  • I need to get a suit altered, or buy a new one

    We've been invited to a wedding, and I came to find out that the suit pants that used to fit me 16 years ago don't fit me any more. I know NOTHING about alterations...do most tailors have the ability to expand a suit pant's waistline measurement by 3-4 inches? What would be a fair estimate for such an alteration?

    If that doesn't work out, I should probably consider getting a new suit. The one I have is pretty good quality, so I would like to get a comparable one. I've heard good and bad about Mens Wearhouse. I'm now even considering CL! My body shape doesn't lend well to an off-the-rack buy, so I'll likely need alterations.

    Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
