Shoe dent
Your shoes are too big, man. Size down next time. The front shouldn't be flopping like that.- Mookie

Thick as Thieves ONLINE
So I promised pictures, and here they are. To start, I ordered a 1 button peak lapel in the standard black wool. I didn't deviate from the house cut much, only asking that it be cut more like the guy in the brown suit than Jason's own suits in the photos. Measurements are my own (mostly) and...- Mookie

Got my suit today... it is ridiculously awesome, and fits better than anything OTR I've had before even after 1-2 trips to the tailor. Jason also put in a sick teal lining. I'll post pictures when I get home, but I'm coming back for more for sure.- Mookie

Suit Critique: Double Breasted Golden Fleece
IMHO, you're either a bay area person or you're a SoCal person. I voted for SF0. I'm definitely a Bay Area person. I'm from the East Bay originally but somehow wandered down here to continue my legal education. What if I'm trying to join your firm?- Mookie

OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY! I just got an email from Google Checkout that my TaT suit has shipped... I can't wait! Jason, what sort of shipping do you use (so I know when to be looking for this bad boy)? I also can't wait to see what you did with the lining, since I asked for a surprise.- Mookie

Suit Critique: Double Breasted Golden Fleece
So a while the downtown Los Angeles Brooks Brothers had some double breasted Golden Fleece suits in stock for $498, and that I had snapped one up. After a wait for the alterations, and a further wait for the surgeon cuffs (and the suspenders buttons that were left off the first time), I finally...- Mookie

Suit for "portly" men under $1000
My chest size is 42 and my waist size is around 36 or 38. That makes for a pretty boxy figure. But there's good advise in this thread. Thanks, guys. I wear a 44R jacket (sometimes a tall) and (typically) 38" waist trousers. Just get a non-Italian suit and you'll be completely fine. 8" drop is...- Mookie

Suit for "portly" men under $1000
It's not hard. I was wondering what type of suit would do well with my build. I think that withe my pudge in the middle, the slim fit suits are going to be too much for me. Should I be looking for Athletic fit suits? Are there any specific types you guys can recommend? Your problem is that...- Mookie

Jason, ever give any thought to doing some TaT accessories? I think that some skinny ties or cufflinks could fit in well with your design sense.- Mookie

Thick as Thieves ONLINE
well, if you wanna get technical about it, TaT's competitive advantage isn't just about production cost. It also has a number of intangible assets in his favor, like GS's longstanding reputation, proven expertise in the area of kickass suits and much acclaimed personal style. TaT also has as a...- Mookie

I just wanted to add that I'm planning on purchasing a suit from Thick as Thieves in the near future, and found Get Smart to be very helpful in answering questions I've had. I believe the cost:quality ration is unrivaled, and I personally love the aesthetic of the design. Seconding this. I...- Mookie

Joseph JAB v. BB Fitzgerald/Regent
Not really on the same par. JAB's "retail" of $900 is nonsense. Anyone paying $900 for it is overpaying by about 2x and can easily get it for $500 about any time. That said, IIRC, both are half canvassed, but I would expect BB comes with a bit higher quality fabric (from having handled both)...- Mookie

yea looking at Mookie's specs and pic, he's not *that* big...looks pretty normal to me Well, I used to be 350 pounds, man. I'm down to 210 as of that photo. Let's put it this way: 19.5" neck, size 56R suit, 46-48" pants size (not worn at waist). Jesus Christ I've come a long way... part of...- Mookie

Just paid for my first TaT this morning... eagerly awaiting the results. I went with a one button black peak lapel, and asked Jason to give me "orange or neon yellow or something else suitably garish" for the lining. I can't wait to see what he comes up with. For reference, even after the...- Mookie

[Fitting pics] Morning coat
Bravo, sir. I don't think I've ever seen pictures of anyone getting married in a morning coat, but now that I see your pictures and think about it, it seems that it ought to be a fairly popular choice. From the classic wedding attire guide. I doubt that guy thought he'd be famous for his...- Mookie

Big spender VIP treatment?
For instance, let us say the VIP is keen on a particular clothier. Does the store management withhold the stock from the general public unless the VIP takes a pass on it? You can get this same treatment anywhere decent where you spend the time developing a relationship with a salesman. I have...- Mookie

What shoes to wear with a white suit
Spectators are a good choice; if you're going more casual, island look, consider some woven leather loafers, like the Allen Edmonds Messina. Alligator loafers also work really well.- Mookie
