precisely handcrafted Alfred Sargent & Sons shoes? Our Stylist, Niki, recently had the pleasure of visiting the handmade shoe factory to get a glimpse of the secret skills involved in turning a piece of raw leather into a fine shoe. From selecting the leather to clicking, then gimping, brogueing, tanning, lining, and then finishing; it’s a complicated process, but somebody has do it!
Check out some of the photos from her tour of the factory in Northamptonshire England.
