A jacket is a basic item in the wardrobe of a modern man. It allows its owner to express his own individuality, demonstrate his position in society and a sense of style. But only if it fits perfectly both in size and length.
You can look very sloppy and sloppy if the item fits well on the chest, but the sleeves touch the fingers.
Therefore, when choosing a suit, you should not ignore such an important parameter as the length of the jacket.
Designation of jacket length on the label
Most manufacturers offer jackets and suits in the same styles and sizing lines. They most often differ from each other in length.
Typically the label indicates the following:
- S (Short) - for short men;
- R (Regular) - for average height;
- L (Long) - for tall guys and men.
However, do not delude yourself about this group of goods. So, despite the supposed universality of sizes, manufacturing companies develop completely different styles of clothing.
There is a lot of competition in this market segment, especially among design firms. A large number of employees work on the production of collections. Therefore, things with the same inscriptions on the labels will actually be different. You can understand whether a thing suits a person and determine the degree of comfort in it only by trying it on.
REFERENCE! In standard classic models, the length is usually indicated after the second number in the form of a letter.
So, 46/7R means that the item presented is size 46 in Regular length. This applies to representatives of the stronger sex of average height. Number 7 shows the difference between the chest volume of the jacket and the waist of the pants. Readings are in inches, but in US sizes. Thus, size 46 in the American clothing market is called 36. Tall people may not take an item to try on if the label says S. And short people may not take L to try on.
How to choose the right jacket length
In the vast majority of cases, the length depends on the preferred suit model. The final choice of the consumer is determined by his personal taste preferences. Methods for measuring the length of a men's business jacket apply only to classic cut models.
In any other cases, it always depends on the style of the selected product.
Length Requirements
There are the following interesting techniques for checking the correct length of a product.
- According to the rule for selecting classic clothing options, the vents of the product should completely cover the buttocks or be shorter by a couple of centimeters. Following the basic recommendations, the product should touch the middle of the palm, lowered parallel to the body of the person’s arm during fitting. According to recommendations, the buttocks should be covered as much as possible.A person's legs, on the contrary, should be open.
- Maintaining body proportions. For example, tall clients can choose a regular jacket option.
ADVICE. The universal length of the product is calculated by the formula: the lower edge halves the distance from the gate to the surface of the room.
In this case, the sleeve of the product should fall freely, without forming flaws in the form of folds and other irregularities in the material.
Ways to check the harmony of the created image
The correct choice of the length of the product allows you to emphasize the advantages and hide the imperfections of the human body.
- A shortened jacket can visually add height to a person, visually lengthening his legs, making a person visually lengthen them.
- A long product, on the contrary, will make the legs of a short man even shorter.
Therefore, an important recommendation is to visually observe the proportions of the human body.
ATTENTION! The ideal situation is when the bottom edge of the clothing visually divides the distance from the floor to the person’s neck into two approximately equal parts.
The thing looks ideal when the shirt cuff sticking out of the sleeve is against the background of the jacket, with the arm lowered. This should leave a small space.
The bottom of the shirt cuff should be slightly higher than the bottom. The size of this space can vary and depends on the length of the arms.
The presence of a large number of brands and stores makes it easy to choose a model to suit your taste. We hope that with the help of the recommendations in this article, choosing the right clothes will become much easier and more enjoyable.
