    Finally got my suit in the mail! I think it fits great, love the feel and material of the suit too. Can anyone give any feedback? Sorry for the horrible quality, I need to buy a new camera. [/URL

    Casual blazer with t-shirts

    I like the Armani Exchange blazers. It's like in the $150-$200 range I think. Pretty slim/modern/"trendy" look that's pretty informal (very, very short jacket length).

    What is your body fat?

    You have sub 8% bf and you can't see your abs? Also loved the "I'm purposely not trying to be huge and buff", as if becoming huge just happens over night with relative ease. Takes me back to when I posted on fitness forums, one of these guys would come along every week or so. I have a rough...

    What is your body fat?

    I've been tracking my BF regularly (like, on a weekly basis) for about a year now. I'm at about 7.5%-8% at 5'8" and 142 pounds. I work all muscle groups twice a week, but I don't have that much muscle mass on me since I'm intentionally avoiding a huge, buff body type, but when I flex I can...

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

    Question about sunglasses and your face shape. I have a square-shaped face, which, according to online sources should be paired with a circular or oval shaped sunglass. Would my face shape also match with aviator-style sunglasses, particularly tom ford ones? I'm not sure how to classify the...

    Does a jacket size 40R correspond to Medium or Small?

    I wear a 36R, and both 38R jackets and basically every single 'medium' out there fits like a tent on me.

    Recommendation for briefcase/messenger bag strap

    Tried doing a search on this topic but came up pretty short. I bought a medium-sized briefcase/messenger bag that's in a fairly good condition, only thing is that it didn't come with a strap. It's a medium walnut/tan in color, and made of leather. Is there any way for me to buy a decent-looking...

    How much should it cost to put lenses in frames?

    It depends on the frame of the actual glasses itself too...I a 100% frame-less glasses. Costs a whole bunch extra to make my lenses, esp. to make lenses smooth.

    Shoulder pain from bench?

    Use dumbbells. I don't even bother with the bar's any more. Any tips on how to actually get them off the ground? Getting anything 50 pounds or higher is a pain for me...which sucks considering that doing 50 pounds with dumbbells is like benching with only 25-30 pound weights on each side

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    I'd love to, but with shippment and taxes I fear they will cost me over 200$ TAT has all-inclusive pricing...I paid for my $480 quoted suit for that flat amount, including whatever taxes, customs, and shipping costs, given that you're here in the US, and only I think $20 extra for international...

    Deadlifts with lifting gloves

    You wear gloves while doing pull ups? I use gloves for everything that exerts force on my hands, which is basically everything except for ab workouts I use gloves for chin-up too, of course

    Deadlifts with lifting gloves

    Dang, so much hate here guys! Are deadlifts really *that* hard? I incorporate compound exercises into my workout (squat, bench press, and weighted pull-ups among all others), but I specifically have been avoiding deadlifts simply because I really do NOT want calluses. I noticed a couple years...

    From what I recall it takes only roughly two hours traveling from HK to Guangzhou using the train.

    Deadlifts with lifting gloves

    I want to start incorporating deadlifts into my workout. However, from what I've been reading and watching it seems that everyone says that grip strength is key for deadlifts, and thus lifting gloves are not ideal since it results in a weaker grip. I lift with lifting gloves primarily because I...

    Blazer Fit: Advice Please

    How so? To the others, thanks for the replies. I won't bother bringing it to a tailor, and I suppose I'll have to live without a navy blazer indefinitely. What a grave disappointment. =/ Just go to, like, Macy's or Nordstrom rack or something, you should be able to find a blazer in the 150-250...

    Where to Get Affordable Slim Fit Shirts

    I went to Saks off fifth when they had a sale on their $125 (?) dress shirts for $40. It was slim fitting, and, at least for me, their 14.5 inch slim fit shirt was a 95%-99% perfect fit for my 5'8.5", 143 pounds, 36R/36S slightly athletic frame. Fits as well as my MTM dress shirts I got...

    Shirts: How many washes before alterations?

    Do it once on medium heat in the dryer to let it shrink. Then only cold-wash and hang to dry. I don't understand the process of putting in the dyer after one washing. Are you saying the shrinking you will get is the equivalent of washing it with cold water 2-3 times (in other words as much as it...

    How many wears out of a button up...

    I used to dry clean all my dress shirts but I found that washing them in cold water and hang drying works wonders. I usually wear them about 3 times before washing them, or if there are neck stains on the shirt neck collar shows up sooner I'll wash it. How often did you wear them for, if...
