Full cut suits, like sack suits, have waists that are not tapered. European cut suits taper as the suit drops from your shoulders to your seat. The Drop is a technical term that defines the difference between a man's suit size and his waist. If a suit has the current average of a six-inch drop, it means that a 40 Regular suit will come with a pair of 34 inch waist trousers. The Gorge is a technical term that defines the distance between the shoulders of the suit and the first button.
Gorges change from season to season, and are just a function of personal and designer style.
A high gorge means the first button is placed high on the suit. Check your Buttons Tug at your buttons before you buy the suit. Make sure they're sewn on well, and none of them are dangling.

Although the fashions from Milan and Paris are pushing the three button jacket, the two button jacket will remain the style for this Fall's job interview schedules.
