Learn How Your Suit Should Fit

Transcript:
It’s been said that when a suit fits well, it’s the most flattering thing a man can wear.
Whether you wear a suit every day, or only on occasion, ensuring you look your best and feel confident is something the experts at Harry Rosen have the experience to help you with.
Let me share a few pointers that we can apply, regardless of whether your style leans toward a classic or contemporary silhouette.
How the jacket hangs off your shoulders, and the drape of the lapel are the foundations when choosing a ready to wear suit. We want as good a fit as possible before we consider any alterations.
The shoulders should be rounded and smooth with no dimpling or rumpling.
The lapels should be flat and smooth against your chest.
The collar should be smooth against your neck with no bunching or gaping.
The jacket should be fitted to your body - top button at the slimmest part of your waist - with no pulling across the closure.
Sleeves should be smooth with minimal twisting and end just above your wrist, leaving a quarter to half an inch of your shirt cuff exposed.
Vents should lay flat with no flaring or tugging.
Now, on to the trousers.
Pants should be fastened at your natural waist. The seat should be smooth with no creasing or sagging.
The break should naturally crease just above your shoes.
While some rules of style are fun to break, the fit of a suit should be non-negotiable. Consider an appointment with a Harry Rosen Clothing Advisor for the benefit of experience when it comes to your next suit.

He says that the suit should follow the lines of the body, but ignores the massive shoulder divots.

[@rayadisurya7343]

i also see a gap in the chest there?

[@jeremysmallwood]

and those pants are not on his natural waist. i realize there's some preference involved here, but you can't say that and then point to that waistline.

[@anthonylomonte3437]

Its tight at the sleeve head but off the rack a good fit. 42 years tailoring experience.

[@Sasasala386]

That suit definitely doesn't fit him...the shoulders are a terrible fit..making dents and not smooth at all

[@channelx8257]

what's a dent?

[@markm7101]

Matheus Salabert there is a x at the front button so it is too tight in the body

[@petercronin6606]

Thank you! Glad someone said something. However, that dent on the shoulder is really hard to eliminate with ready to wear and MTM suits.

[@rayadisurya7343]

also that the shirt sleeve doesnt really show.

This video should be reuploaded on April 1st.

[@thedrunkaccountant8617]

What colour is the model's suit? It's like a blue/grey - I love it!

[@blueb4829]

What about the length? It seems a little too short.

[@toadamine]

trousers are about an inch short of having a break.

[@OG213LA]

Great video. Thank you

[@jkwhitedog]

Shoulder is acceptable, but could be improved, it's funny that Harry can't even find a perfect shoulder for their own promotion video.

[@densista1160]

I went and tried a jacket today for the first time. The seller told me it fitted perfect. I felt like I couldnt move so good. Is that normal? Im so used to wear hoodie

[@JoeSpringer97]

A jacket does have some natural restrictions of movement. What I feel in a jacket is a little restriction in the arms, like I'm wearing an elastic band around me below the underarm. I've always taken this as normal. By the time you get a jacket big enough to remove that restriction, you probably got a jacket that is several inches too big around the chest.

[@ahmedurershad6049]

Wow! After reading all these comments: ppl know little about suits....you guys are crying about the shoulder but it’s a Canali suit so they’re little padded heavy so expression of the shoulder is more pronounced and muscular. As far as the length of the pants goes it is a modern day suit so it’s never short enough, specially when you got cuff. Remember when you wear flat front and narrow bottom, it should be just about touching your shoes, never breaking on your shoes. 👍

[@anthonylomonte3437]

Agree. I'm a Tailor.

[@sonarmanush]

What about suit length? thanks

[@rayadisurya7343]

do you think it is too short?

[@ub-4630]

If the edge of the vent neatly covers your bottom, it's a perfect fit.

[@conse01]

what if there are a couple wrinkles between the shoulder blades? What does this mean and how do you fix it?

[@bretmelton7116]

That's the dreaded shoulder divot. Shoulders are the hardest part to get right and hardest part to fix. When one shops for a suit, that shoulder better be right in all ways, everything ELSE can be fixed by a tailor

Maybe give the rooms skirting boards a wipe over before filming the next video..

[@jeremyhopkins2692]

Hey guys does anyone know any places I can go to buy a suite and have it fitted? Thanks in advance.

[@kevintran9732]

Atelier Munro

[@hephaistion3]

At the end of the day, you yourself should feel good about how it looks on you! It is not sending spaceship to the sky!

[@thegrowthmindsetchannel4627]

Exactly bro I think the clothes you are wearing should make you confident .

[@lamboaven4210]

What should be Blazer length for 5'7" height??

[@whiteboxvolume]

Put your arms by your side - Jacket should reach halfway down your thumb

[@toadamine]

you have to measure your torso... everyone is different... im relatively tall but have a very short torso, im all arms and legs... google "how to measure torso length"

[@shahryar8577]

Mr establish in new look

[@user-bn9qi4db9v]

NO BELTS

[@firstnamelastname9661]

THOSE SHOULDERS DIVETS are huge !!!!!!! How is that good ???????????

[@allaction7816]

It seemed fine to me but then again I never wear one since you lose that feeling of freedom which I like in any clothing

[@tilsonf]

That suit doesn't fit him....... period

[@warrenapepuffet4612]

pretty bad fit, shoulders dents, jacket length, rise, it really didn't look that good

[@2by3]

Suits kind of.

[@briang530]

Tell these things to your advertising people. Harry Rosen is a terrible offender for jacket collar gap and shirt collar points far to small to rest within the lapel.

[@Suzyfromtheblock]

Well first of all let’s get the camera correct,

[@tariqali666]

Sorry , this is not a good fit

[@RonaldRagn]

Yes it is

[@yunaldtailor]

the suit he wore. the upper part of the upper arm. chest arms like wrinkles,

[@ZoomZoom-ng6sn]

People in the comments complaining like crazy. This isn't a bespoke, tailored, or customized suit. It's just a general idea of what you might end up with from off the rack. All you people acting like you have money for bespoke stuff. LOL

[@markm7101]

Doesn’t fit well.

[@steves7896]

He needs some fake eye lashes and pumps to go with that bun on the back of his head.

[@hephaistion3]

This may not work for everyone because not everyone has such a perfect body! When your arms are long, when your shoulders are too wide, you will find it impossible to find suitable fit!

[@ub-4630]

You don't have to find one, just get one custom made

[@rohanarora7923]

the most important area; the shoulders, are fucked up, so the whole suit, in general, appears to be fucked up. Clearly off-the-rack.

[@leesh771]

Pants too short

[@swf4841]

No.

[@johnyysimmerz]

Possibly the worst fitting suit jacket that man has ever worn

[@Caucasiancookingadventures]

Attention boomers: This ain't the 1960's anymore, suit style has changed for the better.

[@maeu59]

Those pants are too short.

[@davidr3789]

I 100% agree
