Feel ya. All good

Have you tried getting a pair that's slightly looser and then going to a tailor? Helps on feeling out the right fit.

(or just tailor from the get go)

Sizing and fit is always weird between brands.

Sounds about right- dress clothing should be more fitting than casual clothing. Agree that tailoring/custom shirts and suits can make the best of the situation.

I’m working at a small firm that is more like a one-stop shop. We’ve had instances where a client of ours have asked for a deliverable that is outside of our expertise and that we need specialists for. However, the relationship partner (is that what they’re called) for some reason wants everything to go through them rather than having the specialists directly engage with the client. Is there some legal/ethical reason for this? Or is this just an act to protect their turf?
