It depends which part of it doesn't fit. Generally, the shoulder area of the jacket is the only part that would be difficult/impractical to alter. The area around the waist is a pretty simple take in and any good tailor should be able to do it without a problem. Just make sure the rest of the jacket fits well before you take in the waist, I see so many jackets that fit great around the waist but have baggy sleeves or ill-fitting shoulders and it just looks bad.

its definitely the waist.. i'll get some pics, so perhaps you can guide me what to tell the tailor. I do have a nice fitting casual blazer that I can bring as a guide.
This is what I want all my suit jackets to look like as I hate buttoning them up:

I think it looks good. I know some guys on this thread disagree saying Jordans are too bulky but it all depends how you execute the fit.
I personally do not like a nice dressy fit with jack purcell converse. Those shoes have an ugly rubber midsole and look like clown shoes.
I would much rather wear some nice glossy black dress shoes. If it's a mix of Dress/Casual fit, I would throw on some Sperry Top Siders
And guys, please wear cloth that fit your frame. I'm 6'0, medium/large frame so I am not into buying "skinnys" or super tapered pants/jeans. I
personally think it looks bad when you get pants that fit extremely tight. If you are on the bigger side. Get slim fits but please do not get the ones
that basically choke your "butt" lol.
For Jeans I basically like Guess Los Angeles Lincoln Slim Straights. I like how they fit unlike Hugo Boss, Armani, and other expensive name brands out there.
Those tend to fit me too tight and if I size them up, they don't look too good imo.

They are 84.95, decent price. But if you are a bargain shopper 6pm.com and Ebay can be your friend.

i guess it looks forced. while people may have their own sense of dress. there are not too many stylish people these days. some are fashionable, but thus the trying too hard vibe

Hey Guys. Looking for a little direction here.
How does one go about finding a good tailor. I have a lot of clothing that are nice pieces, but do not fit the way I like, so I rarely wear them. I live in Providence, RI, but dont know many people around here to recommend a tailor they trust. My fear is that I go to someone who seems experienced (gray hair) who still tailors clothing to fit they way people used to prefer.
What are some guidelines to find a good tailor?
Recommendations of tailors in Providence, RI or Boston, MA would be appreciated as well.

Good idea on the giveaway. Might do that when I clean the closet out.
As far as tailor goes. I found mine on Yelp and went there with a test piece, a pair of pants that needed tapering and a dress shirt that I wanted taken in a bit. They did a good job. So they will be my "go to" until they %%%@ up. Prices are reasonable, quick turnaround and what won me over...they are open on Saturday.

Trial and error isn't that bad on an option. Get a size you have a blazer in already, order it, see how it fits and make adjustments from there.

A tip to save on shipping: call any Nordstrom store (ask for the shoe department), give the SA the item number. Ask them to order it and have it sent from a different store. If you order an item at Nordstrom but they have to ship from another store, it's free standard shipping. The SA still gets the sale, and it'll be the easiest one they get all day, so they'll definitely do it. Also, if it's an online only item, even better, because they'll order it through the website and all web orders processed in store have free shipping.Originally Posted by maicolkickhead
