Unless you are lucky enough to know some one who is a master with a needle, thread and scissors!
I buy most of my suits from Good Will and second hand stores, then have them adjusted a little here and there if they need it. If it's not too much alteration, I can do a little, but not at all what a good tailor could do. I have found some very good suits at the Good Will stores for extremely low prices.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
