Composing a Size Jacket

Why a jacket from NEW TAILOR?

First, it is important that we get to know each other a little. We talk through what your expectations are and what your preferences are. Once we have an idea about that, you get to see (lots of) fabrics. Then you choose what the fabric of the jacket and the lining will look like. After these choices we measure you and determine where we are going to have the jacket and with what construction. Then we go to work for you, ordering the fabric, determining the pattern and putting out the orders. After a few weeks, we meet again at the first fitting. Then the clothing is 95% finished. We always do the finishing touches in our own atelier in the store. Because then we see if the fit really suits your body and you come out of the fitting room with a smile.

Single Breasted

Double breasted

You can of course choose how many buttons you want. Usual is two buttons or two and half buttons for a single breasted jacket. For the double, we like six buttons (two rows of three buttons.) But as you would expect from us, there are more options. The choice is yours. Then you choose the lapels. Cropped or not during the fitting we often determine the width. There is a buttonhole in the lapel that is meant to hold a flower or small corsage piece. We can choose a Milanese buttonhole. This is then put in by hand with the greatest care. A trained tailor takes about fifteen minutes to do this. It is something for the real connoisseurs because even a machine-made buttonhole can look very beautiful.  

Peak

Notch

Then we continue to make a choice about the pockets. Here we see the patch pocket and the flap pocket. But there are more choices to make here. So you can also choose a jetted pocket. Then you only see a small piping of the pocket. We can also slant the pockets in the jacket, so it goes with the shape of your body.

Do you find it hard to choose between a paspel pocket or a flap pocket. Then go for the flap pocket because with the flap folded in, it looks just like a welt pocket. A breast pocket in the same style is often nice otherwise you can go for a barchetta. A barchetta is shaped like a little boat, slightly curved and slightly slanted. Because then it follows the curve of your chest the best.

OPStitched pockets

CLIP SACKS

It seems like a small detail but it really shows who you are. The number of buttons on the sleeve. Here you are completely free to choose. Usually we see the usual 4-button anyway. You can also choose 3 or 2 buttons. For a tuxedo, 1 buy can also be very nice. Especially if it is covered with the same silk as the lapel.

Sleeve buttons that overlap slightly are called kissing-buttons and we like that.  

1 - Button

4 - Button

These are in part the choices you will make for the jacket. There are many more options in the stores we are happy to show you what else is possible. 

In conclusion

There are other options and choices. Like the shoulder treatment, degree of cutting away of the front panels, width of the lapels and then of course the fit. What you can do to prepare are look at photos and take them with you.
We also have inspiration materials in the store. See you soon!

"NEW TAILOR is a top shop: first the man, then the suit. You are not only advised well and appropriately, but also inspired."

Sustainability Guarantee

When you are well dressed, you are comfortable in your skin and your qualities come into their own. Your entire environment benefits from that. And it also lasts longer. Everything lasts longer and gets added value if you pay attention to it. And we like to give that attention. We do everything consciously. You also consciously choose slow fashion because you know that timeless things say much more about you. By producing for everyone personally, we keep our ecological footprint as small as possible.

Smart Casual wear

You want to look groomed every day, and feel comfortable in your clothes. The need for beautiful luxury clothing with more comfort, a sportier look and the need for sustainability, have resulted in the further development of our smart casual range. You can basically wear it anytime and anywhere. Besides Casual Wear jackets, we are of course also happy to make your chinos, pullovers and casual shirts. Made-to-measure, of course.

Business Wear

The assurance of a good first impression can be found in our Business Wear line. Of course, in addition to suits, we as tailors also make combinations of jackets and a chino that you can and want to wear in a business environment. Just a little more formal and dressier than Easy Wear.

By a little more structure and inner work and just more formal fabrics. With a little more shine, for example, you make an impression and the content becomes more important. So it's clothing you don't have to worry about.

Wedding Wear

We have extensive experience in creating clothing for a wedding and other formal occasions. From a tuxedo for formal dinners or a jacquet to the ultimate linen wedding outfit for the beach. Of course, a wedding suit involves a little more than just picking out a business suit, which is why we like to take the time to inspire and help you with the many choices. We have several examples in the stores and also our wedding magazine will help you in making the right choice.

Wedding Trends 2024

Wedding trends 2024 show a shift toward roomier, looser and casual styles, with an emphasis on natural tones. Of course, the suit is tailored because it allows you to determine the color, details and fit, and because it can and should be special. Despite this casual trend, wedding suits remain sleek in terms of cut, model and color,

The tuxedo for 2023

Now if we had to have a tuxedo made it would be either a black barathea in black or a dark blue velour jacket with shawl collar with my black tie pants. Of course with a matching tuxedo shirt. The black all time favorite barathea is blacker than black because of the weaving technique. The fabric is such a classic
