How To Choose A Suit Jacket Lining For Made To Measure Suits

About this video

Sacawa explains the five lining options available when ordering a custom suit jacket—tone on tone, contrasting colors, non-statement patterns, statement patterns, and fully custom designs—and outlines the purposes linings serve, including structure, warmth, fit, and ease of wearing. He guides viewers through how to choose a lining based on whether they prioritize versatility or personal expression.

Key takeaways

• Sacawa identifies five key purposes of jacket linings: adding weight and structure, providing warmth, improving fit, concealing inner construction, and making the garment easier to put on
• Sacawa argues that the primary decision before selecting a lining is determining whether you want versatility or personality, as this guides all other choices
• Sacawa recommends tone-on-tone linings as timeless and versatile, but notes that subtle patterns within the same color family can add interest while maintaining a classic look
• Sacawa suggests using color wheel generators and recommends the book ‘A Dictionary of Color Combinations’ to explore harmonious color pairings for contrasting linings
• Sacawa advises viewing pattern samples in person before committing, as small swatches can appear bolder than they look when fully lining a finished jacket
