My roommate recently got a suit made to measure for him and the tailor was adamant that he should opt to have the suit wide and loose fitting in order to give the appearance of a larger frame.

So terrible. What's the point in having a 28" waist if you can't show it to people.

Yup, when I had my pants tailored I asked the local tailor if she could somehow make the suit any "slimmer" or more fitted.

She kind of snickered at me and said it sounded like I wanted a "Pee Wee Herman" suit. And that if she made it slim I wouldn't have any room in my pockets, and that I NEED my pockets!

She actually said this to me. A paying customer.

Very similar experience. My dad is russian (eastern euro are notorious for their oversized pants) so that explains his insistence on the fucking pants. I ended upo spending a good bit on that fucking useless suit. I wish I could scrub it from my memory, it literally haunts me, the fucking suit...

This vid is pretty /fa/, some soviet surrealism cinema but it shows the fucking pants. The kid here that begs for a cigarette is basically my dad in his youth.

It's just such old fashioned fashion. What looks nice for them looks ill fitting for us.

You just wait, it'll happen to us too.

When your son goes out to buy his first suit, there will be a new fangled popular fit going around that will look plain retarded to us. Something like massive shoulder pads, or insane staxx in the trousers.

>> No.6634581

augh fuck first suits
my dad took me to a fucking mexican shop for a $100 suit when I was going to a hollywood first-showing event with him. The shoulders were like football shoulders and I could fit game-cases in the pant pockets
the mexicans wouldn't stop telling me how perfectly it fit me
then we followed it up with a haircut at sportsclips and off I went

the event itself was kind of funny though, it was some god awful horror film that just became humorous and I went into a minor rant about disney while talking with some guy who turned out to be a disney executive

there's a point where you realize that your parents really don't know what they're doing

just get it tailored/ buy your own shit op
