Give Yourself a Break

Let's take a moment to examine a few hemming options for gentlemen.  Women know the difference between tea-length and mini skirts but men have a lot to think about when they hike up their hemline too.  Here is a brief breakdown so you'll be prepared the next time someone asks "Quarter, half or full, sir?"
  • Quarter Break: Pants or slacks slightly touch the shoetops
  • Half Break: More pronounced draping in the trouser front and is recommended by most American tailors
  • Full Break: Trousers come to a rest at the instep and bellow, currently the top choice for many Italian designers.
