Been getting 80% of my clothes tailored for the last 2 years it seems....

Now keep in my im 36 and DONT dress like a kid...

This mainly applies to the fly shyt.....suits...slacks...dress shirts...blazers/sport coats...even polos:whew:

everything looks and feels custom...even off the rack.



I wear jeans every blue moon and only sneakers I wear are 89 Flites or New balances....

Nothing worse then seeing a breh with a puffy azz dress shirt or sleeves all baggy..:huhldup:

I want yall boys to be fly out here....:win:

I’m even thinking of getting my own sewing machine and taking up tailoring as a hobby but this could be a step too far :guilty:

It depends on the tailor.....typically for a dress shirt...sides and sleeves my tailor charges me $17

for pants...sides and hem...same

for a suit......jacket sides...sleeves...pants...$45 - $55
Can a tailor taper pant legs? I want a smaller opening at the bottom so my shoe laces aren't covered.

hell yeah...mine has done slacks, suit pants and jeans for me....


Just go to a local tailor and tell them what you want to do
My suits all made bespoke in Vietnam, I bought the cloth and brought it to the man. Gained a lil weight since and at the time didn't know and wasn't able to communicate what I wanted the best.
A couple of em slightly do that underarm webbing shyt when you raise hands, damn I hate that look :snoop: Doubt I can do anything about that now tho. I think the arm hole was cut to wide/low.

How much yal spending on tailored suits?
Any off the rack recommendations?
