I cam accept the fact that you love dressing terrible....but your douchey "I work in the music industry" thing is NOT an excuse LOL! Are you trying to say you paid a lot of money for those clothes? Because if thats the case I might direct you seriously to a store called ROSS dress for less. You can thank me later.

No, musicians make very little. I shop at thrift and discount shops as stated.

Srsly! Spiff, make this your very own WAYWRN thread. The 'epic thread' potential is through the roof.

P.S I totally respect how well you've handled everyone's heckling. Kudos my brother!

That's kind of what this is. If you can through the pages, you'll see I've posted some "upgrades" and "improvements".

I think I'm going to have a lot of my suits taken in. It's hard being between sizes on a budget.

I feel you 100%. Sift through the BS (pun intended) section on this site for things that may fit you. Once in a while you can find nice clothes for much less than MSRP.

Most of my suits are the correct size. The problem is, nothing OTR fits me well without tailoring. I have broad shoulders and a smaller chest and waist. Most of the time it can remedied simply by having the waist taken in, but sometimes the armholes are still too large or too low.

I've had a few of my more expensive suits tailored with excellent results.

A few pages back there are pictures of me on Christmas in an Italian suit with a ticket pocket. This is a very close fit, the waist only needs to be taken in 1/2" or so.
