Your Guide to Suits for Big and Tall Men
At HKT Clothiers, we believe that style has no size limit. Whether you're broader in the shoulders, taller than average, or carry your strength in the middle, every man deserves a suit that fits just right, and feels even better. That’s where we come in. With decades of experience crafting custom suits for big and tall men in Atlanta, we’ve tailored the process to perfection.
Here’s how we make suits that are as individual as the men who wear them.
Suits for Every Shape and Size
Big and tall doesn’t mean one-size-fits-all. Our approach is rooted in balance, proportion, and subtle design tweaks that make a world of difference. Let’s break it down by body type.
For the Gentleman with a Bit More in the Middle
A common concern? Bulk. The solution? Clean lines, smart tailoring, and visual balance.
Jacket Tips:
-
Think scale. Wider lapels and larger pockets create harmony across the torso.
-
Slanted pockets subtly slim the midsection while guiding the eye upward.
-
Fit matters. Too much fabric adds bulk, our tailors cut close without clinging.
Pant Tips:
-
Choose your rise wisely. Go for high-rise trousers or pants that sit comfortably below the belly, never in-between.
-
Suspenders over belts. Trust us. They’re more flattering and more comfortable.
-
Flat-front or pleated pants with the right taper elongate the leg and create a streamlined silhouette.
Fabric & Pattern Advice:
-
Heavier fabrics like mohair or English wool offer structure without adding weight.
-
Patterns? Bring them on. When done right, checks and herringbone work beautifully.
For the Tall Man Who’s Tired of Short Sleeves and High Hems
Being tall should be an advantage, if your suit fits. With our custom tailoring, it does.
Jacket Tips:
-
Two-button jackets break up long torsos.
-
Lower lapel breaks create a better balance.
-
Details matter. Add ticket pockets, pocket squares, and show a little cuff for visual rhythm.
Pant Tips:
-
Tapered trousers offer structure without swallowing your frame.
-
Visible belts and turn-ups (cuffs) break up height and show personal style.
Fabric & Pattern Advice:
-
Opt for medium to heavyweight fabrics that drape with ease.
-
Our extensive cloth library has the perfect options, whether you’re headed to the boardroom or a black-tie affair.
For Broad, Built, or Muscular Frames
Muscle is a privilege. Let your suit complement it, not compete with it.
Jacket Tips:
-
Custom is key. Broad shoulders and tapered waists deserve a bespoke fit.
-
Wider lapels and chest pockets add visual balance to a powerful build.
-
Single-breasted vests with shaping darts fit seamlessly over the chest.
Pant Tips:
-
Room where you need it. Extra space through the thigh and seat, with a clean taper below the knee.
-
Double pleats for ease, without adding width.
-
High-waisted styles flatter your shape and elevate the whole look.
Fabric & Pattern Advice:
-
Heavier wools drape better over muscle and keep everything in place.
-
No bunching at the ankles, just a smooth, precise break at the shoe.
