Bespoke garments and body changes with exercise?

[Wrong Crowd]

Getting fat will affect your fit a lot more than gaining muscle. Muscle is denser and will be spread out throughout the body, while fat in men is disproportionately deposited around the midsection. Unless you're getting incredibly form-fitting clothes, ten pounds of muscle shouldn't make your shirts not fit anymore. I have been working out for over a decade now, since long before I started caring about clothes, and shirts that fit me ten pounds ago still fit me fine.

Do shirts that fit you well when you are at your biggest (call it +10 lbs muscle) also look good on you when you are at your smallest (+0 lbs muscle)?

Or rather when you are your smallest do your shirts look a bit too large? Just curious how noticeable the differences are for this range of sizes. I'd say I'm always pretty lean, the question is what my muscle status is, which varies by about 10 lbs. At the moment I'm leaning toward getting shirts made when I'm at my biggest.

Thanks everyone for all the very helpful responses.

They can look what they are: too big! Not sure what else you would expect them to be.

I doubt that's 10 lbs of muscle.

My body is changing few times a year. I go to the gym for 15 years. I have few bespoke jackets and plenty od mtm shirt. If my muscle grow...it is not a problem...but when my fat is growing with muscle..its a problem
But only bespoke fit well...mtm suits are not the same in move.

Wouldn't these two be torn to shreds if they were posting WAYWN...

Doesn't sound like the OP has much to worry about- 3 moths of exercise won't make a huge difference unless you are both dedicated and overweight, in which case you could get pretty lean, but OP sounds very thin already it's tough to put on much lean mass in such a short period of time. He did mention shirts and there's not much to be done to let out a too-small shirt, having one taken in is another story. Suits can be let out to a certain degree unless your shoulders develop quickly; mine do and as a result I have a lot of unwearable clothing as the shoulders are the only spot that can't be let out to any considerable degree.

They certainly would wouldn't they? Having said that they still have a certain confidence to them that WAYWN posters often lack.

Eden was fluent in five languages and an excellent cricketer and rower; that's the kind of gentry street cred WAYWN posters would give their right arm and a bolt of LL guncheck for.

Indeed.

I am fluent in three, conversant in a fourth and rusty in a fifth but have no idea about cricket and the closest I come to rowing is the rowing machine in my basement.
