Hi to all,
It has been a while I know, but I've something to say. Recently, I'd been to my tailor with my soon to be father in law to get some alterations done on his suit. The suit is cut in a contemporary silhouette, trim with a flat front trouser and the trouser opening is about 7.5 inches. Very little needed to be done to the garment, sleeves and a hem, which indicates an ideal scenario. When purchasing a suit the less you've got to alter it the better off you are. What this represents is a garment that fits you pretty well, and that's a good thing!
Now back to my visit to the tailor. The issue here was the hem and the extent to which the trouser needed to break. Most tailors, in their relentless quest to minimize re-alterations will default to the standard break; which means marking the trouser in the back at the top of the heel and "playing it safe". This mark gives the trouser a nice break up front and satisfies a lot of customers. But I had to hold my tongue with my tailor because my soon to be father in law really had no opinion on trouser length and wanted my input. My tailor adamantly insisted on this standard break because of the width of the opening of the trouser. His contention, if the pant is trim the bottom needs more of a break. Now if you've paid any attention to, not only current trends but really the trend of the last few years, especially in Europe, slim trousers are being worn with very little to no break even bordering on short, by many standards. I am one of these adherents and have been for many years. I believe that the little or no break on a trouser looks clean and refined; giving one the opportunity to show some sock or in the summer some ankle.
The point to all of this is if you care about how you look take stock in knowing what you like, what's currently in style and most importantly have your own sense of style and insist on it with your tailor .
Regards,
Riad
