What size suit are you?
« on: December 30, 2020, 04:03:35 PM »
I'm starting a new side hustle and trying to figure out what the most common sizes are. If you don't mind helping a brother out, please comment with your size and don't forget to indicate whether it's short, long or regular. Thank you in advance!

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

hint:
if you can make suits that are 1 size (2in) bigger at the pants waist (as well as the Jacket belly) then the shoulders, will be a good sell.
E.G. 42 Jacket usually sells with 36 pants. pair it with a 38

AFAF

Sometimes buying a size larger but in a slimmer cut can help.

Or just sell separates.

Unless your primarily working with a couple of solid colors, it is very difficult to sell separates. You need to hold a lot of inventory.

Or just sell separates.
And make sure each piece is below the threshold for NYS sales tax.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Remember the old saying: you can get a model T in any color, as long as it's black.

Another good reason for separates.

and let me guess, you can wear a shirt in any color, so long as it's white.

Before you start a garment or clothing business please pm me. I can share some valuable information.

Indeed. Indeed.

Though I don't wear black suits, I can't stand them. But my sons only wear black suits (or pants, etc.).
