    Jantzen order timeline

    I was very happy with the quality of the fabric. The fit was better than I expected for a first shirt. I need to make a few measurement adjustments and I'll place a larger order. Frankly, for $44 I am floored by the deal at Jantzen.

    Trousers: where should waisband lay?

    Dear Fellows, Where should the waistband on a pair of dress trousers lay in relation to the body? I tend to favor having them at or just above my umbilicus, generally known as the "natural waist." I have a long torso, short legs. I am 6 feet tall with a 30.25 inch inseam. I find...

    Traveling to tokyo:

    Jon, The humidity is the reason I don't like south Florida. Japan in August was subjectively worse. HOWEVER, I had a lot of fun. But I'm not kidding about leaving salt stains on my clothing from copious sweat. Best.

    Shirt pleats: box, side, none, etc..

    As I think about it, I suppose that side pleats will give you .25-.5 inches of extra movement...not much. Maybe I should try a plain back. And I do have very large sloping shoulders, which makes it difficult for side pleats to lay properly. Thanks for the ideas.
