Tailoring Your Big and Tall Suit

For big and tall men, finding a suit that fits perfectly can be a struggle. Even at a big and tall menswear store, there still might be a few alterations you wish your suit had. That’s why tailoring your suit is a key component to looking and feeling great.

Make An Investment In Your Style

If you’ve ever gone to a wedding and felt your suit restricting your motion, or sitting down only to have your ankles exposed, you need a tailored suit. Having your big and tall suit tailored isn’t stressful, risky, or expensive, in fact, it’s one of the easiest ways to buy a perfectly fitting suit. There are however, a few things you’ll need to consider when buying a big and tall suit that you plan to have tailored. Here are 4 essential tips for tailoring your big and tall suit:

Know your measurements: If you’ve bought a big and tall suit, you likely already know your measurements, but it doesn’t hurt to have London’s Big and Tall Menswear take them again. Without 100% accurate measurements, you could be tailoring your suit to fit someone else’s body, not your own. Don’t waste your own time or money on improper alterations. Think of it as if you were doing home renovations, measure twice, cut once.

Don’t buy cheap: It’s a natural impulse when buying big and tall clothing to try to save a few dollars, but buying cheap won’t help. For one, cheap fabric wears quicker and is more likely to split, tear, scuff, and run. Assure that the fabric of your big and tall suit is top quality. Secondly, quality fabric is easier to tailor. Again, think of it as if you’re renovating your home. Using higher quality materials will look better and last longer. A suit is a piece of your wardrobe that should last for years and quality fabric and tailoring is a key component to this.

Trust your tailor: London’s Big and Tall Menswear uses only the most trusted tailors to alter your suit. Tailoring a suit correctly is an art form that should not be entrusted to just anyone. Why would you purchase a suit worth hundreds of dollars, only to have it ruined by an unqualified tailor? At London’s Big and Tall Menswear, we take pride in every stitch that is made to our big and tall clothing.

Go for a final fitting:After your big and tall suit has been tailored, try it on again. If you’re not completely satisfied with the fit and appearance of your suit, don’t be afraid to ask for a small adjustment. This is your suit and you should feel comfortable wearing it. The final fitting of your big and tall suit is one of the most important steps in the tailoring process.

Reinvent Your Wardrobe

Whether you’ve purchased your suit at London’s Big and Tall Menswear, or you are hoping to reinvent a suit that’s been sitting in your closet for years, tailoring your suit is a fantastic option. Perfect fit and a stylish look should not be mutually exclusive. For big and tall men, tailoring a suit is an excellent alternative to endlessly searching stores.
