The problem with buying off the rack suits.

But a good way to stretch your budget.

I hate to see what they have planned when he discovers his pants are too tight.

He needs to do what I did… get a needle and thread and hem his own pants… It takes a while, but it can be done.

Try all he wants, he’ll never get his customer’s legs the same length! They WERE exactly the right length to reach the ground!

This is unnecessary, it’ll ride up wear.

He is making great adjustments in transitioning from being a chiropractor.

Gives new meaning to the term, “Buying off the rack”

But now the sleeves will be too short…

I hate when this happens….a bit of a stretch….

A torture similar to many years ago when the shoe sales person said, “Don’t worry, those shoes will stretch.”

Hi, Bleeb. BTW – That jacket is too big for you.

“Give it another turn, I need just a skosh more room in the seat!”

Geez. I hope his tie is long enough

Dis is what happens when you stiff Jimmy “da Taylor” Dumerettistein.

I’d hate to see how this Haberdasher fits that jacket for Bleeb…

Clothing store improves profit margin by laying off the tailor.

But then your shirt will be too short! It never ends does it?

I think the salesman should be concerned about his hairy mouth.

Ooh and a chiropractor appt at the same time? Sweet

Buy your clothes where Super heroes get theirs! Movies have proved that clothes bought there ALWAYS fit perfectly, no matter what you do to them, and do not shrink or burn; and holes repair themselves instantly.

Barducci? Shouldn’t that be Procustes?

“Trust me.” is a sure sign that the speaker is lying.

That brings new meaning to custom fit men’s wear…

Old Maxwell Street…. Chicago

And it will pop your back…

It is interesting that they actually have one in the store. They must do this a lot.

But now all the stuff he has at home will be too short.

Plaid doesn’t suit you Bleeb. You need something in a stripe to make you look taller.

Looking dapper there Bleeb.

Bleeb picked out the coat he wants.

His mouth looks terrifying! Is that supposed to be a beard?

Mafia tailor?

Sam, you made the pants too long—er—short.
