My deal breakers are:
-Vent-less jackets (except for formal wear)
-4x1 and 6x1 button stance on double-Breasted jackets
-Notch lapels and single vents on a double-breasted jacket
-Single vents on a single-breasted jacket aren't a deal breaker, but the jacket has to be amazing in every other way and a really good deal for me to get one
-Sack jackets
-Reverse pleats or scissor pleats on trousers
-I wouldn't say flat fronts are a deal breaker for me, but they NEVER fit me properly.
-Shirt pockets
-Edge-stitched collars and cuffs
-Contrast collar shirts with button cuffs
-Box pleats on the back of shirts
-polyester
-All shoes except slip-ons must be Goodyear welted
-overly square toes
-Bicycle toes
-corrected grain
-furs

Sleeves longer than 26", rise shorter than 11"Originally Posted by aj_del
A poor fit should be a deal breaker for anyone. A rise shorter than 12 inches won't fit me, but neither will a size 36 jacket. I think these lists should be about styles and features, not fits. I could keep going on about all the clothes that don't fit me.
