My personal opinion is it fits well
Sleeves and pants need hems
little tight at the chest imo, there's some noticeable pulling at the button
i think spier suit jackets usually have a little extra allowance, if he has the time a tailor may be able to let the suit jacket out, along with adding a hem on the pants
Not too bad though right? He could wear as is?
The button doesn’t look that bad in person
And I’ve seen fits purposely with pull before
yes
I mean I agree it looks tight. I’m not a fan of pulling personally because it draws attention. The rest of the suit is a sharp fit so the pulling kind of distracts from that. But if your dad is comfortable then it’s all good
I’ll see what the tailor says
Got like 6 weeks plenty of time
you mean waist right?
should I size it up to a 42 maybe?
I wouldn't size up. Just bring it to a tailor to get that let out a bit. Its a pretty standard job
expensive?
Im bringing it for the sleeves and pants
I agree needs to be let out a tiny bit.. i like it snug but not pulling
its called a "let out"?
yes
jacket should be let out, how much it will cost depends on the tailor
im having trouble finding a good tailor shop
My mom uses the lady at the cleaners.. and she likes her
but idk..
Ok i think i found a good tailor.. they make custom suits so they must be good haha
Hem jobs and letting out a garment at the seam are both straight forward and standard, shouldn't be too much hassle for a seamstress/cleaner so long as you don't need much let out at the seam. At a certain point you mess with the balance of the garment and need to basically do sculptural level tailoring, at that point you'd want someone more versed
ill ask for pricing from this guy
he seems very good.. but likely very expensive
You can always have the sleeves and pants altered by the cleaner and the jacket let out by the other tailor if you have the time
If that's worth it will depend on the price
yeah well see lol
I can do the pants myself tbh
simple hem
are there other places than ebay to look for a good used suit?
Ive been searching for mine to no avail
Depends, Etsy sometimes has good options
hmm
I have my search on ebay as this
suit 46R Black (canali,J.press,bb,brooks+brothers,brioni,oxford,southwick)
only comes up with like 42 results
Yeah that's super restrictive
is it?
Try broader search terms and then use filters
im finding a LOT of just suit jackets
no pants
Is there a fabric or something else in particular you're looking for?
no, just black 100% wool
Try like just "Brooks Brothers" and then go into the filters and select men's suits, jacket size 46
And color black
90% of them are just jackets
i just tried
Also, oxxford is 2 x's and you have to be careful with them because they did almost all bespoke and the measurements will be weird
ahh
It'll be a lot of jackets, yeah
is there a way to get a jacket and then get pants sepearte?
Samuelsohn is a Canadian maker, decent quality. Polo Ralph Lauren did a lot of suits
Black separates? Wouldn't recommend
Probably just "black 46R suit" in the search bar at this point and then filter by pre-owned to remove the new cheap made stuff they advertise
whats a hemrajani brothers suit
Absolutely no idea
something bespoke
what about hugo boss?
:nooooo: why are we redoing this… it’s fine
Just wear the suit
its not mine
Dose he want a new suit
its for me
not him
just using the thread to ask
:nooooo: I’m lost how many suits do you have
none
LOL
i need a black one
looking onm ebay
