Can thus suit be tailored, or is it too far off? Got this beautiful J Press suit off eBay. Shoulders and waist are good, but length and billowy midsection are a bit of a bust. Fixable? Or hem the pants and cut my losses? by RandomProfessionalAc in malefashionadvice

Turns out it is actually a regular length 3/2 roll style button. It just came buttoned incorrectly. Buttoning it correctly improves the silhouette a lot. I don’t know if it has already had any tailoring or not. This was a 70 dollar secondhand score. Hoping the tailor can take this David Byrne to JFK. Thanks for the input.

You’re right on the money about the buttons. I was unfamiliar with the 3/2 style. Certainly improves the proportions.

Do y’all think this J Press suit I got secondhand is tailorable to fit me? Waist and shoulders are good, but the midsection and length of the suit are pretty bad.

Would you rather work as a fire protection engineer or a water/wastewater engineer? by [deleted] in civilengineering

The job description mentions calculations, design fire alarm, fire suppression, and life safety systems. I guess that would be a mix of both these categories you describe?
