    Fit Critique - What Alterations Do I Need?

    Appreciate the responses, everyone. jrd617 - it is indeed over 40, it seems. 41 from my measurement. Is that something some basic tailoring could fix? Should it be 38 from pit to pit if my chest is 38? It should be a little bigger right? Like 39 1/2 to 40? I definitely agree with the...

    Fit Critique - What Alterations Do I Need?

    The first one is all around too big. The shoulders and chest are too big, and the sleeves are too long. In addition to that, the jacket itself also looks too long, well beyond what a tailor can fix. A tailor can chop off an inch from the bottom, but not really more than that since it will throw...

    Fit Critique - What Alterations Do I Need?

    Well, its not perfect... But its not bad. Take it to a good tailor and it'll look even better. Do you think I should just get the sleeves shortened? Here's another jacket I have (38s), and I feel like this one fits a bit better around the waist/chest. Would a 38s fit differently in those...

    Fit Critique - What Alterations Do I Need?

    At first I thought it looked way too long. Then I saw the last pic with your arm down. I really don't see anything terribly wrong with it. In fact, I would say this is one of the best RTW fit pics I have seen in recent days on this forum. That said, you should provide back shots, and have...

    Fit Critique - What Alterations Do I Need?

    I bought this off the rack, and for some reason I thought it fit a lot better when I was in the store. Now I put it on and realize some work definitely needs to be done. It's a 38R. I'm thinking the jacket needs to be taken in a bit and the sleeves need to be brought up (I want it to show 1/2...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Well, my second foray into thrifting went a little better than the first. I live in a college town surrounded by a lot of rural area, so I'm not expecting much when I go out looking. Was happy to pick these up, though.

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    What's with the "may or may not"? Even if it was of interest, is there a reason to be coy about the price? lol kind of just a phrase, i guess? thought it was pretty clear that meant i DID pay only $8 for it. anyway, thanks for responses, everyone. i'll probably just get rid of it, i dont...

    New Suit - Thoughts?

    Thanks for opinions, everyone. I didn't really need another suit or anything, I just kind of saw it and figured I'd eat the $8 if it didn't work out. What are some specific things about the suit itself (not the fit) that make it a piece of crap? I see what people are saying about the lapels...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Thoughts on the fit? How does it look? What alterations need to be done? This suit may or may not have cost me a grand total of $8.38. More pics in spoiler. Thanks.

    Yeah, that dimple is tricky. Thanks for the help, I definitely think it looks better after playing with it.

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II

    That collar isn't wide enough for a windsor to look good. It looks way too big compared to the collar. With a spread collar, half-windsor is acceptable. But with the collar you posted, four in hand will be smaller and so will fit better with the collar. Just try it, trust me. FiH is easy as hell...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II
