===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]].
