Alexander McQueen

Work from the shoulder first. On a jacket cut this sharply the shoulder seam has to land on your own shoulder, because it is the one measurement a tailor cannot easily change. Chest and waist can usually be let out or taken in a little, and sleeve length almost always can. Measure a jacket you already wear, laid flat, seam to seam across the chest, and compare that against the listed measurements rather than going by the size label — a suppressed waist reads smaller than the same nominal size cut straight.

Sharper than a traditional British suit, though it draws on that tradition. The shoulder is set high and defined, the chest is kept clean, and the waist is taken in further than a classic cut would allow, which gives the jacket its recognisable upright line. Historical references such as military fastenings and ceremonial detailing arrive as construction rather than trim. Expect a jacket that shapes the torso rather than skimming it.
