Too Much Tailoring? Are YOU a FUSSY Guy for seeking perfection?
About this video
Centeno addresses whether seeking perfect tailoring fit is excessive, using a tailor anecdote to illustrate that obsessing over minor adjustments can be counterproductive. He argues that while fit is important, pursuing 95% perfection yields diminishing returns, and resources might be better invested in upgrading other wardrobe elements.
Key takeaways
- Centeno contends that perfect fit doesn’t exist because bodies change and preferences evolve over time
- Centeno advocates for the ’law of diminishing returns’—pursuing minor fit improvements beyond 85-90% requires disproportionate effort compared to upgrading other wardrobe areas
- Centeno advises treating tailors well by compensating them fairly and not overburdening them with excessive requests, while noting that if you’re willing to pay, requesting what you want is acceptable
