Most men do not own a suit jacket that is actually doing them any favours in a meeting room. They own one that fits approximately, in a cloth that photographs fine but reads cheap under fluorescent light, with lapels that have aged in a direction nobody planned for. That is the real problem here. A meeting is a performance and the jacket is doing visible work whether you acknowledge that or not. We have been looking specifically at options that carry genuine authority without tipping into costume. Structured enough to mean business, but cut with enough modernity that you do not look like you borrowed it from 2009. Fabric weight matters considerably here. So does lapel width and how the chest sits without a full suit beneath it. These are jackets that make a room take you seriously before you have said a word. That is not a small thing.
