    Malaysian parents. They always ask you to buy a size larger. Man, I have had to shake off this habit when I started changing my style. Now, all my clothings are so damn well fitted.

    Good advise. If you have not done so you should do a video on how to store a suit. I do not wear suits often and the other day I pulled my suit out of the closet and a moth destroyed the suit. It was in a garment bag too. I had to get a new suit. I now have a better garment bag with a cedar hanger and cedar blocks in my closet.

    I'm finally graduating from college this saturday. I bought a suit for the occasion last year when I was actually supposed to do it. but I have like no idea on sizes, and my pants were simply too tight. and the jacket AND waistcoat is a bit too tight because I may have gained a few pounds. the jacket is slim fit but it still fits well. he's right, if it is a formal event you can't really do much with a formal suit. like I am too lazy to go look for anything else and I have to realize that taking my stuff to the cleaners may take some time. SO for last resort, I can either just wear a basic blue dress shirt which is classic fit and fits GOOD, with a black tie and a nice belt, OR just keep the jacket and just not button it up. my combination is a navy blue suit with a light blue dress shirt. ODDLY enough i tried going to H&M and the associate told me that there were no more suits because people bought them for graduation or funerals. YIKES.

    I just got a sport coat tailored and it was only taken in at the sides but is now too tight through the back. When I do the handshake test and hug test now it really pulls against my back. I think the armholes are too high. So the question I have is if I bring the jacket back to the tailor, could she let out the jacket some more or would she have cut off that material and thrown it away? Also is there an easy way for me to check to see if that fabric is still there by looking under the lining?
    thank you

    Antonio, should a suit jacket vs a blazer fit differently? I find a 44 R looks better on me but I can't raise my arms or move them past my chest. A 46 R looks a little big on me. What should I go with? I need to lose weight, but wast size only a little (36 currently want to be a 34 at least or a 32 at the most). Chest I am a size Large and don't want to be a medium or a XL.

  • @RealMenRealStyle

    Usually, yes. The easiest alteration is to tighten the wrist and cuffs up a bit. Narrowing the whole sleeve will be much more involved, and anything that involves adjusting the actual armscye (the hole where the sleeve meets the body of the jacket) is a fairly major alteration. At that point you're basically reconstructing the shape of the whole jacket!

      hello, when I am wearing my suit buttoned, I noticed a chest opened especially when I place both of my hands at the back. Is it normal or my suit is just too small in the chest area?

  • @joevento1170
    @joevento1170 6 лет назад +11

    SLIM FIT suits are for slim-skinny people. If you have a belly then u need a classic fit suit and have the alteration ppl adjust pants and jacket accordingly.....

    I know this is a video from 2012 but I was wondering if you know super tight suits are in style now in 2019? Half the people I know who are also wealthy. They tailor their suits so tight, there is a big X stretch around the stomach area. This is so crazy that I'm also starting to do it. It don't even look nice but people want tighter and tighter now in NYC.

    Is it ok to just move the jacket buttons over a small amount to give more room?

  • @kkhounlo
    @kkhounlo 2 года назад +1

    I got over 40 years experience of man suits tailoring, if you gonna buy a suit or you in between sizes buy a bigger size it’s easy to take in the side seam than let out the side seam down the line you might need more room in a month or two never know the weight is change it all the time.

    The bottom of my jacket does not cover the bottom curve of my buttock and it looks very awkward, what can be done regarding the problem? It's quite frustrating considering it's my first suit jacket. :(

    • @charlesmontgomery9208
      @charlesmontgomery9208 8 лет назад +4

      +Gerrid All of my slim fit suits have slight divots, and I wear them proudly. Women don't seem to mind them. I think the divots come from having a good body.

    • @MrNewcaledonia
      @MrNewcaledonia 7 лет назад +3

      Exactly! Divots come with the territory of having great arms and shoulders!

    • @Jimbo8012
      @Jimbo8012 6 лет назад +4

      +charles montgomery - No, divots often occur because a person's arms are too wide for the armhole so the armhole distorts, becomes wider but also shorter in height hence the collapse in fabric. It has nothing to do with having a good body and everything to do with the jacket not fitting that person properly on the arms and shoulders.
      99 times of 100 going up a size will correct this pretty serious issue. Yes, that will necessitate alterations elsewhere - waist taken in etc but it's worth it. There's nothing worse than a bad fitting suit on the shoulders. It completely ruins a suit.

  • @Duxaization
    @Duxaization 7 лет назад +1

    Dude, all you have done is confuse people more.
    Main check, if you have your shirt/jacket on, pretend like you are showing off your guns with both arms, then bring your arms in that show off position together in the middle and if your elbows are not able to touch, then it is too small.

    Shoulders are usually the only thing you can't have altered.

      That’s completely false. You can have the shoulders altered. I’ve had two blazers altered, both with the shoulders brought in.

    Quick add:
    Know. Your. Body. Type.
    Buying a suit is an honest process. Don't lie, it's not going to work well for you.
    You know why guys buy Lululemon, super stretchy stuff now?
    Because they're LYING. And it's not to anyone but themselves.
    If you're not a slim fit, don't buy slim fit stuff.
    Genuinely, be honest with yourself.
    Maybe that's just not something you're ever going to do, and all I can say to that is.. good luck with Carhartt 🤷
