[The Duke]

Good evening, I apologize if this is not in the correct section of the forum, I am new here (hello by the way). I am looking at getting another suit, the problem is that I have been loosing weight (65 lbs down right now) and have about another 20 lbs to go. Obviously my suits no longer fit me, and I miss having them. Do you think if I got a suit now that fit, and then when I finished loosing weight got it tailored, would that work? Or will it be to much of a difference to get it tailored? It’s been a long road, and will be several months until I shed the last few pounds, and I am getting impatient. Any comments would be appreciated, thanks!

I would buy any clothes for the size you are now or wait it out Can you wear a blazer in the meantime? They are usually at every thrift store. Sometimes we say we want to lose twenty pounds and it can take six months to a year or it is just does not happen at all. I know.

That depends on how much more weight you plan on shedding. If it's only a few pounds, less than 10, you might be able to keep adjustments to a small amount. However, more than that and you're going to be doing a lot of tailoring. If it's the latter, I'd just get one suit now that is very versatile and tailor it later when you've reached your final weight and save the bulk of your purchases for when you're done with the weight loss. The other option, get a couple of suits and don't adjust those later. Keep them in case your weight fluctuates.
