<\/span><\/h2>\nLet me be clear: fit\u00a0reigns supreme!<\/p>\n
Do not purchase a suit that does not fit you properly or that cannot be modified to fit you properly.<\/p>\n
It’s not going to look good if you spend $2,000 on a suit that doesn’t fit you.<\/p>\n
A $50 suit that fits you nicely is going to look a lot nicer than something that doesn’t.<\/p>\n
You must focus on the\u00a0fit.<\/p>\n
If you have to pay more to buy anything that fits your extremely thin or extremely large body, then do so.<\/p>\n
That’s why I suggested that custom suits would be an option for some of you who are a little shorter, a little thick, or just a big guy. Whatever it is, you may need to take that route in order to find something that fits your physique well.<\/p>\n
So, when you’re shopping for a jacket, these are the features to look for.<\/p>\n
Does it fit you nicely in the shoulders?<\/p>\n
You don’t want to get your shoulders adjusted because it’s similar to having heart surgery. It will just cost you a lot of money, and it is better to simply purchase a jacket that fits you properly in the shoulders.<\/p>\n
Next, let’s take a look at the chest and the torso.<\/p>\n
If you have too much space here, and we’re talking about two fists worth of space, that’s simply too much space. You should probably go down a size. They can bring it in a couple of inches in the torso, but not more than that.<\/p>\n
The problem here is one of proportions.<\/p>\n
As a result, the pockets will change, and the jacket will no longer appear nice.<\/p>\n
What about letting a jacket out, or perhaps opening it?<\/p>\n
Yes, on higher-end suits, there should be enough additional fabric to allow you to open it up an inch.<\/p>\n
If you discover a suit that fits you well but is a touch tight in the chest, you can open it up a little.<\/p>\n
When it comes to length, there are two things to consider.<\/p>\n
Put your arms down and your knuckles should be approximately an inch longer than the length of the jacket, give or take an inch.<\/p>\n
The back of the jacket is the other place you’ll want to look. Is it long enough to conceal your buttocks’ curve? It should be long enough to cover your butt.<\/p>\n
It’s probably too long or too short if the jacket exposes your butt or goes much beyond that.<\/p>\n
Let’s talk about the sleeves for a moment.<\/p>\n
This is one of the most straightforward places to adjust up to an inch and a half, and in some cases two inches. It is entirely dependent on the suit’s size.<\/p>\n
However, you should be able to see a quarter to half inch of your shirt cuff.<\/p>\n
What about the trousers?<\/p>\n
The trousers are sold with\u00a0the jacket; they are sold as a pair, and you should make sure that they fit you properly around the waist. This can be opened up or tightened if it’s a little too big or too tight.<\/p>\n
Let’s take a look at the length of the trouser. You’ve got a few choices here.<\/p>\n
You have the option of going without a break, taking a quarter break, a half break, or taking a full break.<\/p>\n
What you should do here is mostly determined by your particular preferences and height. If you’re a taller man, a full break is the way to go. If you’re a shorter man, go for the no-break option.<\/p>\n
