Italian Tailoring is not inherently slim or tight.

Granted, "Italian" tailoring isn't really anything at all, but that's a topic for another video. Some Italian styles are slimmer in some places, but there's a much longer discussion to be had about house style.

It also bears explaining: sizing is complicated, somewhat based on garment measurements, but mostly based on patternmaking and grading, and on consumer expectations for a given size tag. Some Italian brands have played into these misconceptions, especially over the course of the 2010s, either leaning into slimness or overcorrecting. These measurements don't necessarily represent what you'll find if you go down to a Canali store today, but do explain the source of the misconception.

The best and only way to find your size is to try multiple sizes on, check your vanity at the door, and pick the one that actually works. If nothing works well enough to tailor, try a different brand, or try something custom.

Again, the conversion formula is:

US size x 1.27 = IT size
