Slim fit gets misrepresented constantly and most men have the ill-fitting jackets to prove it. There is a version of slim fit that works beautifully: clean through the chest, a shoulder seam that sits exactly where it should, a suppressed waist that follows the body without grabbing at it. Then there is the version that cuts across the upper back, pulls at the button, and makes you look like you borrowed it from a smaller man. We have spent considerable time separating the two. What we are looking for specifically is a jacket that reads sharp rather than constricted, that moves with you rather than against you, and that holds its line whether you are wearing it to a wedding or a client meeting. Sleeve length and chest suppression are where most manufacturers get it wrong. The jackets in here get it right. Slim fit, worn well, is still one of the cleaner things a man can put on.
