REGULAR FIT means a straight-cut, slightly fitted suit with a more relaxed silhouette. So if you feel more comfortable when the cut of the suit is slightly wider, then regular fit is our number one choice for you. No question: comfort is king here.

If you like a slim, figure-hugging style, SLIM FIT is the perfect fit for your suit. Not too narrow and not too wide – but simply modern and elegant. Whatever the occasion, slim fit is the perfect way to look your best.

Are you happy to go slightly more extreme? Then, with EXTRA SLIM FIT, you’re well ahead. As the name suggests, it is cut to an extra slim fit that moulds perfectly to your body shape. For a clean silhouette and a statement in suit style.

YOUR NEW SUIT SHOULDN’T JUST LOOK GOOD – IT NEEDS TO FIT PERFECTLY, TOO!

JACKET AND LENGTH?

The right jacket length is exactly what you feel good in. That’s all there is to it. However, you should observe one rule: the jacket should end just over the hip.

SLEEVE LENGTH

The sleeves must not be too short or, of course, too long. Easy to remember: the jacket sleeves should end at the wrist. The shirt underneath, on the other hand, should be roughly one centimetre longer than the jacket sleeves – so that your cuffs can also come into their own.

Why? Because the cuffs form the hem at the end of the sleeves and complement the collar visually. In short: it simply looks better, as it rounds off the overall look.

TROUSER LENGTH

Trousers kiss shoes: your suit trousers should finish on your shoe, without creasing. A little tip: narrower cut trousers can be worn slightly shorter. Then you can also go without socks now and again in summer.

Jacket front and back

BACK AND FRONT 

A few good tips for your perfect look:

  • your jacket stops just over the hip
  • It should not be too wide or too narrow at the shoulder. Your shoulder seam should be flush on the top of your arm
  • Always undone: the lower button on your jacket
  • The two-finger rule? When buttoned up, the jacket has two finger-width leeway at the top. Exceptions apply to Slim Fit and Extra Slim. It’s fine if it’s a little less in these fits
  • On the back? No creases in the fabric please
