Also, I think men’s stores should carry a size of suit called “yeshiva guy”.
See, mens suits come in 3 types of size (leaving out “short” and “Tall”). There is regular, athletic, and portly.
Regular means there is a 6 inch drop from shoulders to waist. So a 40 regular has 40 inch shoulders, and a 34 inch waist.
Athletic means an 8 inch drop. So a 40 Athletic has 40 inch shoulders and a 32 inch waist.
Portly has a 2 inch drop. So a 40 portly has 40 inch shoulders and a 38 inch waist.
You see the gap here?
Enter the size 40 Yeshiva Guy. 40 inch shoulders and a 36 inch waist. Almost every yeshiva guy I know would fall into this sizing category.
Every time you go to buy a suit, you put on a jacket and either the shoulders are drooping off the side, or the buttons won’t close. Take a portly, and the waist is swimming.
