Just ranting. Have you any idea how expensive tailored clothes are and how often nicely fitted clothes must be switched out when even doing the most basic bulk and cut phase?

Like i bought a suit in the beginning of this year, which was already hard to find as I'm no longer in avarage/popular size. With sales i managed to scrape by with just spending ~300€(tailoring would have been 1000+€)and barely fitting as long as i don't do any sudden movements. It was good for just one event, few months later. The pants were already tight enough around quads that i could see my boxer line through it and pockets were unusable.
I was supposed to wear it again around Christmas time.

So basically anything in the store isn't really suitable anymore, unless i go oversized and tailoring is rather expensive for just a handful of times i can wear something well fitted.

Though you're completely right. There are many other aspects that matter much more as i did find my wife way before i started working out.

I have the same problem and just "borrowed" my mom's old sewing machine to tailor my own clothes. It's not as difficult as it sounds

Bonus points of "thanks I tailored them myself" being probably one of the best responses to someone complementing your clothes

That's kinda neat workaround. Knowing how to sew will always come in handy as well.
