The English Cut Suit

Also called British Traditional. These suits are cut closer to the body. They have slightly narrower and defined shoulders with higher armhole. Coats have two side vents and they can be single or double-breasted. British cut jackets tend to use lower gorge lines which is the seam joining the collar and the lapel, heavier cloth, stiffer chest canvas, thicker shoulder pads, and more structure to the jacket. Trousers are cut generously with high waist and two or three pleats but they have more shape than American cut trousers. British suits will give you more contour and your look will be more fitted. It is accepted truth that the home of the traditional British suit is in Savile Row. Placed in London’s Mayfair, Savile Row is the home of custom suit makers and is the place to go when searching for highest tailoring excellence. These type of suits are ideal for average built men since they are not too boxy nor too slim.
