About our English Suits
It is probably the first style we think of when we talk about suit and the most codified because of its origins dating back to the military uniform. An English suit can be worn on any occasion. At work, on weekends or at a wedding, it will always be perfectly adapted. The English suit has survived the ages and has established itself as a classic. This style highlights British elegance.
What defines an English suit?
An English suit is characterized by its structured silhouette, padded shoulders, and defined waist. Rooted in Savile Row tradition, it creates a powerful, authoritative look with clean lines and impeccable tailoring. The jacket typically features a two-button front, notch lapels, and flap pockets – details that have defined British elegance for centuries.
How is an English suit different from Italian?
While Italian suits favor softer construction and natural shoulders, English suits offer more structure. The chest canvas is fuller, shoulders have defined padding, and the waist is more suppressed. This creates a V-shaped silhouette that projects confidence and authority. English suits are ideal for men who want a polished, professional appearance.
What occasions suit an English style?
English suits excel in formal business environments, boardrooms, and professional settings. They're equally appropriate for weddings, galas, and any occasion where a commanding presence matters. The structured look conveys tradition, reliability, and attention to detail – qualities valued in both business and social contexts.
What fabrics work best for English suits?
Traditional choices include fine worsted wools, flannels, and tweeds. Navy, charcoal, and classic gray are quintessential colors. At Hockerty, you can choose from over 500 fabrics to create your perfect English suit, from lightweight summer wools to substantial autumn weights.
Why choose a custom English suit from Hockerty?
