The measurements that define it

An executive fit is cut with a slightly fuller chest and midsection than a slim fit — usually one to two inches of additional room at the waist — while retaining a tailored shoulder and a clean sleeve. The armhole sits high enough to move with the body; the yoke is engineered to keep the collar seated whether the jacket is on or off.

Who it's cut for

The executive fit is cut for the man who has stopped chasing trends and started building a wardrobe. It suits a broader chest, a real build, and a long day. It also suits the man who simply refuses to feel his shirt all day — no pulling, no gaping, no tug at the placket when he reaches for a glass.

Executive fit vs. classic vs. slim

• Classic — generous chest and waist, roomy sleeves. Comfortable, but reads dated under a modern suit.
• Slim — tapered aggressively. Elegant on lean frames; unforgiving on anyone else.
• Executive — tailored shoulders, engineered waist, easy chest. The cut that flatters most men in real life.

The Duke Edition Tailored house standard

Duke Edition is cut to a single house standard we call Tailored — a considered evolution of the executive fit. We keep the tailored shoulder and the engineered waist, then finish the chest and back with a touch more precision than a traditional executive cut allows. The result reads executive on a broader build and modern on a leaner one.

If your measurements sit outside the standard grade, we offer Made-to-Measure. Every shirt — standard or MTM — is individually numbered and hand-finished in the atelier.
