How to measure for the best fitting garment?
Use our size charts to find your perfect fit—just start with accurate measurements. Follow these simple steps to measure like a pro.
A. BACK LENGTH: Measure from the top of your shoulder (where the seam meets the neck) down to your desired jacket length—usually just below the waist.
B. SHOULDER: Measure straight across your back from the tip of one shoulder to the other. Keep the tape naturally level across your back.
EL/ER. SLEEVE LENGTH: Relax your arm at your side. Measure from the shoulder seam down to your wrist bone, bending your elbow slightly for accuracy.
J. HALF CHEST: Measure across the front of your chest, just below the armholes, from one side seam to the other. Keep the tape horizontal.
Start with a pair of well-fitting pants. Lay them flat on a smooth surface, fastening the button or zipper.
A. HALF WAIST: Measure straight across the waistband from one side seam to the other.
B. HALF SEAT: Measure across the widest part of the hips, from one side seam to the other.
E. HALF KNEE: Fold the pants with side seams facing out. At the midpoint of the leg (about 13–14 inches down from the crotch), measure straight across.
I. RISE: Measure from the top of the waistband straight down to the crotch seam.
H. INSEAM: Start at the crotch seam and measure down the inside leg to the hem.
A. BACK LENGTH: Measure from the top of your shoulder (where the seam meets the neck) down to your desired jacket length—usually just below the waist.
B. HALF WEIGHT: Measure straight across the waistband at your natural waist, from one side seam to the other.
F. HALF CHEST: Measure horizontally across the front of your chest, just below the armholes, from one side seam to the other.
SLIM vs. REGULAR FIT: WHICH ONE’S FOR YOU?
It all depends on your personal style, body type, and the occasion. Think of it this way:
• Slim Fit: Modern, tailored, and close to the body for a sharp, stylish look.
• Regular Fit: Classic, comfortable, and timeless with a more relaxed feel.
• Tailored close to the body for a sleek silhouette.
• Jacket is narrower in the chest and waist, with high armholes and slim sleeves.
• Pants are tapered with a narrow leg opening for a streamlined look.
• Best suited for lean builds or those who prefer a tailored fit.
• Stylish but slightly less flexible than regular fits.
• Traditional, relaxed silhouette.
• Jacket provides more room in the chest and waist with standard armholes and fuller sleeves.
• Pants are straight-leg for a comfortable, easy fit.
• A more classic and comfortable fit without feeling too loose. Suitable for most body types.
• Provides ease of movement—versatile for any occasion.
SINGLE-BREASTED VS. DOUBLE-BREASTED: WHICH IS BETTER?
Again, it all depends on your personal style, the occasion, and your desired look.
VIBE: Clean, modern, simple. Works well for both formal and casual occasions.
VERSATILITY:Wear open or closed. Easy to dress up or down. Pairs well with different shirt and tie combinations.
COMFORT: Less restrictive giving you greater freedom to move.
STYLE: Contemporary and sleek. Flattering for most body types.
VIBE: Structured and formal for a more powerful silhouette.
FORMAL STATEMENT: Perfect for making a strong, authoritative impression in high-power settings.
CLASSIC STYLE: Timeless, traditional tailoring for those who value vintage appeal.
ENHANCED SILHOUETTE: Defines a more authoritative shape, typically worn buttoned up for a formal look.
PEAK VS. NOTCH LAPELS: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
The lapel style defines your suit’s look. Here’s how peak and notch lapels differ:
DESIGN: Peak lapel edges point up towards the shoulders for a sharp, angular look. Adds height and width for a more elegant, commanding presence.
FORMALITY: Considered more formal and sophisticated, generally seen on double-breasted suits, tuxedos, but can also add polish to a single-breasted suit.
OCCASIONS: Perfect for formal events, weddings, and business settings where you need to make a strong impression.
DESIGN: Features a triangular cut-out where the lapel meets the collar, creating a “notch” for a clean, classic look. Suits all body types and occasions.
FORMALITY: The most standard, versatile lapel style—mostly seen on single-breasted suits, blazers, and sport coat.
OCCASIONS: A go-to for both formal and casual events—perfect for business and everyday wear.
WHICH POCKET IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Take your personalization further—choose between hacking pockets for a stylish twist or straight pockets for a classic look. Or even a ticket pocket for that extra something.
Slanted. Old-school flair. Rooted in English tailoring and equestrian tradition, hacking pockets made it easier to access pockets while on horseback. Commonly seen on sports suits and sport coats, they can easily add British flair to dressier suits.
The slanted design visually slims and heightens the wearer. Best for sporty, casual, or semi-formal occasions, they add a touch of elegance to dressier suits yet remain less formal than straight pockets.
With a pocket opening parallel to the ground, straight pockets are the most formal and traditional style, offering a sleek, clean silhouette.
Ideal for formal events, business settings, and black-tie occasions.
A small, extra pocket you can add above the right hip, that adds a touch of vintage style and sophistication to your suit or sport jacket. Ideal for those who appreciate classic tailoring and want a unique touch. It also offers a handy spot for small items or cards.

Keep your suit looking as sharp as you with these essential care tips.
After each wear, brush your suit with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and lint. Then, hang it up in a fresh, airy spot to let it breathe and maintain its shape.
Blast wrinkles and refresh your fabric with a garment steamer–no risk of heat damage. In a rush? Hang it in a steamy bathroom for a fast fix.
Use a broad wooden hanger to maintain that sharp shoulder shape. Slip it into a breathable garment bag for dust protection and airflow.
Gently dab small stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent–no scrubbing! Dry clean when needed (2-3 times a year) to keep your suit in prime condition.
