I feel this pain. We just went to Von Maur to buy Jeff a suit for his son's wedding because we thought we'd be safe with Hart Schaffner and Marx. However, what we ended up with was a suit with a barely acceptable lapel width and trouser width, same. And the fabric (wool) and lining (?) was so thin that the yoke of a standard dress shirt creates a line across the back. We still bought it, however, because we were out of time. We then learned the tailor would only address sleeve length, hem and waist, and upper seat. I predict they will still be tight in the crotch but we'll have to wait til we get back and take them to a different tailor to address that because I'm not the one (this time). To wit, for the older kid's wedding I had to rip and rework the waist and seat on some ridiculously slim pants selected by the rental place's AI program to fit a reasonably fit 64-year old dad bod! (Fail.) To their credit, I guess, they did not charge us extra for returning what was essentially a different pair of pants.
Hats have got to make a comeback. Maybe for women too. I think could pull off a nice cloche. But definitely for men.
YES!
Lately, though, I'm not a fan of red baseball caps.
Even worse with a suit. It reminds me of a turd in a punchbowl.
Fedoras forever. Also lunch and cocktail hats for women.
