Comfort fit – suit for men with a loose cut
Comfort Fit men's suits are characterized by a high degree of freedom of movement and special comfort. These include, for example, a jacket without a waist and trousers with a comfortable leg width. This fit is suitable for men with a stately figure, a wide back or generally large circumference.
Modern fit
Modern Fit is also called Regular Fit and stands between Slim Fit and Comfort Fit. The jackets are slightly tailored.
Slim fit
The Slim Fit cut strongly emphasizes the body shape and is particularly suitable for slim men. The modern suit fit is characterized by a tailored jacket and slim trousers. The tops are also slightly shorter than the regular and comfort fit models.
Golden rules for the suit to fit correctly
You can create a tailor-made suit based on various details such as sleeve and jacket length, shoulder and chest area.
- The jacket sleeves should reach at least to the base of your thumb. Don't sit too tight or too loose either.Shirt cuff sticks out about 1 cm below the sleeve.
- There are differences in jacket length depending on the fit. As a rule, jackets should end 5 cm below the sleeve. If you can't grab the hem, then the jacket is too long.
- The shoulder area is crucial for the look. The seam should not be taut and should fall slightly over the shoulder so that the suit does not lose its shape and does not fold in the back.
- When you stand with your jacket closed, there should be no tension or flapping around your chest.
- The pants should be neither too short nor too long. Ideally it should end at the heel of the shoe and leave a small fold at the front. The perfect suit trousers should also not be tight in the crotch or the buttocks and should always sit on the waist and not on the hips.
The jacket type
Basically, single-breasted and double-breasted jackets. The double-breasted suit has two parallel rows of buttons and is the most serious form of jacket. All buttons should remain closed when wearing or sitting.
The single-breasted suits can be closed with one or more buttons and are the favorites of modern gentlemen. They can be combined with both formal and sporty outfits. On a two-button jacket, the bottom button always remains open.
Using the modular principle, men can combine different individual items according to their own taste and thus put together a very individual look. For example, you can order two pairs of trousers to go with a jacket from Carl Gross or choose them in different sizes. It is important that the color of the jacket, trousers and shirt should match. Here you can take a look at a few examples from the Spring/Summer 2016 catalog that show perfectly put together outfits.
