By the way this is very true. Suits/Trousers/Clothes are "ratio made". If a trouser has a waist of q it will then have a height of between x and y. Woe unto you if you are a short fat man or a tall thin one! Panel beating ni lazima. Otherwise you wait for @Genghis Khan to find a good tailor and share the information with you.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

@Genghis Khan - The short-fat/tall-thin was NOT meant to be about you. I was just saying that given that this category of people are disadvantaged when it comes to the waist-height ratios used, they have to get tailor made clothes or panel beat the off the shelf ones.

Obviously everyone has the right to get tailor made clothes/suits. It's only that Short-fat and tall-thin don't have much of a choice.

If you get a good reference, we might just meet there some day. As @vinii says, kuna biashara hapa wazua. Na pia kuna bia[beer]-hasara. LOL. Had to add that one!

The ration differ from region to region. A good instance id importing women clothes from far east and notice the bust will not fit most of our ladies.
