Once every five years, maybe. When I did wear it, I had to take the waist in on the pants an inch or two on either side and pin it so they wouldn&#39;t fall off. Then, about ten years ago, I pulled it out for some event or other and it fit perfectly. It had shrunk, apparently. I took it out today to try it on for my daughter&#39;s wedding next week and, lo and behold, it&#39;s shrunk again. I was shaken, not stirred. Now I have to go out and rent a blasted monkey suit. I&#39;ll bet 007&#39;s tux doesn&#39;t fit him anymore either.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/?p=521\" target=\"_blank\">Something Better than a Diet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something Better than a Diet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"My Grandfather's Tuxedo - Politickles","description":"For years, my grandfather&#39;s beautiful, midnight blue, double-breasted wool tuxedo was way too big for me, but it didn&#39;t really matter because I hardly e"},"_slim_seo_primary_term_category":0,"_slim_seo_primary_term_post_tag":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1299,3390,3388,3386,3387,3389,417],"class_list":["post-6795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-bob-duplantier","tag-dieting","tag-father-of-the-bride","tag-grandfathers-tux","tag-rias-wedding","tag-weight-gain","tag-weight-loss"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6795\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/politickles.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
