Two Button
Easily the most common type of jacket fastening, it is ideal for all occasions and all types of jackets. Deep V neckline that should fall right above the navel; creating a flattering elongated silhouette.
|
Standard Notch
V-shape indentation. The most versatile and common type of lapel, it can be worn equally well at formal occasions and more casual events. Can be paired with various pants to mismatch.
|
Double Breasted Notch
Two rows of four buttons. An ornate and highly formal style. Reminiscent of Victorian fashion, with a notch lapel that lands higher on the chest.
|
Flap Pocket
Pockets that have a flap, made from the same fabric as the suit, over the opening. The flaps add visual depth to a suit, but they can also be tucked in, thus imitating the look of jet pockets.
|
Ticket Pocket
An optional stylistic choice, the ticket pocket is a smaller sized pocket located above the right hand side pocket. Historically used for storing train or movie tickets. Adds character and a slight vintage touch.
|
Double Vents
Twin openings that sit on each side of the jacket’s back hem. A more sophisticated flair. The preferred look for most suits.
|
Boutonnière
French for "button hole", this hole is typically unused. It has become a standard in the industry (except for tuxedos) and can be inserted with a pin or a flower.
|
Displaced Fastening
Having the top pant button slightly on the right side makes for a classier style and elevates the overall look of a suit.
|
Two Pockets
Standard look, symmetrical style.
