When to Consider Alterations

Signs Your Suit or Tux Needs Adjustment

Even high quality suits and tuxedos often need tailoring. Paying attention to how your clothing fits can help you avoid common issues and achieve a more polished look.

Jacket sleeves extend past your wrists
Trousers bunch or stack at the ankles
Excess fabric around the waist or chest
Shoulders extend beyond your natural frame
Jacket length covers too much of the backside
Difficulty buttoning the jacket comfortably
