 What's up guys? I'm Brian Sacawa. You're watching He Spoke Style and today we're answering the question belt loops or side adjusters. So one of the many options you're going to have and choices you're gonna have to make when you're doing made to measure is whether to have belt loops on your trousers or side adjusters both do the same thing. They're designed to help keep your pants up but in my opinion there are specific instances when you should choose one over the other. So as a basic rule you should have side adjusters for your more formal pants you're a formal wear, your suits, your odd trousers and for your casual pants like chinos, jeans and corduroy's these are the pants you want to have belt loops on. So formal side adjusters, casual belt loops. So why side adjusters and not belt loops on more formal trousers? Well, I think you should stay away from belt loops for a few reasons. Number one is that they detract from the formality of the suit. Second in my opinion having belt loops on well-tailored trousers really interrupts and distracts from their clean lines. Third, wearing a belt with thinner cloth can honestly be a little uncomfortable. And finally if you do have to really cinch your belt up it creates a not-so-attractive bunching of fabric around your waist. Beyond that, I think if you're investing in made-to-measure clothing you've thought about it you've made the choice that you want to get serious about improving your style. Going with side adjusters is not only a mark of quality for the pants being made for you but I think it also says a lot about you personally like that you've done your research and you understand some of the finer points and nuances of tailored clothing and how it should be worn put together and styled properly. Now when it comes to side adjusters, you've got two kinds metal side adjusters and button side adjusters. I think the buttons look really nice and I actually have it on one pair of my pants but I wouldn't do it again. A button is really kind of an analog solution. You know, you only have two settings. Also when you go to the tighter setting that's going to create a little bunching of the fabric and because it's actually an elastic band over time it could lose its bounce back and not even do what it should. So all those are reasons why I personally prefer the metal side adjuster. It's not going to wear out and you basically have limitless options in terms of loosening and tightening. So there you have it, a very simple answer to a very simple question. Remember formal side adjusters, casual belt loops. If you have a question feel free to leave it below in the comments.
