Now this is neat. I've actually never even heard about this. I just found an old thread on here about how to do it. I'm going to have to give it a try. Maybe I actually can get the best of both worlds!
Hi guys,
I'm of a pretty tall and thin build, and so I often have to sacrifice cuffs on my vintage suit trousers in order to extend the inseam to a serviceable length. As much as this bothers me sometimes (I like the look of cuffed trousers), I generally prefer a wearable suit to an unwearable...
It actually meets two of the three criteria for determining length--fully covering the seat of my pants and dividing my height in half from the top of the collar to the floor. For it to meet the third is rendered impossible by the fact that I have extraordinarily long arms, so much so in fact...
Thanks! Yep, I think so. I may need to extend the sleeves a bit (not an issue as there is plenty of fabric to do so), but it should make for a nice breezy addition to my wardrobe.
Hi all,
I got this suit from a local vintage store the other day. Nice blue/grey double breasted with Hollywood waist on the pants. The fabric is a good medium-heavy weight and has a really nice drape to it. I'm wondering if you guys can help me put a date on it? No labels except the one...
