How a regular suit should fit. ted baker. again, shoulders are key, but so’s the collar – it should sit flush with your shirt’s, no wrinkling or standing proud when the jacket’s buttoned. Next, put your fist behind the button, in between the jacket closure and your stomach. if there’s enough room for your fist to slide in easily, the jacket is too loose. but if your fist doesn’t fit in there at all, the jacket is too tight. the perfect balance is when you can just barely squeeze your fist in between the button and your stomach.
In the world of men’s style, fit is subjective — it’s subject to trends. some years, slim fit is all the rage, and sometimes looser clothing is cool.but when. The fit should be as close as possible to the end of your natural shoulder. the neck and how a suit jacket's collar fits on it is another hard to fix (but luckily easy to spot) issue. the collar should fit softly against your shirt collar. if the collar sits back from your shirt collar it is too large and this is hard to adjust retroactively. Button stance: top button of a two button jacket (or middle button of a three button) should hit about 1.5″ 2″ above your navel. vents: they stay closed. vents that open when the jacket is buttoned means it’s too tight. jacket length: hits at the second knuckle of the thumb and just barely covers your rear end. A well fitted shoulder should seamlessly align with your natural shoulder line. your suit jacket should lie flat on your shoulders, creating a polished, fitted look. you don’t want to wear a suit that bunches up around the shoulders or sags down. it will disrupt the entire structure and balance of the suit.
