Tfw too fit to wear a suit

>tried to find pictures of powerlifters in tuxedo
>get this

you win this time, google...

He takes a shit load of roids. Unless you are doing the same you have nothing to worry about because you will never even get close to looking like him.

still looks like shit honestly

Say that to his face not online see what happens

Bullshit. If that guy would:
>make the jacket shorter
>make the hip area of the jacket narrower
>choose a shirt with a less huge collar
>maybe have the top button of the jacket a bit higher
That suit would look fine.

I dont get it. that suit it obviously custom made. But if it is custom made.., why the fuck isnt the pants more tapered? His thighs might be big, but there is a ridiculous amount of extra fabric around the calves.

If you're too big to wear a suit you're simply too big in general imo.
Being jacked is nice but it's actually extremely counter productive when you can only wear track pants and wife beaters.
If you have an aesthetic goal in mind you should always prioritize being able to wear nice clothes over the size of your muscles.

>you can only wear track pants and wife beaters
but that's the goal
C'mon

that's an old picture and suits were baggier back then but even so black people in America often like their suits to fit like that anyway

Oh cmon you cant seriously tell me that is a case of preference. Please tell me that is just someone who has absolutely no clue what hes doing..

well he's a millionaire and I don't think wardrobe would have dared to send him out like that

baggy suits are still common today among black people who wear them to church in the American deep south

My parents used to sell suits and they would always joke about the ripped manlets who would show up asking for a suit and how literally impossible to dress they were.
They had to get them a jacket two sizes larger than the pants and then do some hardcore tailoring so it didn't look too much like a grocery bag. Protip it still did.
Fucking manlets, I swear.

>parents come back from work, visibly annoyed and tired
>mom dad what's wrong?
>nothing, just those ripped manlets again
>ah yeah, they never learn do they

basketball players dressing like shit was common until the NBA implemented their dress code

Alterations are a thing. As are split sizes.

>uneducated niggers don't know how to dress appropriately
What a shock.

just mad you can't match my swag

>used to sell

I can tell, they were clearly shit at selling suits if they couldn't adequately size one to someone's body shape.

Splitting suits is a quick way to end up with a fuck load of unsellable stock.

They retired, why are you so mad tiny man?
There's only so much you can to accommodate freaks of nature.

Anyone with a physique that is even slight out of the norm needs to have a suit tailored. Generally if shoulders and quads are bigger in some form a bigger suit can just have the pant legs/jacket sleeves taken up and the waist of the jacket brought in. That's the cheapest method, there's plenty of other ways to get one looking far more fitted and uniformed if your proportions don't allow it.

>forgot to remove trip before

That's not viable in some cases. I had a guy who rowed and played water polo. He was a 56(46) jacket and 32 waist. A 56 jacket suit comes with 40 inch waist trousers. It's not physically possible to take in the waist 8 inches. I need to have my trousers taken in 3 inches and our tailor always complained because it altered the line of the trousers and any more would fuck with the back pocket placement.

Is it possible to expand the legs of a pair of suit trousers? I bought the suit about 12 months ago and the legs were already quite slim-fitting, but since taking up lifting, the legs have become a bit too tight.

In that case getting something made would be just as costly. At least you know that would fit perfectly.

For reference I compete in classic physique and due to my taper I've had to get most of my jackets completely taken in rather than made from scratch. They all look fine, there's no issue in that regard as long as everything is fitted to your body.

Not really. That's going to require extra fabric as opposed to taking it out. Get a larger pair and see if the waist fits you, otherwise you'll need some made for you. It's not as expensive as one would imagine.

Unless you're on olympia level gear your proportions are probably still human so that's fine. Saying
>hurr tailoring
as if it's a magic wand is retarded. There are both physical and financial limitations on what can be achieved off the rack.

If you have to get involved with the shoulder of a jacket it's going to cost you significant cash and I wouldn't even consider it unless I was 100% in the tailor's ability.

Im not albfag but i kinda agree with him. I know a thing or 2 about tailoring and a short muscular person shouldnt be that much of a challenge. Take a wide shoulder jacket, shorten the sleeves, taper the waist and hips, shorten the pants, and youve pretty much got a suit that looks twice as good on them as a regular of the rack suit on a regular person.

That's tracy mcgrady. The studio fucked up his suit and couldn't get him a new one in time. He had to borrow shaqs suit.

First rule of getting a suit tailored is: You don't ever touch the shoulders of a jacket. If you must get a jacket tailored, you find something that the shoulders fit and the sleeves are either adequate or too long. That's basic stuff.

And getting a suit made or tailored to your body IS a magic wand. You're buying a suit, if you can't blow $100 on it then you're buying whatever is on sale on the discount rack anyway.

>What is custom made
Visit Saville row you pleb

100$? Where do you live ethiopia?

Exactly my point.

You just buy separates in that case. You can buy a jacket and pants separately.

What's your point exactly?
If you know a thing or two about tailoring, why do you claim you can take a suit that's oversized everywhere except the shoulders and "simply" take everything in and it's supposed to look as good if not better than a stock suit?
Also if you think suits automatically look better on muscular gymrats you probably don't know much about them in the first place.
That's true for tshirts and polos but there's a bit more thought regarding cuts and proportions going into suits than H&M tshirts.

>why do you claim you can take a suit that's oversized everywhere except the shoulders and "simply" take everything in and it's supposed to look as good if not better than a stock suit?
Yes i am claiming that. Unless the person is ridiculously muscular that can easily be done. And i dont believe your parents happen to live next to a pro bodybuilding gym where only super huge manlets come.

If you arent too weirdly proportioned, it can definitly be done as i described.

It's called a zoot suit, it's been nigga fashion since the 20's of the last century

Suits should still be flattering to the body without looking ridiculous. Something that fits a taper well but still flows nicely from the body looks fantastic.

I work in an office where someone called me out for wearing the same tie as I did one day the week before, with a comment of "you wore that tie 2 weeks ago, do you only own 13 different ties or something?". So yes, even if my only experience in dressing myself came from that office, I do think I know a thing or two about tailoring. And yes, it is a magic wand that makes clothes look much better. Or you get one made for your exact proportions. It's not as big of a deal as you're making it out to be.

>"you wore that tie 2 weeks ago, do you only own 13 different ties or something?"
That sounds so stupid. I'd wanted to respond with
>What the fuck am I, your personal runway model? If you want me to wear more ties why don't you buy me another fistful?
And then I'd have come to work wearing the same tie for the next week at least and asked the guy daily what he thinks about it, pretending like I was wearing a new one every day.

>custom text

Kek, just leave it as "custom text"

No, change it to Sample Text

I'd say more like 16%.

Kek

You should always get your suits tailored in the first place.

> you'll never look big in a suit

why even lift?

Daniel Craig is tiny compared to Calum

Kai has padded shoulders to add a few inches to his width, wouldn't be surprised if everything else is passed too

Definitely not 10%. Probably from 13-17%

Nigga had pec implants bruh.

Are you fit, or do you not fit? Choose one

fuck off caleb
