While getting budget dressing it is perfect to get off-the-rack suit. However, for an ideal look you can choose bespoke suits. The ‘art of manliness’ begins with quality fabric and exquisite craftsmanship. Read on this blog to know how you will look with the best fitting suit.
What “Good Look” means?
During donning a suit you must look good and comfortable and it fits you perfectly which refers to natural stance. You need to stand straight with relaxing arms at the side. Although it is not natural posture for most of men yet it regulates the flows of movement. The suit will appear like in the following with natural stance.
Shoulder
Snugly fit shoulder will lay flat. The shoulder seam on top will be of similar length as it is under and joins the sleeve at the place where shoulder meets the arm. If the seam which joins the sleeve sits above the shoulder bone or below then it will not fit the person properly.
At that time ripple effects will make wrinkles or lumps on sleeve. Shoulder is really tough to make adjustments post designing the suit. Therefore before getting one ensure that it fits perfectly.
Seat
The trouser back must possess smooth drape. Proper fit in seat will lie over the underwear loosely without pulling tight the butt and drape loosely on the thighs. Bad fit will be there in seat if there is horizontal wrinkle under butts or U-shaped sags and loose in thighs back.
Any suit make can make necessary adjustments without any trouble with a certain limitation to stitch. In case it is extremely loose then they have to pull off the pockets prior to make any alternations. You can contact with London bespoke suit makers to get the perfect suit for your body shape.
Trouser Break
Break refers to small wrinkle over top of shoe stops where the cuff of the trousers falls from full length. It is a subtle feature just like a small crease or horizontal dimple. Either it will contact the shoe top or rest on it.
If it falls for longer like above heel of shoe then it is not the right adjustment. In such instances the hem will open and the suit maker will make the necessary adjustment for proper fitting of the trousers.
Suit Closure
If you are standing and put on the suit then you must button it. Both single and three-button suit must remain close and notice whether the sides meet perfectly without hanging of lapels or lower edges of suit flare out like skirt. No wrinkles should there at the time of closing the button and it must close without strain.
Little opening part at its bottom is perfectly fine but it must never get apart to show the triangle part of shirt. Letting off or taking in the suit comfortably isn’t a hard job. Only a reliable suit maker can bring the drastic change otherwise don’t expect much. It is better to get a new suit.
Sleeve Length
Only half inch of linen is perfect to link the shirt underneath and the suit over. The shirt cuff should be revealing half an inch beyond the cuff of the jacket. Don’t become over obsessive just make sure that the areas where the cuff of the shirt joins the sleeve don’t appear.
Also suit sleeve must not hide the sleeve of the shirt completely. Instead it is better to show only band of shirt cuff. However as the arm varies as per the individual adjustment for sleeve length is easy to make. Hence you can obtain the right sleeve length.
Suit Length
Length of the suit matters the most. The ideal one is where the butt of the person starts there must an inward curve. Hands can be perfect marker as well and just release them in natural stance. The suit hem will touch the middle of hand or the area where finger meets palm.
In case it sits on butt top with small flare then it is extremely short. If it exceeds the arm then it is extremely longer. However, it is adjustable without any problem in case it appears over front pockets and out of the proportion, never count the adjustment of an inch or two.
Suit Collar
Identification of poor-fit collar is really tough. The collar of the suit must rest on the shirt collar that both should rest on back of neck. These must touch lightly without any prominent gaps within. Loose collar will turn out to be ill fit and it will flop off the neck.
But tight collar is hard to identify. Look your sides in the mirror and it will make folds and bunches underneath leaving many wrinkles. Poor fit of collar indicates wrong neck size improper sizing of shoulder and extreme small back panel or the suit is tilt towards backward or forward instead of neutral stance.
As the adjustments need money and time for fixing it is better to get a new suit with perfect fitting collar.
4 “Bad Fit” warnings
With severe warning signs it is easy for spotting the problems of the suit. In case your suit has the same problem then it is really impossible to make the right fitting with good adjustment. Therefore, it is better to try on reputable brands to obtain the perfect suit. If you can afford bespoke suit then it is much better. Before any alternations check for the following signs:
1. Dreaded X-shaped button strain
When you observe wrinkles coming out from suit button during closing it, that indicates the fitting is extremely tight. Bad fit in torso is easily noticeable with the front button strain. Also it heightens the chance of popping off the button. Never get that kind of suit.
Even if the old suit indicates the same it is clear that either the owner gains sudden weight or it shrinks down accidentally due to washing. Then you can keep the wait out to use it with a perfect fit.
2. Upper arm wrinkles and shoulder divots
In case the sleeves appear dip and come back again then shoulders are extremely big. You will notice shoulder will padding and protruding beyond arm and sleeve cloth will tuck back underneath it.
In case there is slouched stance the wrinkles are normal. Suit always stitches stiffly due to upright posture. Get a small size in which shoulder of the body meet with sleeves’ seam or try out bespoke suits.
3. Shoulder wrinkles- top rumpling
If there is extra bunching on shoulder top instead of upper sleeve then suit is excessively large in shoulders. It can happen because of the interior space issue that is you don’t have broader shoulder for fill in the suit.
In such instance you must try out slim one as the bespoke suit makers have multiple styles in small sizes. In case you see wrinkles on shoulder top then bespoke suit is the best one for you.
4. Twisted sleeves- bad sleeve pitch
If the angle in arm in the natural stance creates faint spiralling wrinkles outside sleeve then it never matches the sleeves’ angle to your arm. As a result, it will appear twisted slightly even when the arm will hang still from the sides.
However, any tailor has the ability to remove and restitch them with different angle. This is the key deal-breaker. Just try it unless you get a new suit where the sleeves will remain straight and smooth with the arms resting in natural stance.
