Hey guys. Great forum you have here. lots of great info.
My question today is about two suits i just purchased. One is a Ralph Lauren and the other is a Bellissimo. Both suits fit great, with the exception of the pants. Both suits have flat front pants and the pockets on both pairs of pants are puffing out. It make sme look like i have huge bulging hips. I've never bought a suit with flat front pants before. Is this normal or are the pants to tight. The waist and the legs fit perfect so i dont know how i would be able to go up to the next pant size. Plus the suits didnt have an option of other pant sizes. just what was included with the jacket. SHouldnt these pants be more sleek and streamlined. I thought that was the whole reason for flat front pants.

Any help you guys can give me would be appreciated. As it stands now i dont think i could where these pants without the jacket and feel comfortable. I feel like i just waisted my hard earned money on these two suits.

This would be better if you posted pictures. Let me ask one question: do the pockets sit better if you pull the front of the pants up, or if you pull the back down (try pinching the bottom of the back pocket and pulling down). Let me ask another question: would you be happier if you lost five pounds?

those bulging pockets are usually a sign of a tight fit.
