will go to the tailor for a specific answer, but if anyone knows whether there’s a limit to tailoring… i recently got a suit recut, as i inherited it (it’s a brioni silk/super 150s so i’ll do what it takes), but it was basically taking a 44R down to a 42R. it’s mostly good except they didn’t take quite enough out of the back. do u think they couldn’t take any more out, or do u think i can have them take more out bc they were just being cautious and didn’t want to take out too much?

My guess is that you could have it tailored again. Going down sizes is always easier than going up, so they were likely being conservative the first time.

Don't think going from a 44r to a 42r would be a problem. Tailors have told me previously (after losing a lot of weight) that it gets to a point where the shape would be ruined.

To me, you can’t redo the shoulders and ever make it look good. Trousers can be recut, but jackets at least have to fit right in the shoulders from the outset. I’ve never seen those recut successfully.
