The Power of Tailoring
 |
| By Reginald Phillips |
- Are you a tall man who just can’t find the right pants? Have your pants made. Many men don’t realize the advantage of having a great pair of tailored pants. If you have your pants or suits custom-made, you get to pick and choose the shape of the suit, the fit of the pants, and the accessories that accompany the garment. Even if you purchased a suit from a department store, a tailor will alter it to your specifications. If you purchased a pair of pants that are just too short, go to the tailor and get them lengthened. Tailors know how to lengthen pants so that no one will be able to tell that they've been worked on. Getting your garments altered by a tailor allows you to be the designer.
Buy for fit, not for size
- Clothing sizes are not always universal. A large in one shirt may fit you perfectly, but a large in a shirt made by a different designer may feel snug around your chest. Just because you might be one size in one garment doesn't mean you’ll be the same size in another. Certain garments run smaller than others and it's up to you to determine the correct fit for your body. Always try on clothes before you buy them. Make sure shirts fit your shoulders and chest just right; make sure the sleeves aren't snug. When trying on pants, make sure the waist fits but is slightly loose so you can be comfortable when wearing them. You don’t want a tight waist; it won’t be comfortable and the legs of the pants might ride up. Trying on clothing before you purchase it allows you to precisely determine your correct fit.
