Everybody Loves Raymond: The Suit

We love a staple suit here at Johnny Bigg, and our bestselling Raymond Suit, available as a three piece in three different colours, has earned itself that status in spades. But what exactly is so great about the Raymond? Let's find out!

The Raymond Suit Jacket, Dress Pant, Slim Dress Pant and Waistcoat are all designed to keep you comfortable regardless of activity, whether you're sat at a desk all day, standing at a function, or getting your groove on, down at the dance floor of your mate's wedding.

We'll start at the top. The Two Button Suit Jacket is fully lined with a single back vent for ease of movement. The classic two button closure is easy to adjust at will, and the chest pocket and side pockets make carrying all the essentials a piece of cake. Complete your look with the Raymond Waistcoat to layer underneath, boasting five front pockets and an adjustable back strap.

Our Dress Pant features half lining (as in, down to the knee) on the front leg, which helps keep the structure and appearance of the pant, without restricting your movements. It also means you won't get too hot when wearing them for a full day (and night!). Not to mention the wrinkle resistant fabric, great for travelling, and the expandable elastic waistband to adjust perfectly to your body through any activity. Said simply, you'll no longer dread going to formal events! The Slim Elastic Pant has all these features in a slim leg fit, perfect for guys that prefer a more tailored took.

Did you know all our suits come with a free suit bag (perfect for keeping it safe on the move, and avoiding dust in your wardrobe between events), and free shipping! Plus if you’re looking to update your smart footwear, you’ll also snag a free shoehorn.

When you’ve got several events to dress up for, or have a formal workplace dress code, you may find yourself a little bored by the same look over and over again. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to have more fun with your outfit! Especially when you’re suiting up for an event like the races, there’s space for creative license.

The easiest way to make your suit more versatile is to switch up your shirt, tie, and accessories. A crisp white shirt can pair with a thin black tie, or go for a floral or paisley pattern. Switch it out for a bowtie instead! No tie? Don a floral shirt, unless you prefer checks, pinstripes, or a plain colour (like pink or blue). We generally suggest you match you belt to your shoes, so instead of a black leather belt and black dress shoes, wear a brown or tan belt with tan loafers. If you haven’t bought a reversable belt yet, they make switching things up even easier!

Dressing for a smart casual or semi-formal event? Leave the jacket at home! You can wear your usual shirt, or opt for a smart t-shirt  for a modern look. Alternatively, wear your suit jacket with chinos or denim to dress up the outfit. Between your selection of shirts and polos, you’ll have plenty of options!

The other feature about our Raymond Suit that we love is it’s three colours: black, charcoal, and navy. Black is classic and a failsafe when it comes to looking formal, whilst navy is timeless and looks great on everyone. Don’t forget about charcoal though, this softer take on the black suit is just as versatile and looks great with a light blue shirt. Whilst the regular Dress Pants come in all three colours, be mindful that if you’re looking for the Slim Dress Pant instead, it’s just in black and navy.

The Raymond Suit really can do it all. Find the full suit in sizes 42 to 58 and 42L to 50L in the suit jacket and waistcoat, and 36 to 54 and 34L to 48L in the pants. Head into store if you need assistance finding your perfect fit, we’re more than happy to help! We’ll also tailor your suit for free if any adjustments need to be made, so you’re looking your best.
