Perfect Fit – Fit guide oscar jacobson

Perfect Fit – What Is That?

Finding the right fit is more complicated than just choosing the correct size. A suit jacket has multiple points of contact with the body and requires a precise fit, while the trousers should drape elegantly to create a well-balanced overall look.

The fit should enhance your silhouette, and the suit should feel natural to wear. Here are some key details to keep in mind when trying on a suit.

Blazer

The jacket is the hardest part of the suit to adjust afterwards, so it's important that it fits correctly from the start.

Fit guide — CHEST: The jacket should provide enough room without causing creases on the lapels. If the fabric pulls tight, you need a larger size.

Fit guide Oscar Jacobson — SHOULDERS: The shoulder seam should end exactly at the outermost point of your shoulder and fall straight down. If the fabric bulges out, it is too small; if the shoulders appear sunken, it is too large.

Fit guide oscar jacobson — WAIST: The jacket should follow your silhouette without being too tight. You should be able to pinch about 10-20 cm of fabric at the stomach without it feeling restrictive.

Fit guide — SLEEVE LENGTH: About 1 cm of the shirt cuff should be visible at the wrist. The shirt should end at the base of the thumb.

Fit guide blazer — LENGTH: When standing relaxed with your arms at your sides, the jacket should end around the knuckles.

Trousers

A well-fitted pair of trousers should be comfortable and create a harmonious line with the jacket.

Fit guide oscar jacobson Trousers — WAIST:The trousers should stay up without a belt but not be so tight that they feel uncomfortable. Depending on the model and personal style, the waist can sit at different heights, but it should always feel natural.

Trouser guide — LENGTH: The trousers should just touch the shoe without creating excessive fabric folds. If they have turn-ups, the same principle applies. The crease should remain straight and neat.

guide trousers oscar jacobson — WIDTH: The trousers should have enough width to maintain the shape of the crease while still allowing for comfortable movement.
