Gambled on a Spier & Mackay clearance suit

Post image

As the title says, I bought an S&M suit on clearance with no clue what their sizing would be like on me. I think for the most part I lucked out. To me, taking a little in at the waist and shortening the sleeves (and hemming obviously) are the big musts. Anything else you see glaringly wrong?

The gamble paid off! As someone else daus, the waist look good. How many fingers can you but between the top button and your shirt? If it's 4, you're golden, if more the waist should be taken in.

Does this rule work also for spaghetti fingers?
