    Indochino suits?

     Are you the one who started Indochino Review? haha. Good to see you on SF too.

    Going to a wedding: Need help picking outfit!

    You're right, the gingham is in style right now, but I think that would look best with a solid suit, not pinstripe. So you gotta pick either or. Pinstripe suit with solid color shirt or solid suit with gingham shirt.

    Indochino suits?

     Agreed. IC won't be insanely high quality, but it will be better than the suits you get from fast fashion companies like Zara and H&M.

     Yea, you're driving your heels into the ground and lifting the bar off the ground initially with your knee extension. You then complete the rep with your hip extension.

    What's Your Suit Shopping Experience Like? - Gym Go-ers and Athletically Built Guys

     I'm fairly new to this whole bespoke thing. What's their price range usually? I'm assuming they're more the high end priced suits. Yea, I thought that was crazy how you lose so much weight so fast but then I remembered after not working out for one month while I was in Japan, I had...

    What's Your Suit Shopping Experience Like? - Gym Go-ers and Athletically Built Guys

     Totally like you guys. My thigh measurement is 25 and my booty pops out because of all the squats and running I did from soccer. Want me to fit into a slim fit pant? You must be joking! haha. But yea, I did some searching on SF to see if there were any other threads regarding our...

    What's Your Suit Shopping Experience Like? - Gym Go-ers and Athletically Built Guys

     Yea, that's interesting because I'm starting to run into the same thing, too. The MTM company I shop from have so many different tailors all throughout China, that even though my measurements remain the same, each suit will be delivered slightly different each time since each tailor...

    Indochino suits?

    Yea, I think so.

    What's Your Suit Shopping Experience Like? - Gym Go-ers and Athletically Built Guys

     I'm curious, what was it that disappointed you with MTM?

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     HOLY CRAP. My max deadlift is 315....I can't imagine heaving heavier than that up to my chest. That's solid man. But yea, it seems like there's so many gym go-ers and active guys here on SF, so check out the thread that I started...

    What's Your Suit Shopping Experience Like? - Gym Go-ers and Athletically Built Guys

    http://www.styleforum.net/forum/thread/156289/random-health-and-exercise-thoughts/8190 I've noticed there's a good amount of people here on SF who enjoy lifting weights and hitting up the gym and doing all sorts of other activities (cycling, swimming, climbing, etc.). All of us who exercise...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     I feel you, but to me it's not worth causing permanent damage/worse damage so you can't ever lift again. Let it heal first. I stopped power cleaning for literally 4-5 months because my wrist was still tweaked and wouldn't heal quickly. It's literally back to 100% now so I'm back in the...

    Quality T-shirts: In the Gym?

     T-Shirt. haha.

    Quality T-shirts: In the Gym?

     Yea, just cut off the sleeves of any old shirt, and it'll work.

    Wide vs Skinny Lapel

    I tried on a wide lapel blazer once, and it looked a little off for me since I'm more of an athletic build and have a bigger chest. I think having a thinner lapel helps balance things out.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     TOTALLY. haha. I'm in the cutting fat phase right now so I do a lot of circuit training that includes deadlifting or power cleaning with muscle ups or pull-ups (CrossFit type exercises). Just going straight with no rest for 15 minutes leaves me drenched. I never understood the guys that...

    So I got a Hugo Boss suit at Nordstrom today... Did I make a good purchase?

     Totally agree with you on this one. As good as fully canvassed is, only the ones who actually know about its feel and quality will marvel at it. For people who can't dish out all the money in the world for a canvassed suit, they have to do the best they can to find the right balance among...

    Why no love for the three piece suit?

     Totally agree. Also, how well the jacket and vest fit on you matters. With an untailored suit, a 3-piece would be suitable for older gentlemen. haha. But nowadays these suits are being tailored for the slimmer, younger crowd, making them look good.

    Indochino suits?

     Hey, I'm 5' 9" and 180lbs., and I've purchased two suits from Indochino. I got their Charcoal Suit and their Ultimate Gray Suit. I was really satisfied with my Charcoal Suit (I only had to alter the stomach by tucking it in 1 inch). My Ultimate Gray came out a little off because they...

    Shirt and Tie combo for this suit?

    Agreed, I like your choice of pink....light blue would be a good option too. The contrast collar and cuffs are good too for either color.
