How A Suit Should Fit | Buy A Proper Fitted Suit | What Good Fitting Suits Look Like Video Tutorial

About this video

Centeno teaches men how to evaluate suit fit across 11 key areas, from shoulders and neck to jacket length and trouser cuffs. He explains which alterations are feasible and affordable versus which indicate a poor fit that shouldn’t be purchased, helping buyers avoid costly tailoring mistakes.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues shoulder fit is critical and nearly impossible to adjust significantly, so buyers should prioritize getting shoulders right off-the-rack rather than relying on tailoring
• Centeno recommends chest and torso adjustments should stay within 1-1.5 inches; larger changes compromise jacket proportions and line, making custom tailoring necessary for men with extreme measurements
• Centeno identifies four warning signs to avoid: shoulder rumpling, excessive shoulder divots, poor sleeve pitch, and an ‘X’ wrinkle from over-tightness—as these indicate expensive fixes or fundamental fit problems
