+1 to that- I have friends that are professional ballroom dancers, and their suits fit like nothing I have ever seen anywhere.

I like LB's pants length. He jokes that American's wear their pants too long and Europeans too short so he wears the mid-Atlantic length. That length will always work IMO.
