Are bespoke fittings best done naked or nude for a closer fit (excl. suit jackets)?

do the fitting with all that you will wear under the suit.
just tell the tailor how you wish it fitted.

Why do you think so many people like full bespoke here? One hangs lower than the other so proper measurement is important

This thread should have been posted last week with "Ask Fuma your stupid questions."

No tailor will do a suit fitting with you naked

I wear my undershirt, french cuffed business shirt and a tie along with my braces and naturally underwear for each fitting.

Business shoes/boots assist with the trouser cuffs as I found out wearing sandals was counterproductive

You can't say that unless you know every tailor

For crazy stuff like a $50,000 Kiton K50 suit, Waimanscotts ( Sp.) super high priced suits, or Beamanns suits that you pay for but never get, the tailor ought to put up with nude farting bespoke clients.
