Stop Wearing Your Jacket Wrong! (5 Tips For PERFECT Fit)
About this video
Centeno teaches the five critical areas for achieving a properly fitting casual jacket: shoulders, torso, sleeve length, sleeve width, and overall length. He explains how to assess each area and adjust sizing accordingly, emphasizing that proper fit enhances your silhouette while poor fit creates an unflattering appearance.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that shoulder seams must sit at the edge of the shoulder bone and cannot be altered later, making this the most critical fitting point when purchasing a jacket
- Centeno recommends the torso should fit close to the body without being baggy, but the appropriate tightness depends on layering needs and intended wear
- Centeno teaches that sleeve length should sit between the wrist bone and thumb joint, with jacket overall length varying by style (denim and bombers below the beltline, sports jackets covering the buttocks, trench coats to mid-thigh)
