Truly. Deeply. What is it we do? Classic menswear and shoes. There\u2019s probably no other business in the world where so few variables and so few colors can produce so many different results.<\/p>\n<p>As ALKON Group, we have been doing this for 20 years. And in all this time, we\u2019ve never run out of ideas, and we\u2019ve never released a dull collection. Why? Let\u2019s take two simple examples: the jacket and the shoe \u2014objects we wear almost every day, whether out of necessity or joy. No, we don\u2019t sell red suits or purple shoes (at least not yet). And we won\u2019t even get into linings, buttons, or fabrics \u2014our range is endless. What we do is work within the framework of \u201cclassic,\u201d pushing boundaries in every direction. We play with dozens of parameters and, in doing so, redefine high style every season. Let us show you. You may never look at your own wardrobe the same again. Maybe you will retire some of your products.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Collar: Width, curve, placement and shape of the notch, termination point\u2014all of which influence the waistline.<br \/>\n\u25cf Shoulders: Shape, stitching technique, pitch, slope, padding thickness, padding contour.<br \/>\n\u25cf Sleeves: Attachment style, armhole depth, drape, taper, opening circumference.<br \/>\n\u25cf Buttonholes: Open or closed, number of working buttons, softness, delicacy, spacing.<br \/>\n\u25cf Pockets: Shape and angle of the breast pocket, flap dimensions, corner curvature.<br \/>\n\u25cf Interfacing: Whether a canvas is used, material, weight, stiffness or softness, climate compatibility, and fabric match.<br \/>\n\u25cf Stitching: Thread type, thickness, color, edge distance, density.<\/p>\n<p>Together, these roughly 50 parameters create a stance, a presence, an expression. And that expression introduces you to the world in the most silent, sophisticated way possible. For us, the perfect jacket is all about balance and harmony. This can only be achieved with about 50 parameters we counted. And the attention we give to detail is what sets us apart in bold, unmistakable lines.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no different with shoes. Under our eight-store umbrella, you\u2019ll find footwear crafted using a variety of world-class techniques: Blake, Goodyear, Goodyear Welted, Norvegese, Bolognese, Tubular and more. We offer four different fitting standards\u2014E, F, G, and H\u2014to ensure each customer finds their perfect fit. And for those seeking something truly unique, we customize lining leathers, soles, laces, stitching, piping, and color combinations. We proudly bring exclusive models to Istanbul and Ankara\u2014pieces you won\u2019t find even in the brand\u2019s own flagship stores abroad.<\/p>\n<p>These are things we do because of the nature of our work. Some things go beyond the \u201cnature of our business\u201d\u2014and we love them all the more for it. And Then There\u2019s the Madness We Love Most&#8230; Here are just a few of the bold, brilliant creations we\u2019ve delivered in recent years:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf An electric bicycle with crocodile leather bodywork<br \/>\n\u25cf Crocodile &amp; sterling silver chess set<br \/>\n\u25cf Crocodile &amp; sterling silver backgammon board<br \/>\n\u25cf Crocodile &amp; Venezia leather cigar accessories<br \/>\n\u25cf Carbon and rubber finish crocodile leather goods<br \/>\n\u25cf Gold and diamond-buckled crocodile leather belts<br \/>\n\u25cf Sweatsuits in silk, cashmere &amp; crocodile<br \/>\n\u25cf Super 250\u2019s suits, 100% vicu\u00f1a jackets, coats, and overcoats<br \/>\n\u25cf Sunglasses with solid 18K gold frames<br \/>\n\u25cf Crocodile leather pillowcases<br \/>\n\u25cf 100% eiderdown duvets<br \/>\n\u25cf 3000 thread count bed linen sets<br \/>\n\u25cf 340\/4 woven dress shirts<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s to many more decades together.
