Do same sized suited come with different size pants?

[JEDI]

I was at burlington coat factory. i saw a suit that i liked.

I wear size 40R for my suit. but all the pants are size 34. I have a 30" waist.

WTF? what if you're skinner/fatter than a 34waist?

All suits through 46 come with trousers that are 6" less. So, a 42R will come with a 36" trouser. 48 and up come with a 5" difference.

This is universal.

Get a bigger size and pay for alterations .... thats what I have to do.

Have to settle for buying 54 size suit so it would fit my shoulders, and then alter the pants.

That's not true. For the most part that is accurate, however you can find European and athletic cut suits that the drop can be 7" or 8" even.

What you do it get ones that fit as closely as you can and have a tailor alter them to fit you.

Very few suitmakers use a 7" difference. Mostly Italian, but very few, and definitely none sold at the Burlington Coat Factory.

Go to Boscov's

tell the person in the Mens dept, you need a "seperate's" suit.

it will cost about $25. extra but,you can get pants and jacket seperate,and in the sizes you want.

I wear a 50-52 jacket,but ,did not need the extra Fat pants that go with that
size Jacket.

Nice looking suit too.

i have the same problem. size 42/44 jacket, size 32/33 waist. i had to get one custom tailored in HK/China.

 

[JEDI]

was tempted to swap pants from a 36R to get the right size pants.

but decided not to

Normal alterations are free if you buy the suit in a place like Nordstroms.

I need a 46" jacket and have a 32/22" waist. They can't just take the pants in because the back pockets would overlap at the seam, so they essentially cut the pants apart along the inseam and outerseam and build new pants from the original. It's pretty amazing to me because I can't really tell that the pants have been altered.

As anonymouschris points out, one could also have the suits tailor made... I but I've only owned three suits in my life, and I'm just not at that point where it seems necessary to have them made.


I'm not sure any of this is relevant to a conversation that starts with a suit at the Burlington Coat Factory.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I bought a seperates suit;and walked out the door with ths stuff ready to wear.

No tailoring needed,no havong to drive back another 35 min drive one way to pick up pants that may or may not have been sewn correctly.

The stuff fit off the rack,i tried 2 pair of pants on,and one pair fit perfect,
the other pair was loose in the waist.

Cost was like $20 extra,for me to be able towalk out the door,with correct fitting Suit.

burlington coat factory, classy. You must really impress at the board meeting.

I own three suits, all of which were measured during purchase 38"L in the jacket and 30x36" in the trousers. No tailering required
