We had been invited to a wedding, a whole day invite not just the evening, which meant one thing we needed to buy GO a new outfit. In the past we’ve purchased his suits from specialised tailors and had them altered. He is a weird shape that means he has short arms and broad shoulders. We have always left it to the professionals, they know what they’re doing surely? It’s never really worked out.
The black one was smart enough but it pinched his arms and was a bit tight around his middle.
He looked very smart in his morning suit but it appeared to drown him slightly.
The grey suit was way too big and loose. No one seemed to be able to fit him with a suit. Then we realised he was like me; I can’t really but a whole outfit in one go, I’m much better when I buy separates and mix and match.
So we headed for Blackpool (with a pit stop at Guy’s Hamlet) to buy him a jacket and a pair of trousers with a fitted style in mind. It was like Goldilocks some were too big, some were too tight, some we too long or short. Eventually we found a jacket and trousers that were just right.
I think that after all of these years looking for a suit, we finally found one that is perfect. I think we can all agree that he looks gorgeous.
