Traditionally suits have always been purchased as an ensemble of jacket and pants in order to ensure a perfect match in the materials between the jacket and trousers.
With the advent of improved quality control in the manufacturing process of garments, buying jackets and pants separtely to make a complete suit has become a reality.
Recently mens suit separates have escaped from the basement of the fashion world to become a viable alternative to purchasing a nested suit, which results in huge savings in time and money for the buyer.
What are the advantages of mens suit separates?
1. A better fit without extensive alterations.
A man with overly broad shoulders or conversely, a larger waist can purchase the exact size jacket and pants he needs off-the-shelf, without the limit of the usual 6 or 7 inch drop of nested suits. Many times tailoring a nested suit available in the store to the individual’s body shape is not even possible.
2. Suit is available for immediate use.
For customers who need to wear a suit the same or even next day, a suit separate may offer the only solution. The trousers are finished, as is the jacket, so by choosing the correct fitting brand and size the suit is ready to be worn immediately.
3. Trousers or jackets can replaced in case they are damaged.
A client can buy two or even three trousers for the matching jacket at the time of purchase. Or get another matching jacket if the original one is accidentally ruined. When either the pants or jacket for a nested suit are damaged, the entire suit needs to be replaced.
