Important Aspects May Consider While Buying Men’s Suit:

Gorge in Men’s Suit:

   1. This is the portion where the collar and lapels meet extending down to the first button.


   2. Shifts in fashion trends have influenced the highs and lows of the gorge. High gorge would mean the first button is placed higher up on the men’s suit and vice versa.


   3. Having it too high would closely mimic the 1950s Beatles era while too low resembles the 1980s trend.


   4. In order to avoid your men’s suit getting out of fashion over time, it would be recommended to stay classic in design and not get too deep into one particular fashion trend unless you can afford it, of course.

Button in Men's Suit:

   1. Buttons involves the most handling during the wearing experience especially when fastening and unfastening.


   2. Plastic buttons are not suitable in men’s suits. Select natural horn, pearl, or bone buttons in men’s suits.


   3. Check that the closure is stretched when buttoned. There should not be puckering of fabrics around the fastened buttons. Such puckering would mean unleveled sewing of buttons and button holes.


   4. Men’s suits are accessible in 2 button and 3 button men’s suits.

Shoulder Padding in Men’s Suits:

   1. Generally most men’s suits have stuffing and the thickness of shoulder pads depends on the man’s shoulder and body shape.


   2. Slightly thicker shoulder pads would be suitable for slope shoulder men to craft the men’s suit look leveled.


   3. Intense padding will not be right for men with wide broad shoulders.

Armhole and Sleeve style in Men Suit:

   1. Armholes are the inside of your sleeves where you slip your arm in.


   2. Usually high arm holes would give suit a enjoyable drape.


   3. The armholes should be wide adequate for easy movement of arms.


   4. An important suggestion about sleeve style in suit is they should end at about ½ to ¼ inches before the dress shirt cuffs worn within.


   5. Generally the sleeve will end at mid-point of your wrist bone.

Men’s Suits Pants:

   1. Men’s suits encircling the pants are the swathe, the pleats and the manacles.


   2. Drape of the pants over your lower body should be smooth and floats over your legs.


   3. The length of the rise complements your height. Taller men will suit higher rise while shorter men should settle for lower rise.


   4. In men’s suit pants, there are 3 types of pleats such as single pleat, double pleat, and pleat less flat front.


   5. Cuffs are upward folds made at the end of the pants. It is recommended that your cuffs be 1½ - 1¾ inch wide depending on the man’s overall size. Generally pants cuffs look better on taller man.


   6. To create shorter man look even shorter with cuff pants. Make sure the cuff at the pants end fall with ease without too much gather.
