Ok, quick question to the guys out there. I need a a new suit for a wedding, and not any suit a zoot suit. I know a good tailor and have had custom suits made before. My problem is that my current suit just doesn't fit right (due to weight loss and the chair) the main problem I am facing is the pant length.

When I am in my chair it looks really funny because it looks like I am wearing pants that are 5 inches too short in the inseam. I would have my tailor make them longer but I also stand and walk short amounts and really don't want to trip on them.

I was thinking a little piece of velcro to hold them up while I was standing and walking.

any idea's? :swordfight:

Cool. I hadn't seen those. You just helped me to help my wife with her scrubs... She's 4'10" and those would be much easier than taking the scrubs to be altered. Thanks for the help.

Dave, A Zoot Suit? For a wedding? NOW THAT'S STYLIN!!
