Chest.
The psychological effect of a well-designed suit should be to make you throw this out if you can. A fairly full cut chest to the jacket will ask to be filled, and you will be amazed at the difference this makes to your waistline.

Balance.
Balance is the ultimate test of a finished coat. It is really the hang, the look and the feel of the thing all combined in the one quality that make it a success or a failure - good balance. It should sit easily on the shoulders, hang evenly at the front and back, and look as though it belongs to you without fitting too closely. The list of faults that may throw a jacket, however well made, is so long and varied that there is no point in trying to be technical about something so intangible. To this, as to anything else that is designed and made, the one golden rule applies; if it looks right, it is right. You can judge for yourself in the glass.
