HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2690

Appreciated. These shoes were the first "nice" pair of shoes I invested in. I was determined to get non square toes because of this forum, yet still found a way to fail. Getting convinced by SA's is something I've been bad at in the past but am getting much better at it. Ah well, I shall invest in a nice brown pair with a more rounded toe, as I have a black pair that fits the bill.

 

I'm going to have to take a look at the rest of my jackets to make sure they're not too short. Grr to learning.

well, i just ordered a pait of MTM pants from edmorel @ panta, and based on how he had me measure, and the terms he used, you guys are wrong.

quote

"measure the rise for me (top of the waistband down to the seam just below the crotch). "

EAT IT

so, the more you add to the "rise," the more you add to the crotch. or alternatively, less rise, would have a snugger crotch. that all has nothing to do with how high up the waist of the pants goes up the torso.

obviously, the measurement is from waist to crotch, either way. and no, this is not the same is subtracting the inseam fro the outseam, as the measurement to the seam below the crotch extends/curves inwards. whereas inseam/outseam are measured flat.

i was just saying, that i believe the term "rise" refers to measuring downward, the more you add, the more you add in the crotch. as opposed to whatever the hell word a tailor would use to determine that you are adding length upwards, based on a predetermined measurement from crotch up. meaning, you decide the rise you want for optimal pen0r comfort, and then add upwards from there. semantics maybe, but it is an important distinction in measuring your pants.

once again, EAT IT.

*waiting for knowledgeable tailor to put me in my place and tell me im wrong*



my pleasure. i knew what you meant, i was merely pontificating on frankies terminology.

read above, mr. smarty pants.


c what i did there

Stitch, rise/waist height = same thing. It's all the distance from the crotch seam to the waistband. Actually, in some MTM programs it's measured from the back waistband down around your junk and up to the front of the waistband, but that's just a technique difference.

Where most folks go wrong is assuming that, hey, I wear my pants at the same height, so adding to the rise will just make them droopy in the crotch. That's backwards thinking - the crotch of the pants stays where it stays, and rise determines how high the waist comes up on you.

Anyway, yeah, it's mostly semantics.


Here's me today:



Southwick suit, Brioni shirt, BB tie, tiebar square, AE boots.

a list.

step 1. decide where you normal waist line is.

step 2. measure downwards, and a bit inwards, to determine how much room you want in the crotch. aka, rise.

step 3. measure from bottom of crotch/rise to hem, to determine how long you want your pant legs to be. inseam.

step 4. optional, for those who want to be fancy, measure from your waist line up, to add additional pant length up your torso

step 5. measure from top of waist band to hem, to determine outseam. a measurement that is not useful without determining the above steps first.

is your brother wearing a sinn? Also for what it's worth I love his suit hate the fit......

nope, breitling transocean.

ill make sure to tell him.

 

The distance from the crotch to the top of a trouser's waistband is the rise. It is the variation in rise that makes for high-, medium- or low-waisted trousers. It's not rocket science.

 

 

You say it as if there was a "normal waist line" stitches and that low, medium or high rise is just "fancy".

 

Different types of trousers require different rises. I for one prefer casual chinos low rise, however my suit trousers with medium rise to avoid showing of a shirt triangle under the button when I wear a jacket. In all rises you have the same "pen0r comfort"

 

 

But maybe you are on to something there stitches...maybe you will revolutionize the pent measuring system as we now it. Soon we all be ordering Ambrosi drop crotch pants.

have you found yourself that rusty pipe yet?

Stitchy, there's no two ways about it. You're just wrong here. Your inseam length isn't a variable. If that stays the same, and you add more to the rise, the waistband will sit higher on your waist, not add space for your tackle.

but if I buy a box that has a second vertical compartment, can't I then fit more tackle inside said box?

shug, do you mean to say that i just need to hike up my higher rise pants? THATS CRAZY TALKS!!
