Seven suits that don't fit
 
Dang, I have to go to a party tonight and none of my suits fit. I'm just gonna have to get rid of them. Not just that, a bunch of shirts too. It's gonna be sad to see my nice clothes go away.

What size are they, Kuan?

Yeah, that's why I don't want to lose too much weight. I spent good money on my suits while I was in my fat man stage and they're the only decent looking ones I own. ;)

Kuan, they don't have to go away you know....you can get back into them if thats the problem...

Kuan, can't you just get them tailored? Or are you eating a little too much...:o

I guess it depends upon which direction you're going, up or down, weight-wise. I'm always afraid to get rid of clothes if I lose weight. I guess it's a lack of self-confidence in my ability to keep my weight down.

This year I got rid of everything I had in my closet that didn't fit (mostly too big), and am maintaining so far. Hell, if nothing else, it's a good excuse to go out and get some new clothes.

Check if there's a "Dress for Success" program in your area. They, and other similar charities, take donations of business clothing to assist the needy that are trying to get back into the workforce.

I just gave mine to Goodwill, I think. I keep wondering if I'm going to run into some homeless guy wearing one of my monogramed dress shirts . . . .

I had several nice suits that I wore to work while I was a mid-20s single bachelor.

Enter the "business casual" era. Suits swapped in favor of khaki pants and Polo shirts.

Age heads toward the mid thirties...I'm now married and raising a small family...and a potbelly.

Decide to switch gears in my career...in my forties by then. Where's that interview suit? Oh, here it is and WHOA! It won't fit!! And neither will the others!!! :eek:

Had to head over to "The Men's Wearhouse" for a couple of new suits with a more forgiving waistline...a few inches wider than my Euro-cut body in the old days... :(

Yeah you don't want those 70's bell bottom disco suits anyway. ;)

I think I can get the 38's tailored, all the 40's have to go. I dropped like 15lbs since I last wore my suits.

The website says nothing about men's suits. It's all about women.

There's quite a few organizations, like Clothes That Make the Man; Working Wardrobe; Clothes That Work
