JACKET STYLES

Pockets

Patch pockets are fine on a sport jacket or sporty suits but for an elegant suit, a flap pocket or a besom pocket is more appropriate.

Lapel Buttonhole

A working buttonhole on the lapel allows you to sport a flower, which from time to time can be a wonderful aid to the styish look. No fine suit lacks a functioning lapel buttonhole.

Jacket Length

The coat must be long enough to cover the curvature of the man's buttocks. The correct method is to measure from the shoulder to the knuckle of his thumb or from under the jacket's back collar to his torso.
