Full details
This guide is for the discerning individual seeking a stylish, vintage-inspired three-piece suit. The key benefit is its authentic 1920s design with modern tailoring for a comfortable, flattering fit. A potential caveat is that the trousers come with a regular 32" inside leg, which may require adjustment by a local tailor. This suit includes a blazer, trousers, and waistcoat, crafted from a navy soft-touch, wool-feel polyester-viscose blend fabric with striking tan check detailing. It offers a tailored fit, sitting between slim and regular.

FAQs
What does '3 Piece Suit' mean?
A three-piece suit includes a matching jacket (blazer), trousers, and a waistcoat (vest) all made from the same fabric and pattern.
What material is the suit made from?
The suit is made from a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Viscose, designed to have a soft, wool-like feel.
How should I care for this suit?
Due to the fabric blend, dry cleaning is the recommended method of care to maintain the suit's structure and appearance.
What is the fit of the suit?
The suit has a tailored fit, which is designed to be between a slim fit and a regular fit, offering a modern silhouette.
Can the trouser length be adjusted?
Yes, the trousers come with a regular 32" inside leg and can be easily adjusted (hemmed) by a local tailor to achieve the perfect length for your height.
What inspired the design of this suit?
The design is inspired by the classic fashion of the 1920s era, evoking styles seen in popular culture like "Peaky Blinders" and "The Great Gatsby."

Troubleshooting
Suit feels too tight or too loose.
The suit is designed for a tailored fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart. Minor adjustments to the waist or seat of the trousers can often be made by a tailor. If the blazer fit is significantly off, consider if a different size is more appropriate.
Trousers are too long or too short.
The trousers come with a standard 32" inside leg. If they are too long, they can be easily hemmed by a local tailor. If they are too short, a tailor may be able to let down the hem if sufficient fabric was left during manufacturing, though this is less common.
Fabric appears creased after storage.
Hang the suit in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or use a garment steamer on a low setting. If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting inside out with a pressing cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This is a ready-to-wear suit. The primary 'setup' involves ensuring the correct fit.

The blazer and waistcoat are designed for a tailored fit, so selecting the correct size based on your chest and waist measurements is crucial.
Care Instructions:
- Material: 65% Polyester, 35% Viscose.
- Cleaning: Due to the fabric composition and tailored nature of the suit, dry cleaning is highly recommended to maintain its shape and prevent shrinkage or damage.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron the suit inside out. A pressing cloth is advised, especially for the outer fabric, to avoid any heat marks.
- Storage: Hang the suit on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger to preserve its shape. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable garment bag.
