Turnbull Asser Suit

Getting married on Saturday and been getting some Turnbull and Asser bits and Bobs, bow ties, tux shirt studs and a suit, not for the wedding as wearing a tux, but can't decide if I am happy with the cuff length or not.

    Congrats on getting married! Overall the suit jacket looks great. The sleeve should be lengthened a little. The custom is to show 1/4 to 1/2 inch of shirt cuff. I like to be more on the 1/2 inch side of it. More than that looks excessive, and not showing any shirt cuff at all exposes the jacket cuffs to unnecessary wear.

    And please don't fasten the bottom button of the jacket. It's not meant to be fastened (button and buttonhole are spread apart) and disrupts the lines of the jacket. Connery only does it a few times as a mistake.

    Ideal there is not loads of material, that's the only thing. Yeh I wouldn't normally button the bottom button, most of my suits are Paul Smith and I just wear the standard length sleeve but want to get this right.

    Thanks for the congrats, thankfully she has accepted I'm a Bond fan and she has stated I might be allowed my Aston yet :)

    It doesn't look like you need that much material, maybe half an inch. My tailor has extended sleeves that didn't have much outlet by attaching additional cloth to the inside.

    I would say to lengthen the cuffs with 1 cm.

    Only if you can do it in person. It's better to have a tailor who can do it in person and get it perfect. Your arms may not be exactly the same in length.

    Most of us are asymmetrical. The shoulder of your dominant arm is likely a bit lower than the other shoulder, and that will show up in your sleeve length. This is especially true for those of us under 45/50 who have worked by holding a PC mouse for the majority of our career.

    A tailor will match up your jacket's sleeves by measuring backwards from the tip of your thumb.

    I would have no problem with the cuffs. Looks good. You can really "shoot the cuff" Sinatra style.
