DressMonkey Velvet

Velvet. Velvets have come back in a big way in the last five years, and it’s hard to guess why they ever left. Our top notch velvets are sleek and soft. Women are often excellent judges of velvet quality since it turns up on so much of their clothing and accessories. They’ll want to touch your jacket, so let them. Velvet offers warmth and a bit of insulation for chill days, but it really shines under late night lighting. Peak lapels and slant pockets might be the best sartorial choices, as well as a bold lining to really set off the dynamic drape of the fabric.

Origin of the Species

Welcome to the official weblog of DressMonkey, chronicling the adventures of two young ex-corporate monkeys living in China and starting a men's custom clothing company from scratch. We’re changing the idea of “brand” by putting the power of creating a final product in the hands of our customers. We’re also changing the idea of “fashion” by offering an inexpensive, no-frills alternative to the label-conscious circus world in which we are forced to shop for clothes. Our flagship product is the man’s blazer, available this coming fall season. Join us as we trade in our tees and hoodies of college for the sweet seersucker of manhood. Established 2006 in Shanghai.
