Have you tried to altering your clothes at home? Let me know in the comments!
This is a genuine question. What has happened to your channel? Why does it seem like you’re not getting the same amount of traffic as you used to? At one time your channel was on the same level as Alpha M and far ahead of Teaching Mens Fashion, but now it has fallen far behind.
Hey Antonio can you make a video on how to get rid of the shadow that you might get after shaving
My man, you go through all that trouble to make a t-shirt fit? Wow! I grew up in the 90s I don't relate. I prefer my clothes loose & comfortable. I'd rather see you spend your time on learning how the world works. Like The Great Reset for example. That's a project being proposed by an individual by the name of Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum. It's basically a plan to bring in a world government dictatorship. You might say, that's conspiracy theory. Well Klaus & his Great Reset was just featured in a recent issue of Time magazine. As a matter of fact, The Great Reset made the cover. Look it up. I'm not saying you shouldn't be concerned about your appearance, but that's a little much dude.
Can you do the same with a hand portable machine?
Thank you for making the video! Can you tell us about the sewing machine in the video? Where can we get it? How much or pretty much how much it cost?
Back when I was young, my peers would say sewing is a skill for girls but I always knew sewing is a life skill.
oppa gangnam no such thing as a man or girl skill, just skill. IMO
DjP idk, I mean being a stripper is generally a female skill, and being a soldier is generally a male skill, so there are some skills that only really suit one gender.
@@billysinge8977 there are female soldiers
@@lollipopman4408female soldier😂😂

RULE 1:. Practice on a shirt you don't love. Sewing takes practice.
I was going to say scrap fabric, but for someone who is new to sewing, that probably is the shirt they don't love.
@@denisewenke8323
And we are talking guys here. They tend to like to get right to it! Test shirt provides perfect test environment. I'd love to see how those first test shirts turn out. New channel idea.
Oops Sewing.
(I don't recall a seam ripper being featured in this video?)
Absolutely. Practice on the rags first. Every guy has ‘em, most anyway.
@@misserica4690 Or you can just do what I did and went to my local sower. Don`t know how it is in America but in my country we have a sower, shoe repair guy, key maker, butcher, etc
Or just buy a shirt that fits you. There's no reason to make your clothes skin tight, you weirdos. Now you have less masculinity, movement, and comfortability. Wake up.
"All you need is a sewing machine"
Welp, I'm out.
That's the easy part. Learning how to sew is the real challenge. If only I had watched my godmother more closely when I was growing up. She tried to teach me, but I figured it was too girly, and I didn't know enough to consider all the tailors.
You could also hand sew this with a needle-thread-thimble combo which is like ~$10-20
@@jonkoh9849 It will just take you 20 times longer, and the stitches will not be half as strong nor as even since every stitch will be different.
@@krane15 that’s true. It’s not nearly as efficient, but it can work if you really have no other way. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s weaker as the back stitch is really strong, although it might not look as consistent.

lol this actually really makes me wanna buy a machine and go to town on all my clothes :O
I did that (followed the guides of a small youtuber called "Stylish Dad") and I'm warning you, tailoring is addicting...
@@epiqboy same me too
I just got one :-)
do itttt
Our family had a older one.i am going to use that
This is is the most clear sewing instruction i ever seen!!
try the channel of StylishD
@@wdj5922 yes bro i watch stylish dad also..but this rmrs tutorial is more clear and direct in my opinion
It look a whole lot easier that it is. Sewing is a skill and an art, and it take a bit of time and practice to learn how to do it right. You need the right tools, and a steady hand.
Totally agree
Literally the only men's fashion channel that puts out informative, helpful, no bs videos consistently
You are awesome Aishik!
@@RealMenRealStyle So are you! (and your editor!)
Alpha m have left the chat
@@Hymer300 Alpha M and Teachingmenfashion just make the same videos over and over again around their ads.
Yep
Make sure you wash the t-shirt a few times first to account for any shrink before doing this.
That's old fashioned. I haven't has a garment shrink since high school, and that was because I left it in the drier on high for too long. Otherwise, none of my clothes have ever shrank.
@@krane15 wool does shrink. Some dress pants, and high end suits are still made from wool.
@@krane15 not to mention cashmere
@@palillo2006 Most t-shirts aren’t made of wool though.
@@MinToni90 i like turtles. 😐
I'm making a point to comment on all of your sewing videos: as a young man who tailors his own clothes (who's also a rugged, outdoorsy guy, through-and-through), I am always happy to see someone (especially a man's style YT channel) promote this activity. It gives you a large degree of independence, which I think is an essential part of being a man
You figured out how the 3 sea shells work yet?
Still watching even though we will never do this 😂
😂😂
*If you don't have fabric pencils you can also use bar soap* 👍
Tailor just use chalk piece
Great video. My grandmother used to work in a sewing factory and showed me exactly how to do what you show in the video. It works great.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, the only change I would make is the stitch choice. The small zigzag stitch is for stretch, jersey knit fabric. If you do a straight stitch it will pull and pop. Great video.
Thanks! I have found that to be true.
Who from India ❤❤❤
I’d never considered buying a sewing machine before. But after watching this I’m going on to Amazon to get me one of those bad boys
Don't forget to buy yourself a nice dress and some lipstick too.

Even though I'm female, I loooove these videos :) keep up the great work!
This is great. Thanks Taylor.
Same! I'm a lady, but I also love learning about men's fashion.
Thankfully, I have brothers...so me watching these can also be an asset to them~ 😆
Thumbail:
How to tailor a shirt? - Get built
If you get built, you waist will be slim and your chest will be big so you will have a lot of excess fabric in the waist that you need to get rid of thru tailoring
Men, a crisp fitting shirt, nice shoes, and a clean smile can lead to a lot of “fun times”.

uhuh
That's assuming they have that gym body to make it work. Otherwise, it could end up quite frightening.
@@krane15 .... ... Hey! Thanks for your reply. I will never downplay the importance of someone going to the gym to improve their lifestyle, health, and mating value.
If one is in shape, then nearly *any* outfit will look good assuming it is clean, smells good, and is ironed.
Ripped is the new buff.

Ya I don't feel comfortable unless I got a shirt that fits right. Don't want it tight but hate super baggy also.

Hands down one of the best men's fashion videos on TH-cam
You rock Kevouy 😆
Thank you, that's really useful. My Dad learned to use a treddle sewing machine when he attended an "army school" in Scotland (starting at age 9), went on to be a band boy in Tidworth and joined the Royal Scots Greys as a Farrier (Blacksmith) and went on to become a Tank Instructor when they were mechanised whilst in the Middle East during WWII when they became the 14th/20th Hussars. Being able to sew/repair clothes or other items has never really been just for women, as you can see from my Dads Story.
Very cool story!
It's "treadle" by the way.
These types of tailoring videos are priceless. Thank you so much for putting this information out there Antonio and keep them coming!
Most people would rather spend money to have someone else do it, than spend time actually learning the skill and applying it. Good luck to you.
I'd rather use a triple straight stitch or a narrow zigzag on stretchy materials.
If you don't have a walking foot, you can lower the presser foot pressure if your machine allows it.
Me, who have a 1800's sewing machine: "looks easy"
I hate when a tshirt is fit on me like that...
I like loose,long tshirts.
Me too. I hate fitted shirts and short sleeves.
@@No1MusicSnob you must have muscles first and u will like it
@@_________5015 nah, even then I still hate it
You do you my friend, just know there is always an option
5:17 What a difference !! The fixed t-shirt looks brand new.
Indeed, fit is truly everything

Yeah and ist Looks way to tight
@@ytsuchtixd5943 Yup !! 😁
I’m an older woman and I don’t sew and your videos are great they get straight to the point and I understand each one. Now I can fix my t shirts myself. Thanks
Sewing terrifies me as every attempt I've made at it has created something that could be used in a torture dungeon. This video made it seem as if it is possible for humans like me. Lol.
Damn I wanna tailor every piece of clothing I have now. Once you go tailored, anything less feels uncomfortable.
TRY IT ON BEFORE YOU CUT ANYTHING!
Remember, stitches can come out, but scissors are forever.
I can't believe he didn't mention this.
Very true
yeah finding right size tshirt is really pain in a$$, thanks for this video, nobody talks about this problem
Oh! God! Deliciosa boy! I want one! 🤔🙋❤️😍😊
Imagin, ur life is so boring that u watch this video, but u like everything baggy and oversized.
Thumbnail shows apparent shoulder adjustment.
15 seconds in: "Can't do that."
Me: but that's what I need!!! WTF?
The easiest way is to buy your shirts to fit in the shoulder and neck and be at least big enough everywhere else, then you just adjust all the other areas. If shirts that fit in the shoulder are always too small elsewhere then it's more difficult, either look for specialty sizes, buy/make custom shirts, or for something like tee shirts try ladies plus size, since sometimes they are narrow in the shoulder but generous through the waist.
I feel kinda deceived by the thumbnail, too
The left one looks better, just came here to say that
All I’m gonna say is facts 🔥🔥

Wow, if I could only take the time to actually learn this and follow through. This would of helped 20 years ago through today.

@King Dong haha no dude...
"All you need is a sewing machine and a....."
--Wht?! i am out
for small or ecto guys
on aliexpress the chinese have almost your size tshirt and trousers
Since i started to buy them trousers i never returned to regular shops.
Preparing a seeing machine, setting up the thread, seems too complicated.
Before ever seeing this video I've been doing this exact method of 'tailoring' on not just tee shirts but button down shirts and even heavy coats and jackets, with great results I might add.
This is a great video and I can vouch for the results it claims you can get.
Such a helpful video! My shirts never come exactly in the right size, as I'm a pretty tall dude! Nice knowing how I can tailor the exactly to fit!
I'm a female and I'm seeing this because
1-- TH-cam recommended me 😀😀
2- I'm excited to do this for my brother , father and future husband 😂😂😂😂😂😂
*The problem for tight T-shirt is it can create friction in Axilla causing them to Darken Underarms and sweating becomes more obvious specially if a tight Tees is color Light Gray.*
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Ah yes ! I have been making alterations to my clothes for ages . I just tailor my clothes as I see fit in order to achieve what I consider to be the perfect fit for me . I used to have a sewing machine but when it broke I decided to do all the stitching by hand. Yes it is a lengthy procedure and you will need lots of patience and time and some strong thread and needles but the end result is ALWAYS worth it .
@King Dong It is every bit as good as a sewing machine :) .
You lost me at "sewing machine"
Lol
using a sewing machine isn't as hard as it seems :)
This seems like a lot of work, lol.
seems to overlap with the channel of StylishD, doesn't it?
Wow, this is so much easier than the ones I watched where the girls are cutting it all up into pieces and then re-stitching it. Thank you so much
Ain't got time for all that sewing bullshit! I throw most of my shirts away after a couple of washes! I'm to damn old to keep up with silly fashion statements 💯
"you'll need a sawing machine"
Me: am out
As a short fat guy I need to learn this. But since I know nothing about sewing, this was like watching a tutorial for a video game that I don't play.
This is great, thank you! Clear and simply explained for people inexperienced with sewing. I have always had an issue with shirts fitting my chest and being extremely baggy at the abdomen. Now I can fix the issue myself.
Thanks ill prefer to ask my mom to fix my tshirts lol
I've been doing high end prototype sewing for 25 years but never thought about tailoring a T-shirt. But why not do it? A cheap clothing item that fits well will look way better than a very expensive one that fits poorly.
I think I pretty much have to do this because I have been between two Tshirt sizes my entire life so I always look like a dope no matter what size I pick. Cant afford to have each shirt fixed at the shop so I might as well do it myself
I’m a woman but find this site super helpful! Thanks for being to-the-point!!
So a word of caution. Straight stitches on stretch fabrics aren’t really a good idea as if the fabric is pulled or stretches the stitches tend to break. Best recommendation use a serger/overlock sewing machine made for this specific type of alteration and fabric. Or trim the fabric leaving 1/4” seam allowance, pin and finish the edge with a zig zag stitch only. Zig zag stitches stretch with cotton knit material.
I agree the straight stitch made me die a little, but a serger is overkill for anyone who only does a few simple alterations.
All of the modern computerized machines have a stretch stitch (lingerie stitch/lightning bolt) and even the mechanical machines should be able to do a narrow zigzag.
You can even get good results with a straight stitch if you set a longer stitch length and stretchhhhh your fabric as you sew, once you iron it it looks like a normal length stitch but it has enough ease in the thread that it won't pop.
@@kray3883 this works well too 😁😁.
Thank goodness I have a coverstitch machine!
I just love this kind of videos. Getting married next year, and I'll have my own sewing machine. This video is already in my list :)
You're giving me solutions to problems I didn't know existed
I recently got a weight loss transformation in this lockdown. Time to get them tailored. Thanks for the tips though. Love from india.
Congratulations! Keep it up.
Fantastic video, keep up the great work
Antonio thank you so much for this! I’ve always wanted to learn this
You can do it!

It's mainly for skinny People 😂😂
Like me😂
I'm a girl but I find your video much more informative than those made by girl youtubers. They always tend to have obnoxious music playing in the background and it's so annoying because it plays much louder than they talk. Thank you for the video!! Hopefully I get to fix this shirt that's a bit wonky
Thank you so much for sharing this! My husband has broad shoulders and big arms, he always has to size up and then the shirts just hang off him. I can finally hem them for him, well both be appreciative.
In reality, we dont need a sewing machine. What we need is to marry the guy so he can do it for us :)
thanks for this video! Very helpful. I often have trouble finding shirts fitting my very large, v-shaped, muscular body in regular shirts. No more!
"Need to turn your medium tshirt into a small?!"
So many people got screwed on the video lol.
Doesn't explain which needle
Which stitching
Width of the stitch
etc
etc
It's funny how my tee collection mostly look like the left in the thumbnail. But that because its the tropics here, and the baggy tees help with the ventilation lmao.
Still saving this video for future tailoring needs.
It really sucks for me...I'm 16 and 5'7, my weight is 58 KG.... No flex, but I have wider shoulders and chest so I got some T-shirts which fit perfectly on my entire body except my arms. My arms aren't even small.. The sleeves are too big. I told my parents about that then they said that "Everyone wears T-Shirts like this" me like wtf? I don't know what is wrong with them but when I wear those T-shirts I look skinny.
My mom makes her dresses by a Tailor but doesn't really care about me... I just want to look good. that feels super sad, and I don't know how to sew or don't have the equipment for that, :(
Don't give up. If you can't get a sewing machine, this can also be done by hand, though it takes a little longer. The rest of the process is the same in terms of marking and measuring. And hand sewing needles and such are far less expensive. Look up hand sewing tutorials here on TH-cam. Good luck!
This video made me appreciate the work and craft of tailors even more.

Cool. I spent 50 quid getting 5 t shirts taken up. Could have used that money on a sewing machine and watched this video and been better off. Now going on amazon to look at sewing machines. Cheers!
Here’s a sewing tip for you all never use a straight stitch when sewing on stretchy fabrics. Once the shirt stretches the stitches will pop always use a stretch stitch which is a narrow zigzag or use the lightening bolt stitch perfect for all stretchy material won’t pop when stretched
Oh no but my t shirts have cuts on the waist line
How to deal with that????😂😂
Hello, what sewing machine are you using on the video???
All you need is a sewing machine
Me: okay I will replace that with a needle, go on
Same 😂.. but as the video progresses i thought go to tailor and show this video to him..
My all tshirt have good fitting on chest but my waist is loose
*Lol buddy* 🤣🤣
*Unfit shirts are today's trend* 😜

Thanks for the tip. The "Walking Feet" attachment is really needed. I tried to do this in the past with a normal attachment and it came out looking like a scrunchie.
As a son of a seamstress, we were taught how to do our dress so we won't bother mom if we need adjustments on our garments
That looks fairly easy. What about adjusting the collar on a golf shirt? Is that difficult?
Even if you don't buy a sewing machine, the video helps you orientate your tailor so that he always does a perfect job.
Just cause you watched a TH-cam video, doesn’t mean you’re qualified to supervise a tailor, lol.
Or you could just workout or by the right size shirt
Thank you, sir for your kindness 🙏 (i mean it).
Time to bring some new life to my old t-shirts
my tailor charges me 7 dollars no taxes for this. definitely would rather burn 7 dollars than do all this.
Good tips on buying clothes! I'm a girl, but this goes for any gender and making sure it fits well in the neck area and in the shoulders and fix everything else because it way easier it's such a good tip!
Would it be crazy if I tried to hand sew this as my sewing machine is broken?
This is so helpful especially if you have tons of oversized t-shirt after loosing tons of weight. Thank you.
This requires a lot of time, patience, measuring and organization so it's not for me. I really would wish that more young men with learning things like this. Unfortunately, our school system just focuses on memorizing for exams
Nice for a 4-5$ t shirt
First I have to buy a 500-1000$ sewing machine
Nice bro Thanks 😊😊
Protips for men: Girls would drop their clothes for you easily if you can sew.
Suggestion: we can use stapler for more convineance
I love that youre teaching men to sew and removing the dumb stigma that its a girl thing. Sewing is such a handy skill that everyone will benefit from
Great video Antonio,Do dress shirts next i had most of my dress shirts tailored and then i lost about 20 pounds and i would hate to pay to do it again
