Shitlords - How the Fats Have Ruined Suits For any fellow Shitlords who work in professional fields that require suit wearing, I'm sure you've gone to shop for a suit OTR (off the rack) and thought...holy shit this looks like a tent on me.. The fats of America have ruined men's suits. This all comes down to "Drop" measurement. The drop refers to the difference in the chest measurement and the waist measurement of the suit. And the jackets are cut to fit the waist measurement. American suits generally come in a Drop 6 (theoretically)....they jackets are actually cut at Drop 5 (to allow for muffin top fatasses). This means that If you have a 44 inch chest....they cut for 39 waist. Fatass. A 40 inch chest cuts for a 35 inch waist. Fatass and probably short. That means they expect someone w/ a 30 inch waist to be a 35 inch chest......which would be a really short person.  An "athletic" cut suit is a Drop 7. Meaning they consider a 44 inch chest with a 37 inch waist "Athletic." Hint....thats still fucking fat. So what do you do if you have a say, Drop 12 like many actually athletic men might? You could buy separates, but the jacket will still be cut like a damn tent. And you can't tailor that much. Basically....the fat assholes of America have made it so that the only way an actually athletic man can get a well fitting suit is to go Bespoke.....and pony up huge $$. Fuck you fat assholes.
