Our Signature Fit

THE SOHO SUIT

A timeless, ‘international’ fit – named for both New York and London’s Soho neighbourhoods – our Soho suit is a Paul Smith best seller and our most well-known suit.

Shoulder

Our modern take on a traditionally structured shoulder, with sharp padding and a classic shoulder roll for a sharper effect.

Waist

The torso is gently shaped and tailored through the waist to create a natural, comfortable silhouette.

Length

The Soho suit jacket is slightly shorter through the body with a straight hem which makes it especially flattering on shorter frames.

Pant Rise

An elegant low-rise fit that sits just below your natural waistline for a universally flattering and comfortable fit.

Leg Fit

Slightly relaxed through the thigh with gentle tapering through the thigh, knee and calf for a smart finish.

Hem

The Soho suit pants have a narrow hem for a neat break.

Our Easy Fit

THE BLOOMSBURY SUIT

More softly constructed and with extra length through the jacket, our Bloomsbury suit offers a slightly more relaxed fit for those who prefer a touch more room in their tailoring.

Shoulder

A soft, shoulder with minimal padding and no shoulder roll for a natural, organic fit that follows your natural posture.

Waist

The Bloomsbury jacket is tailored with a straighter but still shaped fit through the torso and is roomier through the chest with a wider lapel.

Length

The suit jacket is slightly longer in the body and uniform at the front and back for an elegantly elongated fit.

Pant Rise

Our contemporary take on a classic mid-rise fit for a comfortable but still smart fit.

Leg Fit

A straighter fit which allows for more room through the thigh and calf in a natural taper.

Hem

The Bloomsbury suit pants have a regular hem opening for a clean and classic break.

Our Slim Fit

THE KENSINGTON SUIT

Inspired by suits from the 1960s, our Kensington suit has a slimmer and altogether more streamlined silhouette. If you like the look, but want it less fitted, we recommend sizing up.

Shoulder

Our modern take on a traditionally structured shoulder, with sharp padding and a classic shoulder roll for a sharper effect.

Waist

Suppression and shaping through the waist with slimmer lapels which give the appearance of a more elongated torso.

Length

The jacket is slightly longer through the front with a slight cutaway which creates more flattering definition and gives the illusion of straighter posture.

Pant Rise

Slim and tapered through both the thigh, knee and calf for those with slender builds.
