Introduction
A suit jacket that does not fit perfectly can ruin an otherwise great look. The good news: most jacket fit issues can be corrected by an experienced tailor. Roger from Raymik Custom Tailor explains exactly what jacket alterations are possible in Toronto, what they cost, and what cannot be done.
Suit Jacket Alterations That Are Possible
Jacket Waist Suppression — CAD $90
Taking in the sides of a jacket to create a more tailored, fitted silhouette. The most common alteration for off-the-rack jackets. Significant improvement possible — up to 3-4cm on each side.
Jacket Sleeve Shortening — CAD $80
Shortening the sleeve length so the correct amount of shirt cuff shows (approximately 1.5cm). One of the most noticeable fit improvements on a jacket.
Jacket Length Shortening — CAD $140
Shortening the overall length of the jacket. More complex than sleeve shortening. Best results when shortening by no more than 3-4cm.
Jacket Sleeve Tapering — CAD $60
Slimming the width of the sleeves for a more modern fit. Particularly effective on older or more traditional cut jackets.
Jacket Back Suppression
Taking in the back seam for a more fitted appearance from behind. Usually done alongside waist suppression.
Suit Jacket Alterations That Are Difficult or NOT Recommended
- Shoulder width: Very complex and expensive. Usually not worth attempting on an off-the-rack jacket.
- Making a jacket larger: Limited by available seam allowance. Usually only 1-2cm is possible.
- Chest width: Difficult and expensive. A new jacket is often better value.
