A lot more goes into your custom suit jacket than getting the perfect fit. There are details like functional buttonholes, pick stitching, linings, felt back collars and lapels. There are also different style choices to be made for vents and pockets.
Suit Vent Guide
Vents are an important detail. Yes, they change the style of your suit. But they also change how your suit looks on you and the amount of movement you’re afforded while wearing it.
For instance, here are two popular suit vent options we provide.

Suit Pockets
Pockets are a staple in every suit. A place to hold your money clip? Yes. A place to hold your unwrapped chocolate? Absolutely not. There are multiple choices that go into picking the perfect pockets.
Jacket Pocket Types
Straight pockets and hacking pockets are two popular pocket types found on suit jackets.

Straight Pocket
This is the most common jacket pocket. Found on the hip, the line runs parallel to the waist. For those who are tall and/or skinny, this can add some heft to the torso.

Hacking Pocket
Angled in and up, the hacking pocket tends to draw the eye in and up toward the sternum. It also adds a little height and a lot of style.

Ticket Pocket
An optional pocket for added accessibility, the ticket pocket is the small pocket placed just above the right main hip pocket. Half the size of the pocket below, it’s perfect for small items that could easily be lost.

Flapped Pocket
The most common pocket style for business suits, the flapped pocket comes in either of the two types mentioned above. It’s created by sewing a piece of fabric slightly above the pocket to give added protection to whatever you’re carrying.

Besom Pocket
The sleekest of the pockets, the besom is merely a slit. It’s perfect for keeping your suit silhouette shaped to your body and comes with an option to give the pocket a curve or keep it straight.
