There’s a lot of talk about freedom and choosing these days. The definition of freedom is being rewritten by some of the suits in Washington. And the number of choices men and women have when it comes to revamping a broken system, well, forget it. So when big and tall men got the news they will have the freedom to choose the suit style that fits their personality, there was a lot of happy foot stomping going on.
And when some of those big guys found out that MensItaly is offering big and tall suits for men in several styles and a host of colors, the website got a taste of an Amazon kind of day. Big and tall men are able to buy ready-to-wear suit styles online now. That’s huge progress for the men who still live in suit hell. That’s the hell of wearing the same navy and the same brown three-button suit to every event that calls for a suit. But no big and tall men should be living in that hell anymore, thanks to MensItaly and other big and tall sites. The big guy business is on fire, and it’s not going to burn-out anytime soon.
But there is a hitch to buying ready-to-wear, big and tall suits for men. Most men need a tailor to fix the suit pant length or to alter the suit jacket sleeves. That small amount of tailoring is a monumental change from going to tailor to get the right body measurements and then ordering a custom-made suit from a vendor that has a six-weeks or longer backlog. Once the suit is ready, a big guy might have to go back to the tailor to make sure the fit is right on the money. Most big and tall suits for men have to fit the way a custom-made suit should fit. And at times, tall men have a hard time getting the jacket to lay on their body the way they want it to lay. But that doesn’t happen if a big guy knows his measurements, and he knows something about how wool, linen, and cotton impact the fit of a suit. The fit of a suit is not just about your body size. It’s about your fabric and suit style choices too.
