Lin Weiwei and Wang Yan, two bad students, looked at each other with big eyes... No, Lin Weiwei was a bad student, and Mr. Wang was just not very good at listening, speaking, reading and writing in English.
Fortunately, the beautiful young woman can work part-time as a translator.
"Is this gentleman going to order a suit? Please come over here. Mr. Palestra will measure you."
Wang Yan couldn't help but look at Lin Weiwei and asked: What's going on? Why do you suddenly want to customize a suit for me
Yes, this is a very classy-looking suit store, with a room full of suits of various styles, as well as a small selection of shirts and ties, plus a few pairs of shoes, and that's all.
Lin Weiwei didn't give an explanation until now.
"Star City Normal University is different from our art colleges. If there is no guarantee, there will be conferences, social lectures and so on. When you go to university, I have nothing to give you. I will customize a suit for you. I hope you will be happy wherever you go. You can become the brightest star at any banquet or reception.”
When Lin Weiwei said this, she was no longer as straightforward and bold as before. Her speech rate slowed down more than a beat, so she seemed more sincere and gentle.
Wang Yan suddenly realized.
No wonder you didn't say a word about it after I saved you last time. Are your feelings waiting here? !
You woman... you have a strange ability to hide things in your heart...
Of course Wang Yan was very moved, but he felt it was unnecessary. Why should we be so awkward with friends
If I want to buy a suit, there are many high-end luxury ready-to-wear brands out there. If it’s a little more casual, it might be more suitable for me, so why bother with such a big deal.
Wang Yanzheng felt that it was a bit of a waste of time, but the store manager's beautiful woman gave him an assist, and he realized what real mobilization was.
"Mr. Palestra is our most trustworthy gold medal tailor in Kicon. He came here temporarily from Switzerland and has to rush back to Naples the day after tomorrow. So sir, your suit will complete the initial process in Naples. Please come back in the middle of next month for the first step." The second adjustment will be carried out during the National Day holiday. Before the end of October, you can have your high-end K50."
Wang Yan's eyes widened.
That is to say, I have to buy this suit three times for a suit that I will probably not wear once a year
Wang Yan is no longer a novice in luxury goods consumption, so he can naturally understand that the more expensive this type of consumption is, the more expensive it is.
She frowned and glared at Lin Weiwei: "What are you doing? Prodigal child, where did you get so much money?"
"My parents gave it to me!" Lin Weiwei's nonchalant and prodigal look was very offensive. "My brother also sponsored part of it, and he also made an appointment for the master. If you want to thank him, just thank him."
Wang Yan was at his wits end.
Neither emotion nor reason can stop others from expressing gratitude.
Wang Yan was not short of money, but he had to consider the feelings of Lin Weiwei, Lin Baizhou, and even Lin's father and mother - if they knew the specific situation.
You want to show your integrity and refuse to accept anything. Doesn't it feel uncomfortable for someone who owes you such a big favor and you can't express it
As a human being, sometimes you have to learn to accept the kindness of others appropriately.
Yes, let’s do it.
The process of measuring the body is more complicated than expected. The shoulders, waist, hips and legs are only the most basic data. The elbows, wrists, neck and even the stretching angle of the arms are all within the measurement range.
The store manager explained: "Our Kicon is hand-made using the Made To Measure customization process. The shoulders are in the classic Naples style, with no or thin shoulder pads.
Therefore, higher requirements will be placed on the cutting process. While ensuring the natural and round lines, it should be as convenient as possible for your movements, so that no matter how you raise your arms, the suit can fit your body. "
Lin Weiwei complained at the right time: "That kind of suit with a big lump sticking out of the shoulder when you raise your hand is so ugly that you can't even look at it... But you seem to have been growing taller. When the final styling is done on November 1, let the master give it to you." You relax a little 2 millimeters."
Wang Yan couldn't help but glare at her: "You know I'm growing, why do you get me a custom-made suit?"
Lin Weiwei raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly.
"What do you know? Naples-style cuffs are shorter and tighter than normal suits. As long as your shoulder width does not change much, even if your arms are two centimeters longer, it will be fine. Otherwise, why would I choose this company
There is an orthodox suit for you to work around for a year or two, and then you can go to Savile Row in the UK to customize it yourself. I will only care about you this time. Who cares what happens to you in the future! "
Wang Yan was speechless.
In fact, he will not grow any longer. The growth brought about by the attribute modifier (excellent) has basically ended. Wang Yan's height will be fixed at 178 centimeters for the time being. In terms of body shape, there will be no change unless he performs muscle-building exercises. Extremely large.
The next time I develop will be the day I buy the [Attribute Modifier (Genius)], who knows when that will be.
Therefore, this gift should be useful for a long time.
Very thoughtful.
…
After measuring the hard data, Mr. Palestra asked Wang Yan to put on the template suit, move his body freely, constantly observe and summarize, and then communicate with him.
It can be said that the process of customizing high-end luxury suits is far more complicated than Wang Yan imagined.
Of course, it may also be because master-level tailors strive for excellence far more than ordinary masters.
When it comes to determining the version, it’s much simpler.
Lin Weiwei actually didn't know much about suits, and Wang Yan was even more confused, so she simply left it to Mr. Palestra.
The advice given by the other party is-
"Mr. Wang has the unique temperament of an oriental boy, and his figure is as outstanding as a top model. He is very suitable for the free and romantic style of Italian suits."
"Given that Mr. Wang is not very old, occasions that require him to wear formal attire will not be too serious, so I thought that maybe he doesn't need to be so formal, elegant and rigorous."
"Choose a slightly brighter color and make a waist-cinching single buckle. It should be a better choice."
OK, that's it.
Wang Yan and Lin Weiwei both agreed, so they went to choose fabrics.
The store manager's beautiful young woman introduces each product one by one, with gentleness and gentleness, but the murderous intention is fully present.
"For haute couture suits, there are only three fabrics in the world - Holland Sherry, Loro Piana and Scabal."
“Our Baby Cashmere comes from Scabal, and our Vicua comes from Loro Piana.”
"Child cashmere is characterized by being very soft and delicate, with a fiber fineness of only 13 microns. A kid can only be shorn once in its life. At the same time, each kid can only produce less than 1 tael of cashmere."
"The vicuña is a small alpaca, belonging to the family Vicinidae and the alpaca family. This endangered creature only grows in the Andes Mountains. It is now a first-level protected animal in Peru. The fiber fineness is even more amazing - 12 microns."
"In order to obtain this precious fiber, we collect down in the most natural way - waiting for the vicuñas to shed their down naturally without any human intervention."
“Through dehairing and processing, each vicuña only produces about 120 grams of usable fiber every two years, and it takes about 30 vicuñas to make a suit. You can imagine the use of this kind of fabric. Is it rare?”
Wang Yan looked at Lin Weiwei with a pale face, and endured and endured, and endured and endured...
In the end, I still couldn't hold it back.
"You loser bitch, how much did you spend on this suit?!"
Lin Weiwei curled her lips and put her hands on her hips, like a big teapot, with an amazing momentum.
"My sister's life is worth three hundred thousand, isn't it expensive?!"
⊙▽⊙! ! !
It’s not expensive for your sister!
Damn it, you really spent a lot of money...
Wang Yan was really panicked.
If Brother Fugui spends 300,000 yuan to make a suit, it would be too simple and he wouldn't blink an eye. How big of a deal would it be? !
But Lin Weiwei sent... so scary!
"Save it now! Swipe my card later."
Young Master Wang showed his masculine charm at the right time, his tone was unquestionable, and his expression was as solid as a solid volcanic rock.
Lin Weiwei didn't talk nonsense, raised her eyebrows at Wang Yan and smiled, then turned to wink at the beautiful young woman store manager.
The beautiful young woman store manager understood and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, Ms. Lin has paid the full price, maybe you should learn to accept it. A girl's heart cannot be let down easily, you are a gentleman!"
I'm a gentleman!
Wang Yan felt that he was really hurting himself, and his brain ached sharply.
I should accept my thanks, but how can I feel at ease when you silently create such a big scene
Well, I can’t afford to offend you, can I file a complaint
I picked up my cell phone and wanted to call Liu Li.
As a result, Lin Weiwei sneered and hugged her chest with both hands: "Yo? Do you want to ask for instructions and report?"
"What's wrong?"
"Then you give it a try... Anyway, sister and Xiao Liuli have already been vaccinated."
Wang Yanyi frowned: "Does Sanwan know?"
"Do I look like such a light-hearted person? I would secretly give my best friend and boyfriend a suit worth RMB 300,000? Even for a special reason?" Lin Weiwei was very dissatisfied and felt underestimated.
Now, it was the young woman store manager who was confused.
What unfolds
Why is the relationship so messed up? !
Wang Yan was not confused, he stared at Lin Weiwei closely and raised the phone to his ear.
As a result, Liu Li didn't answer the phone.
It's normal for her to mute her cell phone and put it in her bag when she dances.
Wang Yan was not in a hurry, thinking calmly.
First of all, it is actually certain that Lin Weiwei is telling the truth. She is not the kind of person who is neither serious nor serious, and her emotional intelligence is far beyond the normal level of a 20-year-old girl.
So she said that Liu Li knew, then Liu Li must know. The reason why she didn't tell her was probably because she wanted Lin Weiwei to decide how to deliver the surprise.
Sha Sanwan has always been like this, not interfering with any decisions of those around him and being very casual.
Next, there is the question of whether to accept it or not.
After thinking about it again and again, Wang Yan sighed silently and decided to keep it.
Lin Weiwei was definitely not as relaxed as she showed in giving this gift. Lin Baizhou's outfit, including watches, did not exceed 150,000 yuan. The brother and sister did have a car and a house, but they were definitely not as rich in cash as she was.
Because of this, it should be accepted.
They tried their best to think about how to express their gratitude, and came up with such a fresh and refined way. They spent a lot of time to hire a gold medal tailor, and they had to give this face no matter what.
"Okay, I'm afraid of you, I will wear it more often in the future."
Wang Yan sighed and reluctantly agreed.
Of course, her expression was helpless, but she neither said thank you nor complained. She only expressed that she would take the gift seriously, which instantly made Lin Weiwei, who was a little unhappy, smile.
"Okay! Then you cooperate obediently. When you need to come to the Imperial Capital for adjustments, you must come over as soon as possible!"
"OK OK, I can't let your thoughts go to waste. I will cooperate well."
Wang Yan raised his hands in surrender.
Upon seeing this, the store manager's aunt smiled and took the next step - confirming the shirt style with Wang Yan.
Wang Yan looked at Lin Weiwei suspiciously, but Ping Zhi shook his head violently.
The store manager smiled and said: "What you ordered is K50. We will give you two handmade shirts, a tie, and a bottle of peripheral perfume. Now, please let me introduce you to these inconspicuous little gifts."
Wang Yan nodded and listened carefully.
“We produce about 200 shirts every day, and each piece goes through 22 processes and is sewn by hand.
We use Australia's highest grade Pintada mother-of-pearl material for shirt buttons.
The unique design of the three-piece collar and back will never shrink. "
"The tie is also purely handmade, with a 1.5-meter-long thread, stitched together in one go."
"As for perfume, we are not professional, but the special preparation of two Kicon-specific perfumes in the perfume capital is enough to ensure quality, what do you think?"
Wang Yan: "..."
I don’t know anything and I don’t want to say anything. It’s all over if you guys are awesome.
Pingzhi, Pingzhi, this gift you gave me is really cool!
After the store manager introduced the gifts, he started selling again.
"Mr. Wang, you still need a pair of shoes, orthodox leather shoes that suit your temperament and match this suit. Our family hand-makes about 3,000 pairs of leather shoes every year, and they are completely customized according to your foot shape and walking habits... "
"Stop talking and buy it!"
Wang Yan was afraid that Lin Weiwei would take care of all the shoes again, so he quickly interrupted the other party and swiped his card to get in the car.
Choose the upper leather, choose the style, determine the heel height...
After a while of busy work, Wang Yan gained a little more insight - the soles of Kicon's shoes are not one-piece rubber, but filled with top-notch Italian oak chips.
It may not be worth much, but the details are really attentive.
Then, natural plant dyes are used for coloring, which is purely hand-painted, so some traces of infection will be left in the shoes.
Moreover, this kind of shoes cannot be walked on bad road conditions for a long time, which will affect the service life.
How much does a pair cost
It ranges from 8,000 to 30,000.
Wang Yan directly ordered two pairs of shoes, a pair of crocodile leather Oxford brogues and a pair of bison leather plain Oxford three-legged shoes.
Oxford is the style, brogue is the pattern, three-joint is the shape, and the degree of formality is different.
The former is suitable for daily matching with suits and casual clothes, and can match certain styles of jeans, while the latter is the most orthodox daytime dress.
A small pair of shoes has a lot of mystery in the social culture of the upper class.
Wang Yan didn't think he had any use for this knowledge at first. He just treated it as a joke and relied on his better and better self-cultivation to maintain a listening attitude.
But later, when I heard that many state banquets fully respect the customs of China and the West, my mentality completely corrected.
There are actually no aristocrats in the country, but there is also an upper class.
The loss of ancient etiquette has left a missing corner in social etiquette, which can only be filled by Western etiquette.
Etiquette is etiquette, etiquette is etiquette. Simply shaking hands is not etiquette. The matching dress, greeting, greeting, and asking to sit down... all together are called etiquette.
It may seem cumbersome, but it is the basis for equality, mutual trust, communication and the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Being generous and decent is both an internal attitude and everything external.
The beautiful young woman store manager is very cultured and knowledgeable, and the relevant content is fascinating and eloquent.
Wang Yan was taught another lesson inexplicably, but he didn't feel there was anything wrong with it, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.
But when he listened carefully and thought along with it, Lin Weiwei was attracted by the young man's profile, and suddenly found the feeling of observing him in the library that day.
No, it feels better than that day.
In concentration, there is an extra sense of calmness, like a pool of turquoise water, clear on the surface and deep on the inside.
Tsk, he’s getting more handsome every day, he’s such a monster...
Will God’s pet dog come down to earth
Roaring dog? !
Lin Weiwei was almost amused by her own imagination, but the old-fashioned little old man who had been paying attention to Wang Yan for a long time, the master tailor Palestra, suddenly overturned all the previous assumptions, strode to the fabric area, pulled out a special piece of fabric, and raised his voice He shouted a few words in Italian to the beautiful young woman.
Translated, it probably means: "Give him this instead, that kid deserves it!"
The beautiful young woman was shocked and asked in amazement: "Are you sure? There are only less than 5 sets of this fabric left, and there is only one set like this in China. Aren't you planning to keep it for a certain star?"
Master Palestra waved his hand and said without doubt: "Just give it to him! Make a free daily suit. I think this inspiration comes so wonderfully, that's it!"
The beautiful young woman shrugged in a European style and turned back to confirm with Wang Yan.
"Mr. Wang, Master Palestra is willing to replace it with a more rare fabric for you. Are you willing?"
Wang Yan frowned and planned to refuse.
But the young woman store manager jumped in and added: "Lady, you don't need to spend an extra penny. You just need to make sure whether you like that piece of fabric."
"Why?" Wang Yan was puzzled.
The young store manager explained patiently.
"In fact, we don't make too many pieces of each piece of Kicon fabric. We can cut out up to 25 suits. It is considered a global limited edition in a sense."
"These fabrics have different prices, but what determines their value is not just the material, pattern, weaving process or other technical reasons."
"There are 25 sets of fabrics in total. Where it is used, how many suits are sold to the outside world, and how many pieces are left will all affect its price."
"The price that Master Palestra wants to replace for you is not much higher than the one you picked before. The reason why it is precious is... it is the only set in the country."
When Lin Weiwei heard the only two words, she didn't even look at the piece of fabric, and immediately said: "Change! Woah woah, listen to the master!"
Then he asked the store manager with bright eyes: "Is the rest going to be used for clothing exhibitions and collections?"
The young woman smiled and said nothing.
Wang Yan sighed, shook his head, and walked towards Master Palestra.
When you unfold it, that piece of fabric is... amazing.
The color is probably a slightly fluorescent off-white or pearl white. In fact, the material itself is not mixed with gold powder or diamond powder. It is just because of its delicate texture that it reflects a flowing luster under the light.
In the off-white center, every few dozen centimeters, there is a sky blue stripe.
The stripes are different from the normal shallow short stripes. They are about 10 centimeters wide and appear very far apart. They are brightly colored and complement the background.
Wang Yan couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the whole piece of material. He couldn't even imagine how to cut such material.
What kind of stunning design will the final suit be
The combination of it and top tailoring is really... worth any level of expectation!
Change, must change, this is it!
