Getting the right length

The right trouser length depends on your shoes and how you want the trousers to fall. That is why it helps to try them on in the shop with the shoes you will wear, so we can mark the length precisely.

For jackets, the rule of thumb is that about 1 cm of shirt cuff should show below the jacket sleeve.
