    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

    Man, I've been waiting to buy a TOJ, because I've been getting in better shape, and wanted to wait until I was stable, but I'm clearly out of time. I will have to be slightly chubby forever to maintain a perfect fit.

    Jeans Length Problem

    I have them professionally hemmed to fall about an inch and a half bellow where I'd like normal pants to fall, and then cuff them. You might want them a bit longer if you stack.

    French Cuff Size

    I just got some shirts from the last Charles Tyrwhitt sale, and they generally fit pretty well everywhere (the collar is a tiny bit looser than I like, but is perfectly acceptable), The one issue I have, is that I can slip my hand out through the cuff without removing the link if I scrunch my...

    Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

    It's way more fun though.

    Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

    Dressing like Motoko is likely a mistake. Skin tight body-suits rarely work well in spring.

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I appreciate the comment. I was leaning towards not doing anything, and that clinches it for me. Thanks. The waist is a tiny bit loose, but it's not like it doesn't stay up or anything.

    Leather jacket for someone who is VERY short

    This looks promising. If I order something I'll name you as a referral.

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I scored a basically unworn pair of 3sixteens at a thrift store the other day, and am wondering how workable the fit is. They're size 29, which is one size smaller than my pants size, and one larger than my normal jean size. I'm thinking of having them slimmed down a bit when I have them hemmed...

    Leather jacket for someone who is VERY short

    I'm looking to buy a nice leather jacket to celebrate graduating college. The problem is that I'm 5'3" and 130 lbs. There are very few jackets in short sizes, and most of those are still too long. Does anyone know of a reasonable company that makes bespoke leather jackets, and if not, is there...

    Leather jacket for someone who is VERY short

    I'm about 5'3, 130 lbs, and would like to celebrate graduating college by getting a good leather jacket. The problem is that, unlike suit jackets, leather jackets almost never come in short sizes, and those are still usually too long. A coat designed to sit at my waist sits at my crotch. Is...

    Ask a Question, Get an Answer - ask all quick questions here

    I'm thinking about grabbing this leather jacket on sale for 150 at STP. My main concerns are that the polyester lining in the sleeves (body is cotton) indicate that it won't last very long, and that the waist might be a bit low on me (I'm 5'4 and wear suits that are 30.5" long). The large is...

    Just bought a suit

    You should have gone custom, or with a better brand. Armani is overmarketed. Brands like Zenga make nicer clothing. That said, as long as it is fully canvassed, you probably got a fairly nice suit. You've had it tailored, and there isn't anything wrong with it, so you can't return it. If you...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    Found a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo monkstraps at my local consignment shop for $30. One of them had a quite noticeable scratch on the toe, but given that the last dress shoes I could afford were from Payless, it's still a noticeable step up.
