Big and Tall Jackets

Finding the perfect jacket when you're a big and tall man can be challenging, but Hockerty is here to make the process easier and more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a sharp business jacket, a casual jacket, or a versatile piece to wear on various occasions, we have options that are custom-made to fit your unique measurements. Here’s everything you need to know about selecting the right jacket for your needs.

When it comes to choosing the right style of jacket, the key is to find a piece that complements your body type while enhancing your overall look. At Hockerty, we offer a wide range of styles that cater to big and tall men:

• Single-Breasted Jackets: A classic and versatile option that works well for both formal and casual settings. The single-breasted style offers a slimming effect, making it a great choice for big and tall men.

• Double-Breasted Jackets: If you’re looking for a more structured and formal look, a double-breasted jacket is ideal. This style can create a more defined silhouette, especially when tailored to your exact measurements.

At Hockerty, every jacket is made to order, ensuring that the style you choose is perfectly tailored to fit your body.

The choice of material is crucial when selecting a jacket, especially for big and tall men. The right fabric can enhance comfort and ensure a flattering fit:

• Wool: A classic choice for jackets, wool is durable, breathable, and provides a refined appearance. It’s suitable for both formal and business-casual settings. Wool jackets pair beautifully with tailored trousers or dress shirts.

• Cotton: Ideal for more casual jackets, cotton is lightweight and comfortable, making it perfect for warmer weather. Cotton jackets are versatile and can be paired with chinos or jeans for a relaxed look.

• Linen: For those hot summer days, linen is the go-to fabric. It’s breathable and offers a laid-back, stylish look. A linen jacket pairs well with linen trousers or chinos, providing a sophisticated yet comfortable outfit.

• Blends: Wool-cotton blends or wool-silk blends offer the best of both worlds, combining the durability of wool with the softness and breathability of cotton or silk. These are perfect for versatile jackets that can transition from the office to an evening out.

• Tweed: A heavier fabric, tweed is perfect for colder months. It offers a rugged, classic look that pairs well with jeans and boots for a stylish, outdoor-ready outfit.

Styling a big and tall jacket is all about balance and proportion. Here are some tips to help you look your best:

• With Trousers: Pair your jacket with well-fitted trousers that complement the colour and texture of your jacket. For a formal look, opt for tailored trousers. For a more casual vibe, chinos or even dark jeans work well.

• With Shirts: Choose a shirt that fits well and complements your jacket. A crisp white shirt is a timeless choice for formal occasions, while a patterned or colored shirt can add personality to your outfit. Ensure that the shirt fits well, especially at the shoulders and waist.

• With Jeans: For a smart-casual look, pair your jacket with jeans. Dark-wash jeans are a versatile choice that can be dressed up or down. Add a t-shirt or casual button-up shirt underneath for a polished yet relaxed look.

• Accessories: Don’t forget the finishing touches. A well-chosen tie, pocket square, or belt can elevate your outfit. For big and tall men, proportional accessories—like a wider tie or larger belt buckle—can complement your stature.
