Hi Everyone - I'm looking for some guidance on how the differing tailoring houses look on various body shapes. I'm sure there is already a feed on this - maybe even a completed matrix - but I've struggled to find anything that gives me the details. For personal context, I have more of an athletic build, though shorter, so my impression is that unstructured Italian houses would best suit my frame.

If anyone has a forum, article, or advice that they could give me, I'd love to dive into this topic! Thanks in advance!

What do you mean when you say “tailoring houses”? Perhaps understanding the vocabulary would be helpful. Are you talking about Bespoke tailors?
