What are your three main fit types?Updated 4 months ago

We can group Samuelsohn and Heritage gold styles into three different fit categories: Classic, Contemporary & Trim. 

It’s important to note that these are generalized categories and the items can different in the exact fit type. It’s important to always double check the size chart of an item before purchase to ensure you will be satisfied with the feel.

Classic: A traditional business suit with a generous fit and traditional padding. The jacket is roomier in the arms and across the chest, and cut straight down the sides. The trouser offers a soft drape and a straight leg that’s generous in the thigh.

Contemporary: Our most popular fit for a reason: the naturally-flattering silhouette is roomy in the arms but tapered just enough towards the waist to give the jacket shape, while still remaining comfortable. The trousers are cut with the same rise as our Classic fit, with slightly less drape below the knee.

Trim: Our trim fit sits closer to the body at the chest, in the arms and towards the waist. The trousers are narrower to elongate the leg line and are cut with a lower rise than our Contemporary and Classic fits.
