How a Suit Should Fit

As requested we have delivered a video on the fit of both the trousers and coat from our two video series ‘The Making of a Savile Row Coat’ and ‘Men’s Bespoke Trouser Making’ ➢ https://vimeo.com/ondemand/thehta ➢ https://vimeo.com/ondemand/thehtatrousermaking Seeing how these garments fit when finished should give the follower an idea of what they can expect to achieve. How a garment fits is really down to personal taste. Rory has met others in the trade who purposely cut coats with short balances, high armholes, and even sloping shoulders all to create some kind of crease or wrinkles that they find pleasing to the eye. All agree the main issues in fit show up on the back of the garment whether it’s the undersides of the trousers or across the blades of the jacket. Particular attention should be paid when studying the figure as logical pattern cutting from the start will help prevent the most common fitting issues.
