Anyone know anything about clothes alteration? I got pants cut to shorts years ago for a few bucks. However, shirts would be pricier. I have ~dozen XL work shirts I bought when I was fat(ter), but the shoulders are still just right/ better than L. How much would it cost to get say 6 fitted to my lessened girth?

Most Asian Dry Cleaners do it for a pretty reasonable price.

Kind of a great life hack, go buy a cheap suit from a thrift store and get the asians to fit it to you.

Looks way better than an expensive, poorly fitted suit

Sometimes I find name brand suits at discount places like Marshalls and have them fitted. Works out great.

Dead simple alteration if you own a sewing machine. You simply sew a new side seam to take in what you want, cut off the old seam if desired, or leave it there if it doesn't bother you (it's all inside the shirt). Works on pants legs too, if you want to turn baggy clown-pants into something more fitted.

learn to do this for yourself, it's a stupidly simply skill that will do nothing but save you money. Shit, you don't even have to Own a sewing machine, some community centers have them free to use, or get over on patternreview and see if there's someone local who's willing to help/donate an old machine to you.

This.
I've done this several times. Use a old shirt or two for practice until you get your personal pattern and measurements figured out.
