The word ‘personalization’ has been etched into everything that we see, eat or touch; From Netflix recommendations for your weekend to tailored gifts just for your beau. The gateway through personalization allows individuals to connect to objects around them. The personal connection to it further reminds them of the process of making a purchase and the experience of ownership. Breathing your identity into a non-living object makes it better because it is about ‘you’.
First appearing on coins as early as 350 BC, monogramming was taken up by Greek cities that issued coins with the first two letters of a city’s name. Later on adopted by artists and craftsmen to help identify and mark their work as their own. Monogramming took off as an essential style statement when it was used by monarchies as part of an insignia of the names of royal families.
From royal parlors to war rooms, aiding in government currency and providing style statements and strong personality to art & creativity, monograms have come a long way to being a unique style statement, a reflection of one’s attention to detail today; whether on clothing like dress shirts, formal trousers or jeans pants for men, or jewelry and other everyday items. For us, a monogram on custom-made chinos for men or men’s cargo pants or any other style of trousers- it is the finishing touch of perfect personalization.
When you find yourself parading around the aisles of a retail store purchasing a pair of trousers, they are most probably shoved to the corner of your wardrobe later, decently folded at max. But, once your outfit is monogrammed, it is automatically bumped to the VIP hanger section, neatly ironed, carefully placed, and on most occasions even dry-cleaned. While your trousers are living their life, king-size, they give you the ability to look and feel great in better comfort & unique style.
Today, when fashion is available at the mere click of a button with everyone walking around in the same outfit, leaning back to forgotten ‘monograms’ assert a speck of something being more bespoke. At The Pant Project, we pride ourselves on our ability to pay attention to detail; something as subtle as your initials on a pocket can be impactful when noticed by those around you.
