Jason and I were talking about these guys a few pages back, they stock some great stuff depending on your size. However. if you're a 42R (my size) then don't even think about them, they're ****...

You don't do any physical activity, including semi-physical activity like going to the park?
Question: Is this normal or should I go elsewhere?
In my lunch break today I went to the alterations place around the corner, hoping to get some minor alterations done to a few shirts. They all fit nicely on the shoulders, but I'm tall and thin so I was hoping to get them taken in a little around the waist, and maybe have the sleeves adjusted so they don't look so billowy over my chicken arms. Again, they all fit passably well, but I was hoping to have them altered to fit me perfectly.
I've never had clothes altered before, but from reading online I didn't think any of these requests would pose a problem. But I was essentially told that none of my shirts could be altered because it will affect the shape of the shirt (I kind of thought that was the point of alteration, but didn't want to say anything). Specifically, the sleeves couldn't be brought in without making the arm hole smaller and higher, therefore making it impossible to move my arms.
Is this true, or should I take them somewhere else? (If so, where would you recommend?) Is it possible that the specific shirts I brought in wouldn't take well to alteration?
I also had a pair of pants that she said she couldn't make less baggy without closing half of the pocket, which confused me but by that point I was ready to leave.

With the kind of pins I have, they better off in trousers. Physical activity, hmmm, I recall doing some in 1996. Only joking. Hate shorts personally, and the sports I play dont require shorts; snooker, softball and mountaineering/treking, all trouser sports - no shorts required.Don't worry - if Windowpane1967 is swimming, you're free to wear shorts

Have you guys purchased suits/jackets from suit supply? Do most of the fits seem to have quite a high buttoning point or is that just me?
Yep, +1. Wouldn't like to frighten small children including my own. Haha!I only swim in private.
