First post in this thread (I'm usually in the thrift bragging thread). I am a lawyer and have to dress up everyday. I wear a suit 2-3 times a week. I have lost about 40 pounds and all of my suits are hanging on me. I was up to a 52L and a 44+ waist. Now, I still wear a 50L but I need a 40 waist. I might be able to wear a 48L but even though I have lost quite a bit of weight, I still have very broad shoulders. So, here's my question. How much can I really tailor my pants before they are going to look weird. I used to wear a 46 and had a 34 waist. When I tried to have pants tailored that much the pockets were practically touching and the pants looked odd. Do I bite the bullet and get new suits or can these be tailored down this much.
