A brilliant video. Very clear and brief, shows how this adjustment it’s not as daunting as it may seem. Wish TH-cam had more instructional videos of this quality.
Why is everyone hating lmao I'm a girl who embroiders and is def gonna use this to make all my shirts fit?? I don't hv money for dinner sometimes let alone a tailor lmao, why do people forget not everyone's wealthy?? Or well off lol
As someone who makes custom tailored clothing this is garbage. Waste of time for everyone involved. Far from “real men real style.” If a tailored t shirt is that desirable Someone could drive to wal mart and buy a shitty $150 serger and alter every t shirt they own in the time it takes to hand stitch 1.
@sule_lol8960 I went to a place that was going to charge me $65 to do exactly what he did in this video to one of my daughters uniform shirts...she has 6 uniform shirts...😒...so for ME, this video is great. Wish I lived where you are and could have it done for $10 bcuz alterations have become so expensive.
Proper? That is subjective. The shirt actually looks better with the classic regular fit. Tailored/fitted just has an awkward, unnatural appearance and is also quite uncomfortable.
As usual very helpful. Maybe you can do a video on the different types of stitches and when to use them as an idea for the next video. I think every man should be able to do basic sewing as a skill.
I love that idea. I have been wondering that as well. Also what stitches to use with each fabric since each fabric has different properties and thus should be sewn different for the best hold.
It's not size, it's fit. You can have correct size but mass marked product will very rarely fir you as well as tailored to your body type. I've lost 10 kilos of body fat. My waist got smaller, my shoulder width remained the same, my chest remained the same, my body length remained the same - so my size remained the same, it's still L - but fit changed dramatically.
A lot of commenters have given up before they even tried doing this themselves. Sad to see how defeatist some gents are; sadder still that the lazy consumerist alternative merely feeds more into sweatshop factories and association environmental depletion. Man up, guys! Give it a go. Blast away those stifling perfectionist doubts with actually CREATING something with your own two hands! You're more than what you give yourself credit for.
@@asura8495 I actually tried this. It took me two hours and most of that time was figuring out the fit. Trip to my local tailor and back is one hour, and that's not considering that price for this work is 2 times more than the price of a t-shirt itself)
Wow this was awesome and so simple!!!!!!!!! I dont want to buy a sewing machine and had no idea it could be this straightforward. I feel inspired to try it. /g
I have this problem being short and musclar. The arm sleeves are always longer than where they should be. But he stomach part is too big. The struggle.
@@RealMenRealStyle No. I always wanted to learn to tailor. Before athletic jeans, I was struggling but ever since then, I don't have to worry about my jeans going under my feet. The smallest sign I can get is a 28-30 or 30-30
a few years ago they stopped making athletic fit shirts for men. Not good for guys who lift. I like knowing how to fix my own stuff so this video is great.
If you already have a "perfect fitting t-shirt" to use as a template, just go buy more of that shirt or brand. Or better yet, use the size charts and measurements that most retailers use on their websites instead of having to self-tailor your clothes
Unfortunately not reliable. I’ve bought many shirts, jackets, and coats from the same brand and they’ve fitted differently. And size guides are helpful assuming you have a very average body size/shape.
... ha ha ! If you already have a 'perfect fitting t-shirt' .... brilliant ! So simple, you just need to already have a 'perfectly fitting t-shirt'. Don't worry if you can't get one, just send your body in for re-shaping to the standard sizes of each brand that you like, they can fit you with some kind of adjustable mesh insert with stops for each different brand so you can just re-morph yourself for the occasion. Inspirational :)
@@stevemorbey Sounds like the brands your buying from have terrible quality control. Try a little more expensive brands. The time it saves you is priceless
@@seansimmons73 In all honesty, for the most part you are right about the higher end brands. However many of the mid/high end brands I like are good quality, but have slightly different fits for different body types. I train in the gym, so my proportions are a bit awkward. So i frequently end up with excess bagginess around the stomach area whilst shoulders and chest fit perfectly. e.g. I travelled to a good quality leather maker recently for a jacket, they have a substantial range of the Cafe Racer type I was looking for, but accommodated for several different body shapes for each chest size. So found my self looking for a very specific fit. This is common practice for me for several high end brands I like. For the last few years, I’ve taken every suit and shirt I’ve bought to a tailor for alterations, as I like a perfect fit. Nice to see videos like this that show how people could DIY it easily if they wanted to though.
Hopefully you wash and dry the shirt for shrinkage before all this work. A lot of sewing for no sewing. Take your clothes to a tailor for better results.
If you find a pattern or fabric you like that is way too big but fits in the shoulders and neck you can trim it down to size and use the excess to make it a pocket t.
Since the iron is probably going to be used for other tasks and on heavier fabrics, an iron should put out a decent amount of steam. The iron you are showing has approximately 7 or 8 holes for doing this - that's a joke! How about you skip the $40 belt and buy a decent iron instead (maybe 70 holes). I realize my Rowenta iron has around 400 holes and costs a bit, but it can make seams in heavier weight fabric, like denim. Besides, isn't the whole point of this channel making oneself look professional, not just DIY?
Good idea. But I'd still opt to using the machine. If you don't have one, if you have a good relationship with your mother or mother inlaw you can probably borrow hers. If you are smart you mark out all your shirts and do it all at once. Though a more likely outcome if you try to borrow her sewing machine is she'll probably insist on doing it for you no matter how old you are. Men who aren't mammas boys are men with inferiority complexes.
Personally as a younger guy I love to have baggy or oversized T-shirts for relaxing in and for fashion. The one on the right just reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg, but this would definitely be good if I need to be more formal I think.
Because some of us have weird body shapes. I have never found clothes that fit properly (wide shoulders, small waist, long torso, short arms and legs). Luckily my mom is a tailor and would fix my clothes until I was old enough for her to teach me. I get so many compliments on the fit that people ask me to tailor their clothes. Nice little side hustle.
What a faff, who does this? I hate tight clothes. Fitted, slim fits fine, but I prefer the next size up for a looser oversized fit and then I just turn the sleeves back/roll them up, to how I choose. 90s, loose fit clothing is in and for me, never went out.
So wait a second you're saying the fit of a t-shirt matters why does it matter a t-shirt fits you good like who's going to see you in that not everyone wears a t-shirt some people wear underneath their dress shirts so why would anyone really want to have the T-shirt fit them really good like what's the point of your T-shirt fitting you really good frankly I have to wear my clothes in the more back here more loose or fit because I really don't care if my physique is naturally shown like why do men like you obsess over the whole Fitbit like it's not that big of a deal like dude look at the fit it matters the fear your clothes do matter but the way you you obsess over the idea of fit fit fit fit fit fit like you make it look sound like you're sure done fit you good enough is the end of the world for you like come on don't get so bit upset like I mean like why would you do that why why would you honestly care look you might care but there are people don't generally care if the darn shirt fits some bye

it’s probably a lot easier considering the fact that they have sewing machines
Only 120$ a shirt
@@logic6001 more like $10. Where are they charging you $120 to do that?

Great!
That is way too much work
This video just increased my chances of paying a tailor or buying a properly fitted shirt
Wait until your boy Klaus Schwab and his young world leader cronies force inflation to insane levels.You'll be begging for videos like these.
100% lol
Proper? That is subjective. The shirt actually looks better with the classic regular fit. Tailored/fitted just has an awkward, unnatural appearance and is also quite uncomfortable.
This will cost me more in terms of time then to buy a new tshirt with a good fit..
if its a specific tshirt that you cant buy easily/cheaper then this would be a good method
t a i l o r
...this would take me years to complete.
:)
Don’t forget to wash your shirt first to allow shrinkage before tapering it. Or if you hang dry and iron after you should be fine.
Not to be a hater but that's alot of work for a T-shirt.
Just buy more of that perfect t-shirt used as the template 🤷♂️

Who the fuck does it? Would rather buy a new one.
Not everyone can afford to spend more money but of course this is time consuming....
Next step - throw it out and go buy the right size :)
@@jareknowak8712 it’s not a size issue

You should also know your measurements and check the company’s sizing guide before you purchase. 🧠

Man up, guys! Give it a go. Blast away those stifling perfectionist doubts with actually CREATING something with your own two hands! You're more than what you give yourself credit for.
I think it's the assumed time required to do it. rather just give it to someone who has a machine
Inspirational message, thank you !

But how do you take in the shoulder seams if they sit on your upper arm rather than on the edge of your shoulder?
All I’m saying is, the fit of the shirt on the left side in the thumbnail looks better than the shirt on the right
This largely depends on how overweight you are
@@BusinessHugs nah it's depends more on a person style, not weight
I completely agree. To be honest, tailored looks awfully gay.
@@BusinessHugsIt's about personal preference. I absolutely do not like tight clothes at all.
Wow this was awesome and so simple!!!!!!!!! I dont want to buy a sewing machine and had no idea it could be this straightforward. I feel inspired to try it. /g
who tf is doing this?
No sewing machine needs * Started sewing with a needle* what a tool 😅
You guys should do a breakdown of all the common knots and stitching patterns.
Sure it’s time consuming but you’ll have a new skill that not a lot of people have
As someone who wants to get into making clothes but is scared to make something from scratch, this is so useful and helpful. Baby steps 🤙🤙

Use a perfect-fitting t-shirt as a template? Why not just wear the perfect-fitting t-shirt?

You forgot the sleeves
Cool, gonna try to recreate this with staple and duct tapes instead.
Aint doin allat
Nobody got time for this.... Just buy a new shirt and call it a win ✌️
Looked a 1000 times better before. Still not loose enough and sleeves are too short but still hetter than the finished version
Hopefully you wash and dry the shirt for shrinkage before all this work. A lot of sewing for no sewing. Take your clothes to a tailor for better results.
A shirt fits best when you don't feel it
Very nice but I think I would just go and buy another tee shirt 😊

REAL GOOD instructions! from a NY trained seamstress 😁

T-shirts are pretty inexpensive, I just buy them to already fit nicely.

How to fit in style in school uniform
If I do this, and I need to (work shirts) I have a feeling I'll stop after putting safety pins. That should work for a "test shirt"
That double stitch won’t stretch with the Tshirt fabric and - shouldn’t it be zig-zag?
Man I thought is was going to be … fold pinch tuck DONE , not all that Just buy a better fitting shirt lol
Funny because the shirt looked better originally relaxed. To be frank, fitted looks and feels quite awkward.
Real mening of infelenser
Holy shit this is the very reason WHY one would go to the Taylor, way to much work
What i never liked about tailoring, you get it fit to measure and then you wash it and it just got tighter and now’s too small
Damn.. I thought this would show how to make a t shirt short.. without sewing *at all * 😖
شكرن❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What?
What?
Why not just buy the right size and brand from the start?

Well... I like how the shirt fits originally
how much time is that for a simplr shirt?

Or you can just buy a fitting one!😠
Why would anybody bother "tailoring" a t-shirt? If you're wearing one, you obviously don't care about your appearance...

WAY TO MUCH WORK. NOPE!
How do you know where/when to start curving to the armpit?
Personally as a younger guy I love to have baggy or oversized T-shirts for relaxing in and for fashion. The one on the right just reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg, but this would definitely be good if I need to be more formal I think.
Mark Zuckerberg's t-shirts cost 300$ a piece. Pretty nice how much value you can add with a needle, thread and an hour of your time...
its not worth, too time comsuning
Maybe do a video on buying a proper fitting tshirt first. Why buy it, if it doesn't fit ?
Because some of us have weird body shapes. I have never found clothes that fit properly (wide shoulders, small waist, long torso, short arms and legs).

get a sewing machine Bro
Wow thanks! Appreciate it!
Welcome!
Easier to buy one that fits.
Just become a tailor
Seriously, who the fuck sews their own clothes? No one is going to do this unless you already have an idea of how to sew.
Buy a new shirt
