Should you buy it? In situations like these, the difference between getting a steal and wasting your money depends on whether your tailor can complete the required alterations to make the item fit you well. Before pulling the trigger on something that needs considerable alteration, check out our list of things a tailor can and cannot do to get a menswear garment to fit. 0:00 Introduction 01:08 How many sizes larger or smaller can you go? 03:49 Changing the Width of Shoulders - NO 04:15 Changing the Pad Level of Shoulders - MAYBE 05:36 Changing the Collar - MAYBE 06:31 Narrowing, Lengthening and Shortening Sleeves - YES 08:50 Putting on Buttons - YES 09:50 Fixing Shoulder Divots - MAYBE 10:42 Changing the Button Profile - NO 11:30 Changing the Lapels - MOSTLY NO 13:21 Reshaping the Quarters of a Jacket - NO 14:08 Shortening the Jacket - MAYBE 14:42 Changing the Vent Openings on the Back - MAYBE 15:34 Hems, Cuffs and Leg Length on Pants - YES 16:25 Tapering and Decreasing Leg Width - YES 16:52 Adding to and Subtracting from the Waist - YES 18:44 Outfit Rundown There are many different alterations that are possible when you examine the components of a suit. Understanding the anatomy of a pair of pants or a tailored jacket will also make you aware of what can and cannot be done. Study the garments you own--look at the seams for allowances, check for previous work, and get a sense of its structure. Then weigh the advice above against your love for the item. You can then decide whether it's something you are willing to invest in or if you would just prefer to buy something new (or vintage!). Are there any alterations that we've missed? Have you tried any of these? Share it with us in the comment section! mRKAxyqwesY |
