Appreciate the feedback! I got the waistcoat from Amazon ๐ most everything I own is fake cheap clothes ๐ธ
That's the way to do it. Buy cheap, durable, decent looking clothing. Then have it tailored and it'll look great.
Have been doing this for years! Find a good tailor, and they can make "off the rack" look like you paid much more for a piece than you did.
I haven't found a tailor i've really clicked with out here, but i knew a fantastic one 20 years ago in Austin. She did mostly wedding dresses and when i popped in the shop she was surprised (she did a friend's wedding dress). I looked sharp as fuck.
Then I got married and now my wife and I compete to see who cooks better. (the cats decide. i don't know how as they don't eat people food, but we have made them the judges) I have gained so much (happy) weight
