No matter how you are built, one of these jacket’s style will flatter your body type perfectly. If you are not too sure which one, just get in touch with one of our Fashion Experts. When choosing your cut, keep in mind that its look also depends on the pattern and the fabric you will select.

The beauty of custom-made garments is that anything is feasible. Craving for something “funky?” Simply provide us with a detailed description (pictures, sketches, etc.) of your dream jacket and we will tailor it scrupulously follow your requirements.

You may select a type of pocket for your jacket. Choose among:

- Straight
- Slanted
- Straight with ticket pocket
- Slanted with ticket pocket

There is no particular code concerning the jacket's pockets. Traditionally, jackets come with single straight pockets. A slanted flapped pocket is an elegant choice that works well with peaked collars (double breasted jackets), dress suits, and as an alternative choice in working suits. Ticket pockets can be both practical and break up the line of a long torso build. Whatever style of pocket you may choose, the flap can be tucked away to give the effect of a flapless pocket.

A jacket without vents gives a very elegant shape to a jacket. However, it is not advised as a practical choice. It will cause buckling and restrictions when sitting, with extra movement and minimal access to the trouser pockets.

A single vent is a standard choice for many suits in a more modern American influence to the traditional tailored suit that evolved from early riding coats. Allows for clean line and some ease of movement.

A double vent is a popular traditional choice in English tailoring. Allows for ease of movement while retaining a clean line. Looks good when seated and enables easy access to trouser pockets.

PIPING

Piping is the last coating of your jacket which merges the satin lining with the fabric smoothly. It gives depth to your jacket. Indeed the inside of the jacket is as important as the external aspect. Piping comes in many different colors!

You are welcome to request special colors for your lining, depending whether you want to have a “flashy/contrast” lining or something more simple.

If you are not too sure, ask for some tips from our fashion consultants or let our tailors pick a color that will blend perfectly with the fabric chosen.

JACKET'S CUFFS

Most suits you will encounter nowadays have normal cuffs. Buttons are not workable.

However, the “real buttonhole” cuff is an English-tailoring classic and a testimony of an expensive suit (available upon request).

Buttons can be undone to wash your hands for example.
Our jackets come with 3 or 4 buttons by default, depending on the cut of the jacket.

Pleats are useful if you wear your trousers high or if you are overweight. Otherwise, they are useless. It is just a matter of style.

The English often wore their pleats inward-facing, considering the way they fell to be more elegant as less likely to gape. However, this was because they wore their trousers on the natural waist.

The natural waist is easy to find: it is above your hip bones, often around the level of the belly button, though this can vary from one person to another. The waist is normally the slimmest point on a person, which is one reason men wore their trousers there. Pleats, again only if worn on the waist, can be flattering for larger men. Pleats allow the trousers to fall straight down rather than going in first, highlighting a belly. That is the limited, albeit useful, role of pleats. Ignore anyone who says they just want roomier pockets! Still can’t decide? We would say that nowadays, flat fronted trousers are more trendy.
