    Toxic antibiotics, Achilles tendonitis, Recovery and a Brooks Brothers Suit Cut Review

    For the last 7 months I have been recovering from bilateral achilles tendonitis brought on by a toxic reaction from fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

    press marks on suits

    Usually if I take a dark colored cotton or syntheyic suit to my cleaner, I tell them not to press it hard and if it comes back shiny they will never see me again. I have one Armani suit that I like to wear during thunderstoms. It is mostly poly with some viscose and lycra. The cleaners put a...

    opinions please

    Recently, I have been getting a 1.75 inch cuff on my suit trousers. All of my trousers are slim fit and I like the look. I just bought a black suit though. I think plain bottoms will look better on a solid black suit. I will never really wear this one to the office.
