The perfect fit
Size guide
Here at Slater Menswear were are passionate about achieving the Perfect Fit. We offer Free Alterations across our 26 stores to ensure that you get the perfect fitting suit every time. Below are our top tips:
Sleeve length
Our sleeve lengths are measured from the centre of the collar to the edge of the cuff. Laying the jacket flat, measure the length between the centre of the collar to the top of the shoulder. Then measure from the top of the shoulder to the cuff of the jacket. Combine these measurements to confirm total sleeve length.
Shoulders
The seam should always end on the shoulders and should hug the shoulders gently. Should not be too tight or too narrow.?This part of the fit dictates the look of the whole suit.
Trouser length
Normally dictated by the wearer’s preference however there should be 1’’ break on trousers.
Jacket buttons
If you are wearing a 2 button suit, only the top one should be done. If you are wearing a 3 button jacket, only the middle one should be done.
Jacket length
This should be no longer than where your knuckles land by your side.
