The right fit is the most important part of a great suit - far more impactful on how it looks on you than the fabric. Fit is where custom made clothing stands out above off-the-rack garments.

(for all the right reasons)
Custom suits are built to the contours of your body shape, accentuating your best features. Once you wear a suit made for you, you know.
Look good, feel good, be good - and prepare for a lot of compliments.

The Difference Is Real
Proper Lapel Width
The proper lapel depends on body size - narrow lapels are best suited for shorter & thinner men, wide lapels for larger, taller men. The lapels should lay flat against your chest without buckling.
Flattering Torso Shape
A great fit flatters your body, with as much of an hourglass shape as possible. The tapering at the waist makes your shoulders appear broader and your midsection leaner.
High Arm Holes
Higher arm holes offer greater mobility and less bunching. They should feel comfortable with enough breathing room to move around freely.
Comfortable Jacket Closure
A proper suit should button snugly but without pulling and should fasten 1.5"-2" above your navel. If there are wrinkle lines extending outward from the button when closed, the jacket is too tight.

Higher arm holes offer greater mobility and less bunching. They should feel comfortable, but in a custom suit don't expect to be able to raise your arms above your head, especially when the front button is fastened.
The back of the jacket should sit smoothly against your upper back, allowing 1/2"-3/4" of the shirt collar to be visible above the jacket.
- Backline
- Vents
- Pants
A bespoke jacket should follow the natural arch of the backline, tapering in from the shoulder blades then back out to the rear.
With the exception of certain tuxedos, a jacket should always have vents. Single vents offer a casual look while double vents provide a more formal, bespoke appearance.
We recommend a flat front, slim fit style, but that's ultimately up to you. Sartoro pants taper down to the knee, leaving enough room for movement while still maintaining a snug fit.
