The suit is alluring in the back, "the origin of the vent and the impression it gives."

As the saying goes, “A man’s back speaks for itself,” and men and women alike admire a man who looks good in the back. In suit styles, one of the elements that greatly influences the impression of the back is the “vent,” but did you know that each type of vent has a different origin and impression?

Center vent ” light and sporty impression. Originates from riding jackets. A detail used in many American suits.”

The “center vent (single vent)” is most commonly seen in business suits. It is also known as ” horse-riding,” since it was originally designed for ease of movement in horseback riding. It is a detail that fits all types of business suits, but if we were to go out on a limb, we would say that it goes particularly well with single-breasted suits and suits that are slender and short in length. This detail is often used for suits of American brands in particular. For a light and sporty impression, we recommend the center vent.

What is a hook vent?

The ” hook vent “, a variation of the center vent, is a detail used in Ivy-style jackets and morning coats. It is not often used for business suits, but some men order it to add a sense of fun.

Side vents “Give an impression of dignity and class. Originally a detail to facilitate sword insertion and removal. Adopted in many English suits.

In business suits, side vents (double vents) are the second most common after center vents. It is said to be a remnant of a design to make it easier to insert and remove a saber hung at the waist, and is also known as a “sword suspension. This is a detail that is often used especially in suits made in England. Since there is a cut on both sides, it is easier to move than a center vent and eliminates the feeling of sticking out. It goes well with all kinds of business suits, but I dare say that it goes especially well with orthodox suits and double-breasted suits that are not too short in length. If you want to create dignity and style, side vents are recommended.

Unvented ” The oldest, most classic and dressy. An elegant detail often used in tuxedos and Classico Italia.

While the “center vent” and “side vents” introduced so far are details to enhance the functionality of “ease of movement,” the “unvented (ventless)” is the most classic and venerable design used for suits worn on official occasions such as social parties, where functionality is not required. The “unvented” suit is the most classic and venerable of all suits. It is a must-have detail for tuxedos and director’s suits, and is also often used for suits made by Classico Italia, which places great importance on classics. If you want to create a dressy and elegant atmosphere, unvented is the best choice.

Why not take your suit style a step further by paying attention to the ” vent ” that greatly changes the impression of the back view?
