Here’s what you need to know…
Suit jackets can cost a pretty-penny to tailor. Small changes like adding darts aren’t too big of a deal. But if you buy the wrong size in the shoulders, good luck.
If the tailor is willing to make alterations on the shoulders, there’s no guarantee they’ll be able to make the shoulder fit properly.
Often times, shoulder alterations end up with unsightly wrinkles.
Most tailors won’t want to alter jacket shoulders, and if they do, it’s going to cost a lot of money (with no guarantee of success) as they are an inherent part of the suit and give it structure and shape.
The number-one thing you need to look for when buying a suit off the rack is the right shoulder size, as almost everything else can be altered.
The shoulder seam should end right where your shoulder bone ends, not where your shoulder muscle ends. A soft shoulder is a great touch on a made to measure suit, we always recommend goin for no shoulder pads in your suit jacket for a more casual look.
Many guys make the mistake of wearing suit jackets with shoulders that are too wide. A tell tale sign of overly wide shoulders are indentations in the sleeve just below the shoulder seam.
If you’re not sure exactly how to get the right fit in the shoulders, talk to us. Call us today to make a time and we will gladly help you look good, professional and surely the best in the crowd.
