An expensive suit that hasn't been tailored will look worse than a basic suit fitted to perfection. The secret to a sharp look is the fit, not just the fabric.
What can be tailored on a suit?
- Shortening the jacket sleeves so about 1 cm of shirt cuff shows
- Taking in the back of the jacket for a clean look
- Shortening and fitting trousers, with or without a cuff
- Adjusting the trouser waist
- Narrowing the shoulder width (a more delicate job)
How do you know a suit fits right?
The shoulders should end exactly at the edge of your shoulder, the jacket should close with a slight taper without pulling, and the sleeves should end at the base of your hand.
Tip: bring the shoes you'll wear with the suit so we can set the trouser length exactly.
