Everyone’s gotta start somewhere. I do know that it’s not easy for trans men to get a well-fitting suit. I’m familiar with one case where the tailor sent the suit back without any alterations, because they thought the body proportions given by the shop were a mistake. That was rather infuriating to see, but it worked out in the end. I guess what I’m saying is that you should give yourself plenty of time in advance to get your next suit. It may not be the “come back in a week for pickup” that most men are used to.

Hell, I know a cis guy who had to visit 8 different places to find a suit that fit him. He’s a normal looking guy, but the proportions between his hips and waist was somehow an outlier for 99% of the pants he tried on.
