OVER-SIZED
JACKETS
Possibly the most common mistake out there, wearing a blazer one
or two sizes too big. What’s the most important thing to get right
when choosing a blazer? How it fits your shoulders. While a tailor can
fix things like sleeve length and even the length of the jacket, there’s
not much that can be done if the shoulders don’t fit properly.
How should the shoulders fit? They should be as wide as your natural
shoulder width. The jacket sleeve should meet right where your arm
meets your shoulder. The fabric from the seam should immediately
drape straight down. A lump or clustering in the arm is a sign that
the shoulder doesn’t fit properly.

FACING
WINTER
WITH
EFFORTLESS
STYLE
Winter is just around the corner which
means it will soon be about time to let go of
the silks, the linens and Mohair fabrics that
donned your wardrobe over the warmer
months and look towards some heavier,
chunkier fabrics to ward off the impending
cold weather.
The fabric you choose for your next
selection of suits will make that difference
and allow you to look sharp while still
remaining warm and achieving that
equilibrium between form and function.
