    Fit issue

    Hi all, I think I know the answer already but I figured I would defer to the experts. I’ve been buying size 42 sport coats. 44 seems too big. I’ve been using the same tailor for adjustments. He’s been in business for a long time and makes bespoke suits, jackets, shirts, etc. I took a brand...

    Hello all, I haven't bought any fine clothes in awhile and stumbled upon a Nordstrom Rack today. I decided to browse and I wasn't too impressed by the selection of men's clothes.
