    >Suits are made to be able to be tailored to the wearer’s measurements. But modern clothes aren’t. For example, even though there are high, medium, and low rise pants, I can’t adjust their rise to my proportions.

    To me it seems like this is really the only point OP have, which seems to have more to do with how modern clothes are produced? (factory, based on some averaged out categories of body type)

    Other than that it seems like all the things he say are "better", you can find modern variants that do as well.

    And the women's cloth rant is weird. Isn't that... Same for (most common) women's suite too? Pockets being too small is enough of an issue that I know some women just buy men's jeans (smallest size) instead, if their proportions are not too different (hip) from average for men.

    Also, I didn't see any defense for neckties. What's good about that?

      Yeah sorry the womens clothes rant was a bit of venting off while speaking about clothing.

      Regarding neck ties this was my only comment:

      > Note: ties feel a bit useless but at least they hide my belly when movement slightly opens the shirt.
