Thus, it is important to choose a quality suit with great craftsmanship that will help differentiate you from the crowd.

Types of Canvas

Half Canvas

A half canvas suit jacket has a canvas layer in only the upper part of the jacket while a thinner interlining is used for the lower half. This gives structure across the chest and shoulders while keeping the lower half a bit lighter and more flexible.

Structured Chest & Lapel

Adds shape and support to the chest and lapels for a clean, tailored look. This added structure helps the jacket chest sit properly and the lapels to roll nicely, rather than flaring out.

Lightweight Comfort

Since the lower half of the jacket has less structure, this makes the jacket lighter in weight and more breathable, especially when in warmer climates.

Great Value

Requiring less handwork and material than a full canvas, these suits come at a more accessible price point while still offering excellent quality.

Types of Canvas

Full Canvas

A full canvas suit jacket has the canvas layer running through the entire front of the jacket, from the shoulders all the way down to the hem. For such suits, the canvas interlining is sewn into the jacket front panels and lapels from top to bottom in a way that the whole front of the jacket is supported by the canvas structure and not just the chest. This allows the canvas jacket to drape elegantly on your body from chest to waist without any interruption.

Both half canvas and full canvas jackets will give you a handsome, well-structured look. If you want lightweight comfort and great value, half canvas is probably right for you.

No matter half or full, it’s all about finding the construction that matches your lifestyle, climate, and how you like your suit to feel.
