The most important points in a well-fitting jacket


The basis of your jacket comes down to 4 points that are most important for a well-fitting jacket:

1. Whether the collar of the jacket fits properly on the neck or not.
2. That the shoulder of the jacket fits properly on your shoulder.
3. That the jacket follows the curve of the back well.
4. The sleeve length of the jacket falls at the right point, this is classically at the wrist bone for men.

In addition to these 4 points, how tight or roomy you want the jacket to be in the side seams or the sleeve width is a matter of taste.

Elevating a suit jacket from a standard off-the-rack piece to a garment that exudes custom luxury can be accomplished with the addition of working buttonholes, often referred to as "surgeon's cuffs".

This feature allows the sleeves to be unbuttoned, much like a surgeon's coat, which not only adds a touch of elegance but also showcases the skill of a master tailor and good taste.

This customisation adds both functionality and a clear indicator of sartorial expertise, especially when applied to a premium Isaia Jacket constructed from opulent Dormeuil Guanashina fabric.

It is a simple but splendid way to elevate a garment from good to great.

In our tailor's blog post about oversized shoulders in your jacket, we talked about which points are important for a good fit in your jacket.

As discussed in the previous article, the width of side seams does not have much to do with whether a jacket appears too large, this is purely a matter of taste.

One of the things that makes a suit look too big is a sleeve length that is too long. You often encounter this as a tailor and in this blog we will go into more depth.

The tailor: for the best fit of your jacket

As a tailor, we often get fit related questions. You can visit a tailor because your measurements have changed or because you want a different fit. As a tailor, I think it is important to clearly explain to customers how sizes relate to styles and fits.

If you really want everything in your suit, jacket or trousers to fit 100% and with the details you want, you will have to have it tailor-made from scratch and visit a bespoke tailor.

If you look at the suit style of the past, it is a different fit than we see a lot now. The fit was wider, jackets longer, trousers were worn higher. Nowadays suits are cut much slimmer.

Fit of MTM Suits vs Bespoke Suits


Naturally, a bespoke tailored suit represents the pinnacle of fit for the serious sartorial enthusiast and suit wearer. This is because all factors influencing the garment are perfectly tailored to your wishes and are in balance with each other. Between off-the-rack suits and bespoke suits lies the made-to-measure suit, which in the Netherlands is often sold as 'real tailor-made'. The moment you start critically examining it with an expert eye, you quickly see through this and find quite a few points for improvement in the fit.
