Just as there are various methods of tailoring, there are also styles that differ regionally. This is due to different climates and cultures in the world, causing "house style" cuts of the trade.

===British cut===

The silhouette of a British cut suit is influenced by military tailoring, with a defined waist and shoulders. The target image is that of an upper-class gentleman.{{r|roetzel}}

The British cut of tailoring can be defined by various ways of inner construction. Since the [[United Kingdom]] has a cooler climate than (for example) the Mediterranean, the cut of the British is heavier, and bears a greater military influence. This style of canvassing has 3 layers, a wool or camel-hair canvas for the body, a horsehair chest piece for the breast area, and a flannel domette for a more [[masculine]] pronounced bulk. The shoulders of the British are more heavily padded. The fabrics used by the British are in the range of 9–13 oz due to the colder climate. This style of cut can be credited to [[Henry Poole & Co]], and [[H. Huntsman & Sons]]. The British are also credited in creating their ever-so-popular trademark, the [[Drape suit| Drape cut]], credited to [[Frederick Scholte]] who trained the founders of [[Anderson & Sheppard]].

===Italian cut===

An Italian cut suit offers a flattering shape with soft tailoring, aiming for the most attractive appearance for the wearer. A suit jacket in northern Italy will usually have a square shoulder, while in southern Italy, the [[Neapolitan tailoring]] preference is for a more natural shoulder.{{r|roetzel}}

Like the British cut, the Italian cut is defined by its inner construction. Since [[Italy]] lies in southern Europe and has a warm climate, the Italian tailors developed a cut that was light and cooler to coincide with the conditions. What they developed is called the Italian/European cut. This cut is more light, with fabrics ranging from 7–9 oz. This way of doing canvas has a range of 1-2 layers, a linen body canvas, and a light horsehair canvas. The Italian shoulder is more natural, and sometimes has a "shirt sleeve" with a roping head. The cut is also slimmer than the British, with a more casual setting. [[Cesare Attolini]] invented the lighter Neapolitan construction. The tailors credited with popularizing these cuts include [[Brioni (brand)| Brioni]] and [[Rubinacci]].

Bespoke suits created by an Italian tailor are called ''su misura''. The average cost of a ''su misura'' suit is between {{Euro|1,700}} and {{Euro|3,000}}, although one might cost more than {{Euro|5,000}} from the finest tailoring houses. A master tailor can create a suit in approximately 40 hours. The number of tailors in Italy decreases at a rate of 8 percent annually, with fewer than 750 tailors as of 2016.{{r|carby}}

===American cut===
The American cut of tailoring is a mix of the Italian and the British ways. The American cut is more baggy and full, with a natural shoulder that is lightly padded. American tailoring usually involves doing light canvas, where only the canvas and the flannel domette are used. The most well-known cut developed by the Americans is the [[Ivy League]] cut. The tailors credited with this cut remain anonymous.{{r|gazette}}
