If there is a first rule to suits is that fit is everything. Really, we know that it isn’t everything, but if a suit doesn’t fit on your body in the appropriate way, what’s the point? Yet at the same time a well-fitted suit that isn’t appropriate for the event can be an issue. Wedding suits are different to business suits, and there are countless variations on each of these and other suits. But if you’re going to get a suit, which is a sizable investment, then get a good fit so the investment isn’t wasted.
Your shoulders should fit exactly into the shoulder seam of your suit. Padding or anything underneath will ruin the whole effect. If you do insist on should pads, and they do suit a few individuals, they should be part of the suit.
Unlike more modern styles of clothing, which tend to hang off the hips, any suit pants will hang around the waist, a little below the navel. If you have put on weight around the waist this will help to conceal it, though is does make fitting the trousers a challenge, and getting them to stay up. The legs should be slightly roomier in the thigh and taper below the knee, though this is hardly noticeable if done well. The ankles should be covered when standing
Sleeves, when you stand upright, should reach to the point between where the arms end and the thumb begins. This provides the right amount of length as the arm is raised and lowered. The circumference of the arm should allow the forearm and upper arm, which vary greatly between individuals, to more freely.
Jackets tend to look best when reaching to the end of your clenched knuckles and conceal you trousers’ fly. But as the body type and arm length vary greatly between individuals s this jacket length may vary. Longer or shorter jackets can help an individual look taller or longer in the leg; a good tailor caters to this.
Hidden pockets are highly recommended. One in front below the waistline (hidden by the belt) is excellent for a credit card box or something similar. One inside the breast pocket, for a slim wallet or mobile phone, prevents any misshaping of the suit that might occur is too much is held in the side trouser pockets.
If you are lucky enough to be or a generic build, which almost nobody is, you can buy a suit of the rack. But almost everybody finds they have to have at least a few alterations to a suit bought like this.
Customers often prefer a made to measure suit. This consists of choosing a general style of suit and having it measured out and made to your body type. This is more expensive than off the rack clothing, but it produces very good results for a great many people.
Bespoken suits are made from scratch, there is no template; the tailor makes a suit completely customised to the individual. It provides the greatest amount of variation in design and style, but the amount of time and skill needed means it is a more expensive option. The results, from a good tailor, can be exceptional. And if one has additional bespoken suits made the expense is somewhat lowered.
