Suit Construction
All Harvie and Hudson suits are designed in a classic cut, which usually means they are generously cut around the shoulders and waist. It’s the best body shape for any gentleman that wants a comfortable suit. Our suit jacket has two corozo buttons with four buttons on the sleeves for added decor. Our buttons have excellent durability and scratch resistance. It also has padded shoulders in a military style, which gives it a formal look, perfect for any occasion. To finish the look of our suit jackets, we add straight pockets to them.
The matching suit trousers are flat fronted, which makes the modern man’s silhouette more smooth and straight. Our added belt loops allows you to wear a belt if necessary.
1) Fit
Getting the right fit is your number one priority - you want a suit that is comfortable to wear and has a multi-purpose use. A suit that can be worn to different occasions is always ideal.

We also offer alterations if any adjustments are needed or if you have other personal touches to add to your suit.
2) Style and Colour

Our collection offers Navy and Grey Suits, which are suits that are an absolute necessity for the modern man. They are classic and versatile suits to have in your wardrobe. A Navy and Grey Suit can be used for most occasions including every day use for work or business. Think of what kind of impression you want to make? That will help you decide on the colour.

3) What is the occasion?
Another factor to consider is where you’re going to wear it. If it’s for a particular event, then make sure you know the dress code or if there are any colour themes to be aware of then let us know, this will help us get you the perfect suit for you.
For example, a black tie occasion requires you to wear our black dinner jacket with its matching black trousers. A must is a black bow tie and white handkerchief in the jacket’s breast pocket. If it’s a wedding, then any of our suits are suitable, as long as you’ve taken dress codes into consideration (maybe re-read the wedding invite again, just in case). You could even try wearing a three piece suit with our contrasting waistcoats.
There are no restrictions with us, so let us help you get the perfect suit. If none of our ready-to-wear suits are suitable, then we highly recommend you book an appointment for a Made-to-Measure Suit services, which is managed by our store manager Matthew Beadle.
