#1. The Go well with

Harvey is just about ALWAYS seen in an costly swimsuit. Gabriel Macht, who performs him, says: ‘He’s a person of favor… we actually wished him to be this man’s man. An actual masculine, robust, Steve McQueen-type of man who may pull off a 3 piece swimsuit and make it a contemporary factor, extensive lapels and all.’

How does Harvey pull off his fits? Utilizing two issues you possibly can be taught proper right here at RMRS – confidence and the model pyramid of match, cloth, and performance. The match of his fits is all the time on level, which takes additional effort for males with a tall physique kind (Gabriel Macht is 6’0.5″/183cm.) The materials are high quality – early season fits have been principally darkish excessive twisted worsted wool, however just lately he is sporting silk-wool blends that add an uncommon shine.

And as for operate (appropriateness for the state of affairs)? As a workaholic hotshot lawyer, Harvey lives for high-powered formal conditions the place a swimsuit is required. He would not swimsuit up when it is outright inappropriate… which implies we see him in one thing else a superb 2% of the time.

Harvey has a medium distinction complexion and clothes nicely for it, most frequently pairing grey, charcoal, and infrequently navy or black fits with white shirts. Grey and white kind a modern, basic mixture that exhibits he means severe enterprise.

The place a person with only one or two fits would possibly stick with strong colours and perhaps a pinstripe, Harvey has a wardrobe of various swimsuit patterns together with sharkskin, Prince of Wales checks and stripes – he prefers the bolder rope stripes to pinstripes (pinstripes are only one thread extensive, rope stripes are a number of.)

He wears a slim match with excessive armholes and robust structured shoulders – highlighting his athletic physique. Large peak lapels give him a robust broad-shouldered ‘v’ form – the important thing to sporting them like he does is to get the gorge of the lapel not too excessive and never too low. If it peaks out over your shoulders, it’s an excessive amount of, and whether it is too low it seems to be too old style.

Peak lapels are extra formal – he units himself aside by sporting them (besides generally when he is in a three-piece swimsuit, which is extra formal anyway). As a result of they’re extra widespread on a tuxedo, on a enterprise swimsuit they recommend authority and/or vanity.

Taking a deeper dive into swimsuit jacket particulars, the large flap pockets on his jackets are somewhat uncommon with peak lapels; jetted pockets are extra regular.

You would possibly count on to see a three-button swimsuit on him as a result of he is a ‘buttoned up’ character and it might swimsuit his tall athletic construct. Nevertheless, Harvey is aware of TWO buttons are the only option for a single-breasted swimsuit with peak lapels. It is a basic elegant look that is been round for the reason that Nineteen Twenties – two buttons go away room for longer lapels and intensify them extra.

His jacket cuffs, alternatively, are as formal and buttoned-up as they get, with 4 buttons on every. The extra buttons on the cuffs, the extra formal the jacket, with single buttons denoting a sports activities jacket.

Pants are slim however not tight, with an ironed crease down the entrance, no pleats, no break and normally no cuffs. This fits his strict character – very neat and no fuss.

#2. The Shirts

Harvey principally wears plain white costume shirts – once more, essentially the most formal shade. He additionally favors pale blue, and infrequently a gingham or stripe. The tall semi-spread collars intensify his ‘v’ form.

His shirts are very nicely fitted and all the time let a sliver of cuff present outdoors his jacket. He normally prefers easy basic button cuffs, however sometimes goes for the fancier French cuffs and cufflinks.

#3. The Equipment

“Get your skinny tie out of my face and get to work.”

Harvey’s ties are all the time silk – navy grenadine is a favourite.  Darkish purple and black are different favourite colours. His look is VERY monochrome – it is a part of the character.

His ties fluctuate between 3 and three.5 inches extensive, a basic width. He would not put on something too younger and stylish. His wider ties and lapels distinction with Mike’s skinny ones and make him look extra highly effective.

He favors the full Windsor tie knot – a robust, formal, ‘severe enterprise’ knot that marks him out as a man who is aware of find out how to costume and appears nice along with his extensive lapels and semi-spread collars. He is hardly ever seen with no dimple in his ties, exhibiting he is aware of find out how to costume and pays consideration to the main points. The one time his tie dimple is off heart, Donna notices one thing is fallacious!

With a tux he wears a diamond-pointed bow tie as a substitute of the conventional form. That is quirkier than you’d count on from him, but it surely’s like the height lapels – sharp and pointed – which fits his aggressive and incisive thoughts.

He all the time wears a pocket sq. in a sq. Presidential fold, normally white or grey. A white pocket sq. in a sq. fold is as formal as they arrive and fits his businesslike, no-nonsense picture. You will not see him with a flower in his lapel – it is a onerous and sharp look, nothing comfortable or romantic on this determinedly unemotional man. To complete the look, he chooses easy and daring metallic cufflinks.

Earlier within the collection, Harvey was seen sporting a daring assertion chronograph watch with a leather-based strap – a standing image meant to mark him out as a profitable man. The watch has since disappeared due to the technical constraints of filming for TV. Gabriel Macht says:

‘As nice because the present is, it actually doesn’t lend itself to element. Aside from some necklaces you would possibly see Jessica put on, you don’t see any jewellery.’

#4. The Footwear

Due to the character of TV, you do not typically see Harvey’s footwear, and so they’re not an enormous focus of his costume. He is been seen in black cap-toed derbies, and black or brown oxford brogues – all basic good costume footwear, though brown full brogues are a bit extra informal than you’d count on from him.
