In the world of men's fashion it is jacket A timeless piece that every man in his wardrobe should have. But with so many styles, cuts and sizes on the market, choosing the perfect jacket can be a challenge. One of the most frequently asked questions is: "How tight can a jacket sit?" In this extensive guide we dive into the art of the perfect fit.
1. Why the fit is important
The fit of a jacket can make or break your overall appearance. A well -fitting jacket accentuates your physique, while a poorly fitting jacket can make you look unkempt and uncomfortable.
2. The shoulders: the foundation of your jacket
The shoulder pass form is crucial. The seam of the jacket must coincide with the edge of your shoulder. If it hangs too far, the jacket is too big. If it ends for the edge of your shoulder, it is too small.
3. The chest and buttons
When you tighten your jacket, it must be smooth over your chest without pulling or folding. You must be able to put a flat hand comfortably under the jacket, but no more than that.
4. Sleeve length and cuffs
The sleeves of your jacket must end where your thumb and wrist meet. A small piece of your shirt (about an inch) must be visible under the cuff of the jacket.
5. The length of the jacket
Traditionally, a jacket must cover your buttocks. For a more modern look, some men opt for a slightly shorter jacket, but it should never finish above the middle of your bottom.
6. The shape and the silhouette
A jacket must follow the shape of your body. It must jump in at the waist and follow the contours of your body without being too tight.
7. Freedom of movement
Although a jacket must look sleek and tailored, it must also be comfortable. You must be able to move and sit your arms freely without the jacket pulling.
8. The benefits of second -hand and vintage jackets
Second -hand and vintage jackets not only offer a sustainable and affordable option, but they also have a unique style and character. Vintage jackets can have details and fabrics that you do not find in modern stores.
9. Adjustments by a tailor
Even if you buy a second -hand jacket, you can still have it adjusted for a perfect fit. A good tailor can perform wonders and ensure that your jacket looks like it was made especially for you.
