Style & Fit Guide
The Language
of Details
Lapels, buttons, linings, stitching — the small decisions that separate a good suit from a great one, and quietly say who you are.
The lapel
A gentleman’s signature
Notch Lapel
The universal classic
A small notch where collar meets lapel — understated and always appropriate.
- Wear — business, daily, versatile
- Says — balanced, approachable
Peak Lapel
Bold power and prestige
Points sweep sharply upward for a commanding, elongating line.
- Wear — formal, tuxedos, double-breasted
- Says — ambitious, authoritative
Shawl Lapel
Smooth evening elegance
A rounded, seamless curve with no points — the dinner-jacket lapel.
- Wear — tuxedos, black tie, evening
- Says — refined, classic
The peak lapel is not shy — it is a lapel of presence.
Heritage with impact
The Double-Breasted
Two rows, twice the presence
An overlapping front, two columns of buttons, almost always peak lapels — the ultimate power silhouette, returned to the front of modern tailoring.
Wear
Weddings, power dressing, fashion-forward events.
Says
Confident, bold, fashion-conscious.
Rule
Keep the anchor button fastened so it frames the chest.
The finer details
Where craftsmanship shows
Buttons
- Two-button — the modern standard. Fasten the top, never the bottom.
- Three-button — traditional. Sometimes, always, never.
- Double-breasted — anchor inside, one row outside.
Linings
- Full — structure, drape, durability.
- Half — breathable for warmer climates.
- Unlined — light, casual, natural.
Finishing
- Pick stitching — fine hand stitches along the edges.
- Surgeon’s cuffs — working sleeve buttonholes.
- Vents — single, double, or none.
