Blazers for small guys?
I’m going to be starting a new job in February and will need a couple of well-fitting suits before then. I’m short & skinny (5’6”, 32” chest, 39” shoulders, 28” waist) and in all my years of thrifting & secondhand shopping I’ve never found a blazer that even comes close to fitting. Ideally I’d like to keep it under $500 with tailoring.
I’m in LA so have access to most major brands and solid tailoring services. I have some very basic sewing/tailoring skills and tailor most of my pants to fit. I have several nice pairs of dress pants already and am primarily looking for blazers. I would strongly prefer to buy in-person or at least from a brand that I can try on before purchasing.
Are there any brands that make decent blazers for small guys? I’m fine buying something in a youth size as long as it’s decent quality and actually fits.
If not, are there any made-to-measure brands you can recommend? I’ve seen extremely mixed reviews of MTM brands like Indochino and Suit Supply.
Thanks guys!
