An occasional series wherein we ask our team of putative formalwear experts to properly pronounce some of the trickiest formalwear terms. (Spoiler: results vary.) Our shame is your gain.
In this episode we attempt to pronounce barré: a pattern of stripes or bands of color extending across the warp in woven and knitted fabrics (as seen in our Barre Pinstripe Tuxedo).
Is there a formalwear term you can’t pronounce? Drop us a line on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and we’ll feature it in a future installment.
