Title: Losing Fat - Suit Fit
Post by: Roger Bacon on March 25, 2011, 08:16:28 PM: I'm 190, probably about 16% bodyfat. I just got a great brooks brothers suit that fits me perfect. Size 43R Jacket.

If I lose about 15 pounds of fat will this suit still fit me? My chest and shoulders shouldn't shrink any I would think? I can always get the waist/ass taken in?

In my case, when I was 220lb, I wore a 52 long and the waist had to be massively tailored so it would fit properly. After I came off the sauce and stopped training, I shrunk down to 180lb. I now wear a 42 long. So 50lb loss = about 10 inch loss on the chest measurement. My bodyfat is pretty much the same.

It's not like you're Obama or something here... used car dealers do not have to wear suit ::) ::)

1) She has never worn a thong
2) Her cooter forrest extends past her belly button and onto her thighs
3) She has no earthly idea what a "beejer" is

LOL i was just thinking the same thing- if you weigh 190 at 15% you've got bigger problems than getting into that fucking suit.
