I didn't know about men's suits. Anyone see this week's "Modern Family"? Phil (my least favorite character) wore a suit that was way too small for him and I couldn't understand why. Now I find out he was just being fashionable!
Seriously, it's like the incredible shrinking food packages. The manufacturer makes it smaller, saves a penny here, a penny there, and it adds up. With the huge rise in fabric prices we shouldn't be surprised to find more than corners being cut.
