Custom Tailored Pants
Perhaps even more challenging than getting
the right fit in a shirt is getting the right
fit in a pair of dress pants. The combination
of snug fit and wide variation in the body
from the waist line down makes pants the
most difficult of all clothing to select.
As an alternative, you might consider ordering
custom tailored pants.
Materials and Styles
Every tailor should offer
- a wide selection of quality fabric that includes
worsted wool (the quality standard), linen,
cotton, and wool blends
- colors that suit your style and personal
preference
- a choice between cuffs and no cuffs, with
or without pleats, unlined, partial and full
linings, and adjustable waistbands
Measurements
In addition to the usual requirements
of
waist, length, and inseam measurements,
a
quality tailor will use
- a selection of leg profiles to allow for
heavy or thin legs and standing stances for
bow or inward turning legs
- a choice of posture and waist position to
suit where you set your pants or where they
naturally ride
- posterior profiles that account for the size
of your seat and the disposition of weight
in back
- individual measurements of thighs and crotch
so that the pants fit properly
in all aspects
rather than draping or appearing
too tight
Many places will record your
weight at time
of fitting because a change in
your weight
can affect the measurements and
shape of
your seat. |
