Thank you for your efforts. Would be nice if you do a video on wearing men's swimwear, and whether to wear underwear with them or not. A lot of men get this wrong.

[@marceloviana4876]

This content was definitely missing from youtube. Updating the older videos of this playlist and making new ones for other articles of clothing could never be a bad idea.

Thomas has a nice soothing voice to listen to. He could easily have another gig doing audio books.

[@audiovisual_404]

I'm getting ready for my prom and this is actually super helpful as the shirt I thrifted is a bit too large :)

[@kaio62324]

Antonio, this is the BEST video so far. The gem of the gems. the apex of RMRS. Thank you, I'm buying a sewing machine TODAY. Not kidding.

[@teinelona7]

Had to re-fit my grandson's men's size Small aloha shirt because there were only men's sizes and he wears a size 12-14 boys. I was going to do the exact same things as you demonstrate but I don't think I would have done the sleeves correctly without these helpful tips. So thank you!!

[@dhaloh]

I'm a woman but I really like men's clothing cause it's more masculine and professional looking but the shirt is definitely a little too big for me. This video helps a ton, thank you!

[@thisoldbelair]

I’ve come to the conclusion recently that almost everything needs to be tailored to fit you properly, with few exceptions. Especially for skinny lanky guys like me. Took me 30 years to realize this.

[@jcj68]

Go Thomas! Great video. I like how you got in your intro "He's so cool" LOL.

[@LK2.O]

I really struggle being a 30" waist, also 5'7" with a broad chest and no dress shirts seem to fit around my neck area

[@smithy1578]

Smol boi gang I am short with a wide chest as well

[@whiteninjachild]

5'7" 32 inch waist and an 18 inch neck. Broad shoulders. If they would sell a shirt with an xl chest and arms and medium in the belly id be so happy

[@izzatirfan1995]

Just by custom dress shirts

[@Shuddho1980]

Lol almost thats exactly me. 5’7” with 31 inch waist and 41 inch chest and thick ass neck. Anything off the rack where I can fasten the neck button is inevitably too baggy at the waist, too long at the hems and arms. Luckily, where I live, getting alterations from a tailor is cheap.

[@vintagejock3951]

@RA AR i am 5'8 with 32inch waist. I also have broader chest and shoulders relative to waist

[@aceofcards2340]

As a man who did this will goodwill clothes i gotta go to school telling people my clothes was custom tailored. Not only that it made me feel rich since i made it fit.

[@jasonthegreat5215]

Damn that’s some quality content, thank you man. Got the sewing machine and gonna give this a whirl. Wish me luck bro 😎

[@adeanh1]

Antonio, I was just wondering about this! My shirts are great, but they are poochy at the waist. Nice work! And good choice on Thomas. I think he'll augment the channel nicely.

[@ericilkwatson5557]

Hi there! I was hoping to get some advice on tailoring my shirts. I'm a man with broad shoulders and a larger chest, but my hands are quite thin. Because of this, I often have to buy larger shirts, which means that I end up with too much material in the sleeves with "bat wings." I've been trying to find videos online that can show me how to remove this extra material, but most of them focus on removing material from the sides and the sleeves at the same time. Do you have any tips on how to tailor shirt sleeves specifically? Thank you!

[@Krishna-fk2co]

Thank you for this information

[@nah2860]

Real men...know how to sew.

[@HelghastSon]

I never realized how easy it was to tailor.

[@tjswc1458]

Any tips for guys with different sizes considering ther body. I have a collar xl an chest l and waist m, so i never find any shirts that fit well.

[@learningbird9940]

Search a tailor for a tailor made shirt. Yes...the way things were done 50 and 100 years ago.

[@CoverofWinter]

It doesn't have to be a bespoke shirt worth hundreds of dollars, but a shirt from a tailor will make you feel silly for trying brand stuff that never fit.

[@terequa]

thank u finally i found an easy way

[@SapphireAboleth]

Please iron before you sewing if it's wrinkled and you set it with a seam it would look good

I have 10 or more high price shirts from famous shirt makers. Is it possible to tailor those with good result?

[@kapska1516]

Did somebody try it out themselves? How did it turn_out? I'm thinking about trying this but I never sewed before

[@Fox-Paw]

Hi, I've got a question. In my case, my dress shirt got a good fit at my thorax but is a bit baggy by the stomach. In addition to this, the side hems are these double-layered fabric-thicker parts (No idea what they may be called), and this creates a problem. Because it would not look good to in the middle of the shirt go from these thicker double-stitched parts into a single stitch without layered fabric, so I'm just curious whether you have any tips for this scenario...

[@pricklypear7516]

The seams you're talking about are either French seams or flat-felled seams. And you're right: NOBODY who wants to look professional would do this wretched "hack" (literally) to their dress shirts; they'll end up with a horrible mess of puckers and unprofessional-looking stitching. It is possible to apply shallow side- and back-darts to a dress shirt to take up the slack, but if you're not an experienced seamster, it's a really bad idea. (If you notice in the thumbnail, the shirt on the left is actually a couple sizes bigger than the "fixed" shirt. The shoulder seams are sloping off his shoulders, the sleeves are rucked up at the wrist, and -- of course -- the middle looks baggy. (This is actually a pretty aggravating video.)

[@123pb]

whats up with the snarky tone?

[@hunterxsimple3821]

One question: why do you have to use safety pins first, and sewing pins second? And why do you have to turn the shirt inside out?

[@panagiotispina]

So you can take off the shirt and then insert the sewing pins so when you make the stitches you can take the pin easily because the safety pin is more difficult to remove

[@hunterxsimple3821]

@@panagiotispina but what if you don't have safety pins? And is it illegal to use only sewing pins in the first place?

[@panagiotispina]

@@hunterxsimple3821 hahaha of course it's not illegal but when you mark your clothing after you wear it when you proceed to take it off the sewing pin may fall

[@hunterxsimple3821]

@@panagiotispina oh

[@panagiotispina]

@@hunterxsimple3821 don't try this on your expensive clothes try it on something cheaper because you might not get the results you wanted and ruin something. If you have the money you can take it to a tailor but it can get pricey so do it on the clothes that worth it

[@blkgostnone4092]

This is dope

[@Manuel421]

Truly curious I commented this on the GG channel but no response what is your opinion on cropped trousers? Do you think they look bad or are just a short term thing? Honestly I don't think they look that bad as long as you don't overdo it and make them too high. I feel a couple inches from your normal length is still somewhat modest. My pants are normal length however I feel like my drawstring Seersucker pants could be a couple inches shorter because they look a bit sloppy not sure how to explain it but yeah a shorter look would be neater on those pairs. Last thing is season during the hotter months I don't think they look out of place.

[@CoverofWinter]

GG pretty much covered the topic with their most recent video and pretty much boils down to a fad trying too hard. Maybe they work for you but it fits more on a more modern look than classic style.

[@Manuel421]

@@CoverofWinter My regular pants are full length so no worries I'm just asking about my drawstring pants that I wear for lounging at home. They tend to look a bit sloppy at full length or perhaps I should just iron them instead of going for a cropped look? I understand where you're coming from though and I appreciate the insight. I think you misunderstood a little it's not my habit to wear cropped pants in general I'm just talking about my lounge pants if I should try an inch shorter or just iron them out so they look less wrinkly at the bottom.

[@CoverofWinter]

@@Manuel421 Gotcha. It's more difficult to guess then what would be best but for lounging at home they are probably perfectly fine I would guess.

[@Manuel421]

@@CoverofWinter It does get a bit difficult I agree. Right now the lounge pants are also full length but maybe I could go an inch or 2 shorter next time unless theres a brand of seersucker drawstring pants that are high quality and wont wrinkle at the bottom but they tend to be very expensive just from browsing online. Anyway I'll figure something out thanks again!

[@theDapperVault]

Thomas, the alterations Guru! Are you a tailor as well?! 🤔

[@zahid5443]

can you teach me how to cut the sleeves of a shirt that is too long and also a shirt that is too long? sorry because I'm not good at English 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Mbnewman087]

Worth it if you snag goodwill clothes.

[@wolfhawk1999]

PRO TIP: Shirt stays. They are like $15 and they hold your shirt in place perfectly. You're welcome.

[@Spivonious]

That doesn't help when the shirt is made for someone with a 34" waist and I have a 30" waist. It is impossible (in the US, at least) to find button down shirts that fit properly. They either fit in the waist and are too tight in the chest/shoulders, or fit in the chest/shoulders but balloon at the waist.

[@emvisuals]

Shirt stays does not always work with most of the body types and dress shirts.

[@gxrluv]

Is it common to always needing a dress shirt tailored? Seems like I always have to.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I would say yes especially when your body changes.

[@Littlemineslaps]

something I like to do is flip the dress shirt over, unbutton the top and bottom button, then slide it on like a t shirt

"If you're slim or have an athletic build it can be difficult to find a shirt that fits off the rack", simply put, us thin folk don't all have the money to afford custom fit every time we buy an item of clothing. My build and size sits somewhere between the top child size and the smallest adult size. These tips on fitting your own clothes at home are essential for some of us.
