Have you tried to altering your clothes at home? Let me know in the comments!
This is a genuine question. What has happened to your channel? Why does it seem like you’re not getting the same amount of traffic as you used to? At one time your channel was on the same level as Alpha M and far ahead of Teaching Mens Fashion, but now it has fallen far behind.
Hey Antonio can you make a video on how to get rid of the shadow that you might get after shaving
My man, you go through all that trouble to make a t-shirt fit? Wow! I grew up in the 90s I don't relate. I prefer my clothes loose & comfortable. I'd rather see you spend your time on learning how the world works. Like The Great Reset for example. That's a project being proposed by an individual by the name of Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum. It's basically a plan to bring in a world government dictatorship. You might say, that's conspiracy theory. Well Klaus & his Great Reset was just featured in a recent issue of Time magazine. As a matter of fact, The Great Reset made the cover. Look it up. I'm not saying you shouldn't be concerned about your appearance, but that's a little much dude.
Can you do the same with a hand portable machine?
Thank you for making the video! Can you tell us about the sewing machine in the video? Where can we get it? How much or pretty much how much it cost?
Back when I was young, my peers would say sewing is a skill for girls but I always knew sewing is a life skill.
oppa gangnam no such thing as a man or girl skill, just skill. IMO
DjP idk, I mean being a stripper is generally a female skill, and being a soldier is generally a male skill, so there are some skills that only really suit one gender.
@@billysinge8977 there are female soldiers
@@lollipopman4408female soldier😂😂

RULE 1:. Practice on a shirt you don't love. Sewing takes practice.
I was going to say scrap fabric, but for someone who is new to sewing, that probably is the shirt they don't love.
@@denisewenke8323
And we are talking guys here. They tend to like to get right to it! Test shirt provides perfect test environment. I'd love to see how those first test shirts turn out. New channel idea.
Oops Sewing.
(I don't recall a seam ripper being featured in this video?)
Absolutely. Practice on the rags first. Every guy has ‘em, most anyway.
@@misserica4690 Or you can just do what I did and went to my local sower. Don`t know how it is in America but in my country we have a sower, shoe repair guy, key maker, butcher, etc
Or just buy a shirt that fits you. There's no reason to make your clothes skin tight, you weirdos. Now you have less masculinity, movement, and comfortability. Wake up.
I'm making a point to comment on all of your sewing videos: as a young man who tailors his own clothes (who's also a rugged, outdoorsy guy, through-and-through), I am always happy to see someone (especially a man's style YT channel) promote this activity. It gives you a large degree of independence, which I think is an essential part of being a man
You figured out how the 3 sea shells work yet?
This is is the most clear sewing instruction i ever seen!!
try the channel of StylishD
@@wdj5922 yes bro i watch stylish dad also..but this rmrs tutorial is more clear and direct in my opinion
It look a whole lot easier that it is. Sewing is a skill and an art, and it take a bit of time and practice to learn how to do it right. You need the right tools, and a steady hand.
Totally agree
lol this actually really makes me wanna buy a machine and go to town on all my clothes :O
I did that (followed the guides of a small youtuber called "Stylish Dad") and I'm warning you, tailoring is addicting...
@@epiqboy same me too
I just got one :-)
do itttt
Our family had a older one.i am going to use that
"All you need is a sewing machine"
Welp, I'm out.
That's the easy part. Learning how to sew is the real challenge. If only I had watched my godmother more closely when I was growing up. She tried to teach me, but I figured it was too girly, and I didn't know enough to consider all the tailors.
You could also hand sew this with a needle-thread-thimble combo which is like ~$10-20
@@jonkoh9849 It will just take you 20 times longer, and the stitches will not be half as strong nor as even since every stitch will be different.
@@krane15 that’s true. It’s not nearly as efficient, but it can work if you really have no other way. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s weaker as the back stitch is really strong, although it might not look as consistent.

Great video. My grandmother used to work in a sewing factory and showed me exactly how to do what you show in the video. It works great.
I’m an older woman and I don’t sew and your videos are great they get straight to the point and I understand each one. Now I can fix my t shirts myself. Thanks
Not sure if it's been mentioned, the only change I would make is the stitch choice. The small zigzag stitch is for stretch, jersey knit fabric. If you do a straight stitch it will pull and pop. Great video.
Thanks! I have found that to be true.
Hands down one of the best men's fashion videos on UA-cam
You rock Kevouy 😆
Before ever seeing this video I've been doing this exact method of 'tailoring' on not just tee shirts but button down shirts and even heavy coats and jackets, with great results I might add.
This is a great video and I can vouch for the results it claims you can get.
Make sure you wash the t-shirt a few times first to account for any shrink before doing this.
That's old fashioned. I haven't has a garment shrink since high school, and that was because I left it in the drier on high for too long. Otherwise, none of my clothes have ever shrank.
@@krane15 wool does shrink. Some dress pants, and high end suits are still made from wool.
@@krane15 not to mention cashmere
@@palillo2006 Most t-shirts aren’t made of wool though.
@@MinToni90 i like turtles. 😐
These types of tailoring videos are priceless. Thank you so much for putting this information out there Antonio and keep them coming!
Most people would rather spend money to have someone else do it, than spend time actually learning the skill and applying it. Good luck to you.
I'd rather use a triple straight stitch or a narrow zigzag on stretchy materials.
If you don't have a walking foot, you can lower the presser foot pressure if your machine allows it.
Wow, this is so much easier than the ones I watched where the girls are cutting it all up into pieces and then re-stitching it. Thank you so much
Literally the only men's fashion channel that puts out informative, helpful, no bs videos consistently
You are awesome Aishik!
@@RealMenRealStyle So are you! (and your editor!)
Alpha m have left the chat
@@Hymer300 Alpha M and Teachingmenfashion just make the same videos over and over again around their ads.
Yep
This is so helpful. I'm a 6'3 woman so all of the shirts that fit my torso length look like burlap sacks on me. Now I can make them look and feel much better to wear. Sewing is a life skill and youre worth the time it takes to learn a new skill.
Men, a crisp fitting shirt, nice shoes, and a clean smile can lead to a lot of “fun times”.

uhuh
That's assuming they have that gym body to make it work. Otherwise, it could end up quite frightening.
@@krane15 .... ... Hey! Thanks for your reply. I will never downplay the importance of someone going to the gym to improve their lifestyle, health, and mating value.
If one is in shape, then nearly *any* outfit will look good assuming it is clean, smells good, and is ironed.
Ripped is the new buff.

Ya I don't feel comfortable unless I got a shirt that fits right. Don't want it tight but hate super baggy also.
@@8bitsamurai6 .... That’s it exactly!

Thank you so much for sharing this! My husband has broad shoulders and big arms, he always has to size up and then the shirts just hang off him. I can finally hem them for him, well both be appreciative.
I’m a woman but find this site super helpful! Thanks for being to-the-point!!
This teaching is by far one of the best in-depth tutorials I've ever seen.
I’d never considered buying a sewing machine before. But after watching this I’m going on to Amazon to get me one of those bad boys
Don't forget to buy yourself a nice dress and some lipstick too.

How to tailor a shirt? - Get built
If you get built, you waist will be slim and your chest will be big so you will have a lot of excess fabric in the waist that you need to get rid of thru tailoring
the quality of this channel is unreal. simple, very informative, and to the point. no bs.
yeah finding right size tshirt is really pain in a$$, thanks for this video, nobody talks about this problem
Thank you for the video . Lost art . Kids need to learn this. I'm glad I did IN school. . . Love the way you break it down . Simple and easy.
Such a helpful video! My shirts never come exactly in the right size, as I'm a pretty tall dude! Nice knowing how I can tailor the exactly to fit!
This is the first time I've watched a video of real men real style and I absolutely love it👍
Me, who have a 1800's sewing machine: "looks easy"
You're giving me solutions to problems I didn't know existed
this is one of the best sewing tutorials I've seen, wow👍🏻👍🏻 now if I could only convince boyfriend to learn/care about fit!🤣
Wow, if I could only take the time to actually learn this and follow through. This would of helped 20 years ago through today.

@King Dong I'm sorry bro i didnt get you? What you are saying?
@King Dong haha no dude...
Thanks for the tip. The "Walking Feet" attachment is really needed. I tried to do this in the past with a normal attachment and it came out looking like a scrunchie.
This video made me appreciate the work and craft of tailors even more.
thanks for this video! Very helpful. I often have trouble finding shirts fitting my very large, v-shaped, muscular body in regular shirts. No more!
I think I pretty much have to do this because I have been between two Tshirt sizes my entire life so I always look like a dope no matter what size I pick. Cant afford to have each shirt fixed at the shop so I might as well do it myself
Who from India ❤❤❤
Fantastic video, keep up the great work
This is so helpful especially if you have tons of oversized t-shirt after loosing tons of weight. Thank you.
Now I want to fix our old sewing machine. Thanks for this video sir.
I was lurking on the internet for this tutorial as I have quite some shirts to alter. Thanks for this. These types of valuable contents really let us DIY.
Damn I wanna tailor every piece of clothing I have now. Once you go tailored, anything less feels uncomfortable.
I didn't have a sewing machine and so I was forced to do hand sewing... I ended up learning a new skill‼️My t-shirt looks amazing now!! I'm proud of myself ‼️‼️
I'm a female and I'm seeing this because
1-- UA-cam recommended me 😀😀
2- I'm excited to do this for my brother , father and future husband 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good tips on buying clothes! I'm a girl, but this goes for any gender and making sure it fits well in the neck area and in the shoulders and fix everything else because it way easier it's such a good tip!
Didn't need a sewing machine, I did it with just a needle and a thread. Great vid btw, made my shirt look better in my shape.
I hate when a tshirt is fit on me like that...
I like loose,long tshirts.
Me too. I hate fitted shirts and short sleeves.
@@No1MusicSnob you must have muscles first and u will like it
@@_________5015 nah, even then I still hate it
You do you my friend, just know there is always an option
Short, sweet, to the point. Perfect instructional video!
The left one looks better, just came here to say that
All I’m gonna say is facts 🔥🔥

This is helpful for me, a 70+ woman that has lost weight and I need to adjust some of my clothes. I will add, if you are working with knits to use a ball point needle.
We need a RMRS sewing tips series!
I use to tailer my little sister's cloths and make her pants and shirts. when we were going to school. Before that our mother would do it for us. But, her and my father would be working. My dad always said that clothes look good when they fit rite. I still tailer my clothes. When I buy them.Especially when I hem pants I think it looks good. With Boots, Definitely makes you look sharp. I aways use Singer it's nice to me. 👍🏼💯
You channel has solutions of problems every men has
the before and after is incredible
Truly a useful skill to have. Boulder shoulders, big chest and thicc lats mean lots of t shirts fit poorly. A few nips and tucks on a t shirt make a massive difference in the way you look to others.
I buy cheap t shirts in quantity and adjust. They last about a year and a half if I rotate well and wash about every 2 weeks (worn once, usually half a day).
Would cost the same to buy 3 or 4 name brand t shirts, which would last maybe less time as they would be worn more time and require a more frequent laundry cycle.
I must say...your instructions are very clear and it's great that you explain every step taken
Thanks so much for sharing..👍👏👏💝🌻
OMG i found a channel dedicated to men's fashion. Thank you.
I finally found mine from hurley and bought ever color I could find at tjmax. I'm tall and thin and hate when the sleeves are huge. Also found that blended shirts do so much better than 100 cottons of the old days. Even tho cotton has gotten better.
In reality, we dont need a sewing machine. What we need is to marry the guy so he can do it for us :)
Man I usually watch for clothing advice, but this… this is the Look right School man… thank you… 🤜🤛
I really like what you are doing and I will be honest whit you! Much better to buy the right size then do all this stitching. I tried already whit jeans a couple of time, is not that easy how it looks like. I love to stitch but it takes time to make it a professional way. Thank you very much !
"All you need is a sewing machine and a....."
--Wht?! i am out
Mad props to you for teaching men how to sew and making it look manly!
That looks fairly easy. What about adjusting the collar on a golf shirt? Is that difficult?
This seems like a lot of work, lol.
Put the shirt on INSIDE Out and put the safety pins on. Easier. Great video with good directions !
Wow, I am very impressed! I have taken clothing items to the tailor, but never a t-shirt. I don't know if I will do this and not sure if I can do it...I just try to get it right when I buy.
You should!
I just bought a hundred dollars worth of Uniqlo t-shirts that fit me very akward, this is very helpful, thank you!
Happy to help!
"Need to turn your medium tshirt into a small?!"
I've been wanting to get into tailoring for a while, gonna plan what sewing machine to buy and learn some stuff. I'm excited.
Look for an older one on Craigslist. Older machines are better. If it doesn't already work well or needs adjustments take it to a sewing machine repair shop to have it oiled and adjusted.
The one in the video is very affordable. Although I think they may have upgraded the model. Anyway, its just under $200 which I'm sure should be more than sufficient for someone like me that's only interested in making those basic fit alterations.. Had no idea they went up to $1000!
I am very impressed by your practical approach to mens style. Sewing machine no less. Cheers from Vancouver!
Thank you very much!
I've been waiting for this video for a long time
Your methods are so easy...I finally adjusted the pants I wanted to wear
I heard that when you make a curved line instead of a straight line from the sleeve to the pin, it gives a much better fit!
So a word of caution. Straight stitches on stretch fabrics aren’t really a good idea as if the fabric is pulled or stretches the stitches tend to break. Best recommendation use a serger/overlock sewing machine made for this specific type of alteration and fabric. Or trim the fabric leaving 1/4” seam allowance, pin and finish the edge with a zig zag stitch only. Zig zag stitches stretch with cotton knit material.
I agree the straight stitch made me die a little, but a serger is overkill for anyone who only does a few simple alterations.
All of the modern computerized machines have a stretch stitch (lingerie stitch/lightning bolt) and even the mechanical machines should be able to do a narrow zigzag.
You can even get good results with a straight stitch if you set a longer stitch length and stretchhhhh your fabric as you sew, once you iron it it looks like a normal length stitch but it has enough ease in the thread that it won't pop.
@@kray3883 this works well too 😁😁.
Thank goodness I have a coverstitch machine!
MORE like this, Marine! Please and thank you. :D
Noted! Thanks stoneykr 😀👍
Preparing a seeing machine, setting up the thread, seems too complicated.
Suggestion: we can use stapler for more convineance
Well done and well explained! You guys can save a ton of $$$ doing these things yourselves 😊. So many sewing videos I watch have women yammering for 2 minutes or so about nothing (I’m female & it annoys the heck out of me lol!). Narrator does a great job of getting to the point and sharing good info. And yes, I really do need to take in a shirt & found this! Great tip on the double needle…. I have a serger which helps but so does using that twin needle!
You helped me build the courage tailor my GG items
Didn't take my home economics studies serious in secondary so these days if I get a shirt too big for my frame I either give it to my female friend to adjust it for me I just try out the shirts I like in the boutique before I buy them
please do a tutorial with long sleeve shirts
it is done basically the same way except you go further down the sleeve
I struggle with sizes because I'm smaller than most men and been sewing at a young age by my Dad. I got loads of XX Large tops my friends gave me , I wore them as pjs for the sake of it. Now I'm going to resize them, so I can wear them as normal tops :)
You too?
Thanks Antonio. Now I need to go buy a sewing machine, an accessory I never imagined needing (or wanting).
Sounds like a plan, James :) www.realmenrealstyle.com/842-amz-brother-sewing-machine
Such a perfect timming for me 👌👌
Awesome. I have an autoimmune disease that affects my muscles and posture. Loose sleeves end up with these flaps on the outer tips. I've wished I could tailor them but wasn't sure how.
I have such a hard time finding shirts that fit me well, they're always a little off. Thanks for opening my eyes a bit.
Great video Antonio,Do dress shirts next i had most of my dress shirts tailored and then i lost about 20 pounds and i would hate to pay to do it again
Is it possible to just hand sow it?
Hello, what sewing machine are you using on the video???
Я просто залипал в ютубе и наткнулся на это видео, Полезные советы👍👍
Duuude I love this channel!!!!!!
I'm new to sewing & self tailoring. The back stitch is used quite a bit in these instructions. Any suggestions for those of us with older sewing machines that do not have a "back stitch" or reverse stitch feature on our machines?
This was so simple dude I can wait to try my husband had to buy an xxxl shirt because that's all they had and I want to fix it for him thank you
the video preview shows a shoulder length alteration but in the first minute of the video you state altering the shoulder is "impossible". nice...
Thank you...I def have to try this
Would have liked a bettet look at the finished t shirt
As a short fat guy I need to learn this. But since I know nothing about sewing, this was like watching a tutorial for a video game that I don't play.
