A vintage suit often shows a level of craftsmanship you rarely see in today’s off-the-peg clothing: a full lining, handwork in the lapels and fabrics of heavy wool or tweed. In this category we gather suits, blazers with matching trousers and other sets for men. The selection is small and changes often, because good vintage suits are scarce.
Every era has its own silhouette. Suits from the 70s often have wide lapels and a slightly flared leg, while 80s and 90s pieces show broader shoulders and a looser fit. That’s exactly what makes a vintage suit recognisable and different from what hangs in shops today.
With a suit, fit is everything. That’s why we measure both jacket and trousers ourselves: shoulder width, chest, sleeve length, waist and inside leg are listed on the product page. Small alterations, such as shortening sleeves or taking in the trousers, are usually straightforward for a tailor.
A vintage blazer also works on its own: over a jumper from our vintage knitwear, with vintage jeans or with a shirt from shirts and tops. That way you get more wear out of one piece. Outdoors, add a wool overcoat from vintage jackets and coats.
With a vintage suit, look for the details that give away its era: lapel width, the number of buttons, pocket placement and whether the trousers have turn-ups. A double-breasted jacket looks more formal than a single-breasted one. Wearing the blazer with trousers in a different shade or a roll-neck underneath gives the suit a more relaxed feel. Also explore the full range of men’s vintage clothing.
Compare the measured shoulder width, chest and sleeve length with a blazer that fits you well. Also see our size guide.
Often, yes. Shortening sleeves and trouser legs or taking in the waist is usually quite doable for a tailor.
