Hi!

What are your favorite guides or check-lists on how clothes (suits and shirts in particular) should fit?

Thanks!

My eye, my tailor, and a mirror. And my wife, on those occasions when she is present.

Of course, but let's say someone is completely new to style and fit, if you would give that advice there is a 0% chance that they end up with a well fitted suit.

Im looking for stuff like "arms on suits should be this long, shirt arms this long, button height like this, this like that"

There is a ton of such advice on this forum, have you looked for it?

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
