horseshit.
anyone with half an eye can spot a suit that doesn't fit. Even a tailor wouldn't spot the difference between a classic coloured wool-rich blend for £100 and Italian wool for £500 unless they were close to it.

"nasty looking" and "cheap" aren't always the same thing, you know.

Again, you're talking as a terrible suit snob
most people do not wear suits all the time, most people do not see suits all the time and therefore most people cannot see if your off the peg suit has had the waist taken in slightly.

A casual observer wouldn't notice a waist tuck
however a poor fitting suit is pretty obvious, there is something about a skinny weasel faced chav in a high 3 buttoned baggy suit that upsets me greatly.

the jacket cut matters far more than the trousers to be fair.
most off the peg jackets are cut awfully for most people.

and I don't wear suits much. I'm a fucking academic, I wear jeans and tshirts. Doesn't mean I'm blind.
