I'm 5'10" and most of my suits and jackets, accumulated over several years, are size 44R (traditional fit). However a while back I noticed that my clothes were starting to get tight on me. I took myself in hand and over the last 6 months have lost 13 pounds and hope to lose another 7 and get down to a size 42 or 43. Right now the only clothes I have that fits me properly is a 44R slim cut suit and a couple of old jackets, from when I was younger and slimmer. Once I get to my desired weight, can my other suits be cut down without looking ridiculous or do I have to start all over again accumulating suits and jackets?
