Learn How Your Suit Should Fit

Transcript:

It’s been said that when a suit fits well, it’s the most flattering thing a man can wear.

Whether you wear a suit every day, or only on occasion, ensuring you look your best and feel confident is something the experts at Harry Rosen have the experience to help you with.

Let me share a few pointers that we can apply, regardless of whether your style leans toward a classic or contemporary silhouette.

How the jacket hangs off your shoulders, and the drape of the lapel are the foundations when choosing a ready to wear suit. We want as good a fit as possible before we consider any alterations.

The shoulders should be rounded and smooth with no dimpling or rumpling.

The lapels should be flat and smooth against your chest.

The collar should be smooth against your neck with no bunching or gaping.

The jacket should be fitted to your body – top button at the slimmest part of your waist – with no pulling across the closure.

Sleeves should be smooth with minimal twisting and end just above your wrist, leaving a quarter to half an inch of your shirt cuff exposed.

Vents should lay flat with no flaring or tugging.
Now, on to the trousers.

Pants should be fastened at your natural waist. The seat should be smooth with no creasing or sagging.

The break should naturally crease just above your shoes.

While some rules of style are fun to break, the fit of a suit should be non-negotiable. Consider an appointment with a Harry Rosen Clothing Advisor for the benefit of experience when it comes to your next suit.

He says that the suit should follow the lines of the body, but ignores the massive shoulder divots.

That suit definitely doesn't fit him...the shoulders are a terrible fit..making dents and not smooth at all

[thedrunkaccountant]

What colour is the model's suit? It's like a blue/grey - I love it!

[toadamine]

trousers are about an inch short of having a break.

[blueb]

What about the length? It seems a little too short.

[jkwhitedog]

Shoulder is acceptable, but could be improved, it's funny that Harry can't even find a perfect shoulder for their own promotion video.

[densista]

I went and tried a jacket today for the first time. The seller told me it fitted perfect. I felt like I couldnt move so good. Is that normal? Im so used to wear hoodie

[jeremyhopkins]

Hey guys does anyone know any places I can go to buy a suite and have it fitted? Thanks in advance.

[lamboaven]

What should be Blazer length for 5'7" height??

[conse]

what if there are a couple wrinkles between the shoulder blades? What does this mean and how do you fix it?

[hephaistion]

At the end of the day, you yourself should feel good about how it looks on you! It is not sending spaceship to the sky!

Maybe give the rooms skirting boards a wipe over before filming the next video..

[allaction]

It seemed fine to me but then again I never wear one since you lose that feeling of freedom which I like in any clothing

[firstnamelastname]

THOSE SHOULDERS DIVETS are huge How is that good

[ahmedurershad]

Wow! After reading all these comments: ppl know little about suits....you guys are crying about the shoulder but it’s a Canali suit so they’re little padded heavy so expression of the shoulder is more pronounced and muscular. As far as the length of the pants goes it is a modern day suit so it’s never short enough, specially when you got cuff. Remember when you wear flat front and narrow bottom, it should be just about touching your shoes, never breaking on your shoes. 👍

[Suzyfromtheblock]

Well first of all let’s get the camera correct,

[briang]

Tell these things to your advertising people. Harry Rosen is a terrible offender for jacket collar gap and shirt collar points far to small to rest within the lapel.

[hephaistion]

This may not work for everyone because not everyone has such a perfect body! When your arms are long, when your shoulders are too wide, you will find it impossible to find suitable fit!
