This is a true story from my weekend.
On Saturday, I went to Roderick Charles to buy a new suit. I liked the fit of the suit jacket so the tailor asked me: "Would sir like to try on the trousers?" I did.
On returning from the changing from, the tailor asked "How do the trousers fit sir?" I said they were fine. He put his fingers down the front of the 36"-waist and said "Mmm... they're a bit tight on you sir. Would sir mind if I got them taken out by half an inch?" Realising I was a fat bastard, I said OK.
The tailor then said with a straight face: "Many of our customers played a lot of sport in their youth, like you sir, so are quite muscular down their sides".
With that I bought two suits.
As the cash desk, I then noticed he'd written that the trousers should be taken out three quarters of an inch. Cheeky bastard.

maybe you should take it as a hint and lose a few stone...
Brilliant. A true pro.
