Store-Bought Clothes Are DESIGNED To Fit Terribly. Here's Why?
I have a saying: store-bought clothes are made to fit everyone, which means they don't fit anyone. At all. Go grab a shirt from your closet and check the side seams-they're straight up and down. Your t-shirts, dress shirts, jeans, chinos, and polos don’t fit you perfectly, but it’s not your fault.
Manufacturers know we're all shaped differently, but it's cheaper to produce one size that fits everyone kinda okay than multiple versions for different body types.
Back in the 19th century, clothing was practically bespoke. If someone needed a new shirt, it was tailored to fit them perfectly. But with the rise of mass clothing production in the 20th century, consistent sizing got lost. There's no...

Hey, I'm SD, and today we're diving into a common but pesky problem known as the batwing-yep, that annoying excess fabric flapping under your armpit when you wear a dress shirt. This fabric just hangs loose, totally missing where your actual arm is, making you feel like you're wearing a parachute in disguise. Now, you might think fixing this is as simple as adjusting the side seams and sleeves,...

Tailoring Your Dress Shirts? Avoid MY Rookie Mistakes...
I love u
DEUCES clothing brand! Clothes that fit YOU!
* Some assembly required.
As someone who has entirely unstitched three pairs of jeans, I couldn't agree more on the seam ripper. I don't *have* a good seam ripper, I've just been torturing myself 😅
Not gonna lie, I think I got carpal tunnel just by reading that...ugh. I can't imagine!
I'm a gal that recently discovered your channel and can't wait to try your tips and tricks on some t-shirts I have--I hate the boxy cut of most t-shirts you find in the store, they're not flattering on anyone (unless you're Sponge Bob!). Your vidoes are fun and informative, I'm excited to try what I've learned in them and "remodel" my wardrobe!
Awesome to have ya! Good luck and have fun with your new tailoring addiction!
I'm a bit confused about this new format. It's a channel about tailoring clothes but does not show you any tutorials. Too much talk, no action!
Lighten up. He's got lots of tutorial videos on his channel. Not every video has to be a tutorial.
Bro doesn’t know how to see other videos on channels
@@antiquesrestoration3874 - if I need a history lesson on tailoring, I’d go watch the HISTORY CHANNEL!
I mean to be fair the thumbnail does say History Lesson...its not like I click baited you or anything.
@@kevinp8108 then why click on this video? The thumbnail clearly indicates that the video is a.........wait for it.........HISTORY LESSON.
I've been a skinny guy all my life but I recently started going to the gym. This helped a lot thanks!!!!
You're welcome! Definitely give it a shot, it will make any t-shirt look 1000 times better on you! Plus if you did it now you would look WAY better than a guy with "bigger" arms but big ole baggy shirt sleeves!
Interesting dude, I didn’t know this. It does make total sense. I started tailoring my first shirt by following your instructions and it took me over two hours just to get the pins in correctly. When you say it takes 20 minutes, that’s for someone with experience like yourself. Not a complete newbie like me. The first time I put the pins in I didn’t put them back through the fabrics so when I stood up half of them just fell on the ground. It took me 10 times replacing the pins before I got the fit correct and even now I’d like to adjust it. My friend told me that it’s easier just to make something from scratch. Idk. Anyways cool video
Making something from scratch requires a pattern. It's definitely NOT easier than making a few alterations.
Oh man I'm sorry you had that experience with your pins! You gave me a good idea to make a video on how to use them properly though. It's REALLY easy to do but I don't think I've been explaining the process properly enough. If you do it right the pins shouldn't fall out of your garment at all. And tailoring an already existing t-shirt is way easier than creating one from scratch. (to use an analogy I just used in a video I just filmed lol) it's kinda like having a kiln, clay, water, glaze and a table to make a clay pot. Sure, you can probably figure it out and make a decent enough clay pot right? Well what if someone handed you an already made pot that just needed the final coat of glaze sanded down a bit in a few spots. Which process is easier?
I’m not a big guy and I had to deal with this issue my whole life then I was paying to have my clothes tailored which got very expensive plus I would have to wait for weeks to have it done then I started wat I your channel bought a sewing machine and started sewing at first not so good but now I fit my tee shirts dress shirts and jeans so much better and to think how terrible it was in the past, I still have some issues with the stitches and don’t really know how to fix them but I keep trying, but all in all thank you so much you really helped me feel more confident in my look, keep on bringing it 👍 !!!
Kee it up bro! 👏
So awesome to hear you're tailoring your own clothes man! And I totally get it, you end up looking back and being like "wow...how did I not do this before and just wear off the rack clothes?" As far as your stitches go what exactly are you having issues with? It might come down to something simple like having different brands of thread in your spool and bobbin. Its usually an easy fix so DM me on IG @stylishdtailors if you wanna get to the bottom of it!
Thanks man I appreciate that!
So I found your channel within the last week, I got a used Singer this weekend. Getting a sheet for practice soon...
Heck yeah!! Welcome to the most addicting hobby in the world! The only downside is you won’t be able to wear non-tailored clothes for the rest of your life!
Great video. We learn much more from mistakes than we do from success.
So true!
All facts
Very true, thanks for watching!
🤬
You mad you didn't try this sooner? I was too!
I have a 900 page book on pattern making, It Blows my Mind!...with what you can do with darts, adding fullness and contouring. Not a lot in Life, Blows my Mind!
I got a beautiful workhorse Brother singer 15 clone from 1950 for just $12 at Goodwill. Other than my beloved Husqvarna from the 70s (6570 model in red), it is my favorite machine!
Great content, your production quality has dramatically improved. There’s a bunch of handheld sewing machines on the market, can you make a video of what is realistically possible with those tiny machines. I don’t think I believe the manufacturers claims haha
Thanks so much! And that's a good idea, theres some...questionable ones out there that's for sure...
So 2.5 for width on zigzag stich?
Actually if you're making a straight stitch it's NA, it only applies when making a zigzag stitch.
I just found you yesterday. It seems too simple and not fancy enough but... thank you. Now, I WILL buy that sewing machine and I WILL start tailoring my clothes. Question, Do you use darts AND take in the sides??? (Ive lost a lot of weight but cant afford to replace all my dress shirts, this could be a game changer for me)
You're right it is simple, and it CAN be fancy if you want it to be, its up to you! I like to use both darts and take in the sides but it isn't mandatory by any means. Simply taking in the sides will get you an EXCELLENT result on it's own.
@@StylishDTailors LOL, I meant the simpleness of "thank you". But I like how you think
Thank you
You're welcome!
Does the top thread or the bobbin thread have to match the shirt color? I saw the top stitch was white but doesn't show on the right side of the tee, lol I'm confused
Yup you want them to match
Wouldn't the bobbin thread need to match the garment you are sewing, if the item being sewn is turned inside out? This part confuses me, or are you supposed to 😅sew on the right side of the fabric when hemming? Thanks
Yes you would want the bobbin thread to match your garment as well as the spool of thread at the top.
@StylishDTailors thank you, love all the great content!
These days, both men's and women's clothing, off the rack, is designed for over weight (fat) people. It is, especially, noticeable in women's clothing. What was labeled as a size 14, in the early 70's is now labeled as a size 10, maybe 8, by now. I haven't checked in a while. Back then, Twiggy was a size 2. Today she would wear a size 10. Oy Vey! 😁✌🖖
OK, so I finally put my new Brother to use after plenty of practice on scrap material. The first side of the T-shirt went OK (other than taking off too much in the waist on both sides), but the second side was puckered in the back, although it was pinned and I thought it was straight. Easily done with such thin material. To help prevent this, do you iron and starch first? If so, I will definitely need to plan a few days to clear off my ironing board lol.
If your side seam is puckering I would double check your stitch tension first. You said it was only one side right? Or was it only puckered on the back side and not the front of the shirt?
@@StylishDTailors exactly. If puckered only in the back of one side but not in the front
There's something magnanimous about Guys getting behind a sewing machine. It's... I forgotten my original word but it Cool as F#@€!
Its like an honourable trade :)
Lol, how do you say in English...
Glad you’re making more content recently
Thanks! Consistency is definitely important and something that I'm working on getting better at
Thank you for your video i will get a big seam ripper lol .
Thank you for this
My pleasure!
I have a Singer from the early 90s that's still going strong.
Awesome! I bet it will continue to keep going strong too!
Покупай футболку по размеру!
Four !
82!!
@@StylishDTailors Sir, you really have 82 sewing machines at home? I thought four was excessive personally. But everything you do is big and bold, am I right?
Oh man, let me tell you that I'm totally into tailoring clothes for my kids. But I never had the courage to tailor my badly fitting shirts. But your video makes it look so easy. I guess I'll give it a try! Thank you so very much. And thank you too for giving other guys (like me) the courage to tell others that they love tailoring. That is not yet a matter of course these days.
Heck yeah man you got this, definitely give it a shot! And you're very welcome!
Keeping us fitted on a budget. Thanks StylishD
I got you!
I love your realness! Its so inspirational. And that you aren't afraid to show your mistakes and embrace them! Most tailor channels strive for perfection....but they miss the human element! You nailed it!
Thank you so much!!
Been sewing for 40 years & I swear by a Brother or Kenmore machine. Have fun with sewing, it'll save you tens of thousands!
I got a Kenmore at a thrift store for $40… It was practically brand new, whoever owned it never used it… Had the owners manual, box with all the attachments all original… I bet you they didn’t use this thing over five times
Thats an absolute steal, awesome!!
I have a 50+ year old Sears free-arm straight stretch machine! It doesn't like thick materials but it mends.
I just went ahead and got the exact one you use man. I trust you and that brother sewing machine has been an amazing upgrade from my 1970’s brother lol. Thrift stores are great for a durable beginner machine. That older one is cast iron and got way too heavy. It’s great to see you back stylish dad!
Oh heck yeah! How do you like it so far? I haven’t had a single problem with mine in the 5 years I’ve had it. It’s handled everything smooth as butter!
@@StylishDTailors mine has been going strong while tailoring and mending. You chose a workhorse of a machine.
... think I just fell in love with Stylish D Tailors. Thank you!
LOL! Glad to have ya here!
thank you so much for this....subscribed and love the vids...thanks brother!
You're very welcome my man!
I usually need the shoulders of a large, but the body/waist of a medium and your tips have been extremely helpful to make baggy shirts fit....subscribed!
Happy to help! That's a frustrating problem to have I get it!
Thanks bro… love your channel. Your doing a great job. 👍🏾.
I appreciate that! Glad to have you here!
@@StylishDTailors I appreciate you… I got a sewing machine from a thrift store for $40… Can’t believe I waited so long to do this, always wanted to but was afraid of what people would think of me… I’m a 6 foot two dark skin brother. Lol
@@StylishDTailors Thanks again bro keep doing your thing man
I been having this issue off and on for year with one my new machines. My other one is kenmore you can easily tell if threads come loose. Thank you man. Now I know when doubt go back basic re-thread the machine lol
Crazy how simple some of these fixes are huh haha!
@@StylishDTailors totally. Save my sanity lol
8:55 you lost me great humor
Thanks!
SD, what is your opinion on circular fabric cutters (right name??)? No trolling here, just asking the guy with experience. 😁✌🖖
Rotary cutters are great! They’re much easier to use when you’re cutting the fabric in a straight line actually.
@@StylishDTailors: Thank you. Yeah, Rotary. The word wouldn't come, this morning. 😁✌🖖
Hey Stylish D, what cost machine do you recommend? I notice the Brother ST371hd is about £270. Is a £470 machine not necessary to spend, a £270 is value enough.
Honestly even the machine I have is way overkill for a beginner. I usually suggest you look for a used machine that’s about $40-$80. Now that I think about it I’ve suggested that price for awhile without factoring inflation or the pandemic, so I’d move that to $60-$100.
0:14 imma need the workout routine too bruv, gotta fill ouy suma these shirts.
Hah, lots of Little Debbie snacks!
Can you put darts in a shirtwaist dress that has a box pleat on the back?
I would suggest against it, the box pleat will end up sticking out kinda funny and it's hard to work around.
Great tips. Thanks to your channel, I was able to revive my sewing skills and now many of my shirts fit me well.
Awesome to hear, and thanks for the kind words!
Okay to have it fit like a pro like you're showing and your thumbnail you have to have muscles you got any tips like to put muscles in the shirt????
Hah, their actually inflatable muscles that I got on Amazon, pretty realistic though huh??
"Putting muscles in the shirt" It's called Working Out. It's really just as simple and easy as SD's sewing tips. You can do it at home, with some dumbbells. You just have to keep at it. 😁✌🖖
