Jacket

There are three simple steps to getting a jacket that fits you perfectly:

1. Get your chest measurement right.

• Do up the middle button if it’s a three-button suit or the top button if it’s a two-button suit and pull out the front of the jacket with your finger.
• It should pull out to allow a one and a half inch gap between the jacket and your stomach ideally (two inches maximum).

2. Decide if you need a Short, Regular or Long jacket.

• When you stand up, put your hand at a right angle by your side
• Where the base of your hand touches your leg, is where the bottom of your jacket should sit.

3. The sleeve length

• The jacket sleeve should be just a little shorter than your shirt sleeve length to allow a little bit of the shirt cuff to show under the suit jacket.

Two or three button jackets?

• Our three-button and two-button suits are cut from the same block so the fit is the same.
• Two-button suits show more of your shirt and tie than a three-button suit does.

Trouser

• Go for your normal trouser size - if you need a belt, you’re not wearing the right waist size.
• A three-button suit comes with pleated trousers which are a more generous fit than flat fronted ones. Two-button suit trousers are flat fronted for a slightly more modern look.
• To get the correct inside leg length, measure the leg of an existing pair of trousers or get yourself properly measured in store.
• When you put your shoes on, the bottom of the trouser leg should go to the floor.
• Trouser legs are cut on a slope; they should be lower at the back than at the front.
• Your trousers should sit comfortably on your waist
• Your trousers shouldn’t look too short when you sit down.
