answer:Determine if he’s a short, med. or long fit for the suit jacket. There’s A LOT of inconsistency in the cut of clothes, even with expensive stores so don’t let that be your determining factor. Get him fitted and measured wearing trim fitting clothes rather than sagged pants or shorts. A suit jacket can be altered a bit in the body and of course sleeves but the shoulders have to already be right and if the also the length because of the pre placement of pockets. The modern look for guys is the tailored/athletic fit shirt that tucks in smooth rather than billowing around the waist and bagging under the arms but a lot of guys don’t like the feel of that closeness. Same with trousers, flat fronts are popular but with many suits will be more expensive with them than going with pleats and cuffs. Men’s Warehouse has been a hit and miss for us so we opt to stick with Jos A Bank which seems to have constant 50–70% sales; we’ve gotten a few great suits for about $275., all said and done. Don’t be intimidated by the in store prices which are a lot different than the online site offerings. We go in and try what hubby likes, find the size, write down the item numbers and then order online. Any alterations or adjustments we’ve ever needed have been done at no cost by going into a physical store later.
