Story & heritage
Hart Schaffner Marx traces its tailoring story to Chicago in 1887, when Harry and Max Hart opened a men’s clothier that grew into a major American suit maker. The brand’s own history highlights practical tailoring innovations, including fitting suits for different body types, zipper trousers and tropical-weight wool suits.
This current Chicago Classic Fit suit carries the brand’s most traditional fit idea: HSM describes the Chicago Fit as easy-fitting and built for comfort and longevity, with updated lapel width, gorge height and jacket length to keep the classic outline relevant.
Materials & craft
Dillard’s lists this two-piece suit with a single-breasted notch-lapel jacket, two-button closure and flap pockets, paired with straight-leg flat-front trousers, button/zip closure and unfinished hems for tailoring.
The retailer’s product details specify a wool/Lycra blend and dry-clean care, while HSM’s own craft page emphasizes strong seams, careful lining work and resilient button thread as part of the suit’s construction language.
How to choose & style
Choose black for formal business or navy when the suit needs to move between office, wedding and travel wardrobes. The fuller Chicago shape works best with a classic dress shirt, medium-width tie and polished oxford or loafer.
Keep alterations intentional: let the generous chest and thigh stay comfortable, then refine sleeve and trouser length for a clean line.
