Suits built for the rooms that matter

A suit is judged in the first four seconds, before you have said anything. That is the whole job of it. Most men own one suit and hope it covers everything, and most of the time it nearly does. The gap between nearly and completely is what this collection is for.

Every Varrison suit is cut in a tailored fit and arrives ready to wear, made from high quality fabric.

Choosing your suit

• Two-piece suits: the versatile default. Jacket and pants, correct at almost any dress code from business casual upward.
• Three-piece suits: adds a matching vest. The stronger choice for weddings and formal evenings, and the one that still looks complete once the jacket comes off.
• Double-breasted suits: a broader, more structured line with peak lapels. Confident rather than conservative.
• Linen suits: built for heat. Breathable, light, and honest about the way linen creases.

Choosing your color

If you are buying your first suit, buy navy. It covers interviews, weddings, funerals and evenings out, and it works in daylight and artificial light equally. Charcoal gray should be the second. Between those two you are covered for nearly every occasion that calls for a suit, and everything after that (brown, green, linen, black) is about range rather than necessity.

How a suit should fit

The jacket shoulder should end where your shoulder ends, with no divot or overhang; this is the one thing a tailor cannot easily fix and therefore the thing to get right at purchase. The collar should sit flat against your shirt collar without gapping. About half an inch of shirt cuff should show below the jacket sleeve. You should be able to fasten the jacket and slide a flat hand inside without strain.

Order by your chest measurement in inches, taken over a dress shirt at the fullest point.
