Searching Etsy (for tailoring)

I wonder if googling what you're looking for with "etsy" (or like whatever the google thing is to search for results from a specific website) in the search might help. I run into this issue too. It's impossible to search by size on there ime

Brooks Brothers vs. J Press OCBD

If made in USA isn't huge for you you could look into Kamakura as well. I think they have shell buttons at least some of the time

First MTM suit - advice?

Seems nice! Someone else here might have more to say but I'm not super familiar with w/s/l blends beyond swatches and seeing/handling stuff on the rack

Short men's shorts, no cowards allowed

you could try to find "stubbies" in a smaller size lol. Idk if they're easy to find where you are (assuming you're in the USA?). You could also just get some nice 5" shorts and get them hemmed to <3". You could even get 28-29 inch shorts taken in at the waist too although some construction methods can make that more expensive or difficult to do (e.g. it's harder to do it if there's no seam in the back of the waistband.)

Yeah it depends on the fabric for me. I think if it's a sport coat-y fabric you can do whatever with the pockets. but if you want to avoid the accusation of orphaning a suit jacket in a hashtag menswear fit it might be tricky with suiting fabrics (esp navy/charcoal etc) imo

yeah measuring your tweed suit will help a ton. Online is great because many ebay sellers will list measurements.

If you would wear the blazer more i think it's better to invest in that! is there anything about your body that makes you think you would have trouble getting something that fits decently off the rack? because if not then thrifting a suit could be a really great option. Even for myself I'm not too far off many off the rack sizes even though I'm an average height cis woman (and therefore, to the menswear industry, a shortish, narrow shouldered, wider hipped guy) Also, If you get a MTM jacket that fits you well, you'll be able to measure it and use those measurements to better shop for second hand suits on ebay for example 🙂 If your grey suit fits well you can just use that too.

Thank you! It has some funny quirks with the fit that I might post about later but I'm very happy with it

You can bring in a photo of a suit you like (on a person obv) as an example. Like getting a haircut haha. A good fitter will be able to use that as a jumping off point to talk about what they can do and what you want

Depends on the fitter. In NYC my experience with suit supply has been great. The stylists are good at reading you and what you want. The smaller company was harder to convince to go wider with their fit! You just never know

I decided to go with a smaller business for my wedding suit and I'm glad I did. Suit supply is good value in my opinion but if you can afford it and are willing to take on a little more risk with a small company I think it's worth it

For a break I think a decent width is important. Speak up about that during your fitting if they give you slimmer trousers

Regardless I would recommend you push this company to make your jacket cover your butt haha. Based on their lookbooks.
