Ideally, ordering your suit 4-6 months out is what we recommend. This gives the groom and the wedding party plenty of time to get their suits, try them on, and get any necessary in-person alterations made.

A good tailor can easily pinch in the jeans' waist at the center seam so that both the seat and the waist fit you perfectly. Tailors can also make jeans bigger at the waist, but this is a time-consuming endeavor that may cost more than the jeans are worth.
