Belt Loops Or Side Adjusters? | Made To Measure Suits
About this video
Sacawa explains the practical and stylistic differences between belt loops and side adjusters on trousers, arguing that side adjusters are better for formal wear while belt loops suit casual pants. He discusses the benefits of each option and recommends metal side adjusters over button adjusters for made-to-measure garments.
Key takeaways
- Sacawa argues that formal trousers and suits should have side adjusters rather than belt loops to maintain clean lines and formality
- Sacawa recommends belt loops for casual pants like chinos, jeans, and corduroys
- Sacawa prefers metal side adjusters over button side adjusters because they offer unlimited adjustment options and won’t wear out over time
