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.
|
Wide Peak
A "peak" at the lapel edge. Highlights the shoulders and chest. Most formal type of lapel, meant to be worn in full suit exclusively. More imposing than standard peak lapel due to width; best worn by tall men with broad shoulders. Power suit essential.
|
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.
