    Do these dress pants not fit correct?

    Hi Sartorialists, I have a question about the linen suits I recently bought. The trousers fit well but they tend not to sit upon the waist correctly like I would imagine they are supposed too? If I put my belt on the 4th buckle in so that it is very tight it keeps them in the correct place near...

    Fit of suit jacket

    Hi all! I have a few questions about the fits of a few Suitsupply Lazio jackets. Context is that it’s for my wedding, and will be part of a three piece suit that I want to be able to use for interviews, on the job, etc. in the future. In the pics I have a vest to mimic the vest I’ll have for...

    buy pants exact waist or bigger?

    just a quick question, i use to buy 2 sizes bigger. for example for me, a 32 is like a perfect fit and i can wear it without a belt and it be fine. but it's such a "perfect fit" i'm afraid if i gain ANY weight then it'll automatically become too small. how about you? buy exact size or size bigger?

    How to tell if pants (waist) can be let out?

    Just bought a pair of khakis from GAP (Tailored Straight Leg) and was wondering if these khakis were designed like many others (made to be able to have tailors let them out a few inches if needed.) Yes I can get the right waist size but the thigh/leg taper would not be the same. I just need a...

    Can all/most trousers be let out in the waist?

    I'm getting fat and need to let a couple pairs out about an inch. Is there a way to tell if they can be let out, or can I just assume they can be? They're from Brooks Brothers (and 346) if that makes any difference.

    Where do you wear your pants.. like where do you put the waist?

    I always wear my pants under my tummy like where the fat of the stomach rolls over and stops... top of the pelvis. I guess that's why I have to get a really short length and then hem them even more after I buy them. Like usually I get 38x30 or 38x29 and get them tailored a little shorter so I...

    How tight should jeans be in the waist?

    How tight should jeans fit in the waist area? I recently took my jeans to a tailor to get them shortened (not relevant) and he said my jeans wear to loose in the waist. When I bought my diesel jeans they were really tight in the waist but have loosened up since then. Im sure its from sitting...

    Is there a way to combat waist line 'fold down'?

    The top of my jeans fold down (especially at the button) when i sit and eventually stays that way. Is this just part of teh natural wear of jeans. I haven't paid attention to see if it happens to ALL my jeans but just noticed it alot on these Loomstates (to the point where I can see the bulge...

    How much can you take-in on the waist?

    I have a pair of dress pants that I need to take down from a 33 to a 30 waist. Will a tailor be able to do this pretty easily, or is it too much big of a change? Generally, what is the "maximum" amount that you can take-in at the waist and have it still look OK?
