Key Morning Suit Alterations

1. Morning Coat (Tailcoat) Adjustments

  • Sleeve Length – Should show ¼ to ½ inch of shirt cuff (like a dinner suit). 
  • Waist Suppression – The coat should nip slightly at the waist but not restrict movement. 
  • Tail Length – The tails should end just above the back of the knees (rarely altered unless bespoke). 
  • Shoulders & Chest – Avoid major adjustments here; padding/structure is hard to modify. 
  • 2. Waistcoat (Vest) Alterations 

    • Length – Should cover the waistband of the trousers but not overlap the tails. 
    • Sides – Can be taken in or let out for a snug (not tight) fit. 
    • Armholes – High-cut to prevent visibility under the coat. 
     3. Striped Morning Trousers 

    • Waist Height – Should sit at the natural waist (higher than modern suits). 
    • No Belt Loops – Traditionally worn with braces (suspenders), so side adjusters may be added if needed. 
    • Trouser Break – Slight or no break, with a clean drape (often slightly tapered but not skinny). 
    4. Lapel & Collar Fit 

    • Peak Lapels – Should lie flat against the chest without gaping. 
    • Shirt Collar – Ensure the morning coat’s collar sits neatly over your dress shirt.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    For your suit alteration appointment, bring the full suit—including jacket, trousers, and waistcoat, if needed—even if only one piece requires changes. This helps us keep the proportions right. Wear a fitted dress shirt so we can check sleeve and jacket length, and bring the shoes you plan to wear to get the trouser break just right. If you wear a belt or specific undergarments like shapewear or an undershirt, bring those too for a more accurate fit.

    Most suits can be tailored to fit better, but the amount of adjustment possible depends on things like the seam allowance, fabric type, and how the suit is constructed. Bespoke and high-quality suits usually offer more room for alterations compared to ready-to-wear styles. Our tailors will assess your suit and let you know what changes can be made to achieve the best fit. Copy Ask Explain
