From Cody. Off the RACK

i asked if you were ordering another one from nmwa?

 

[mrjester]

Sell. It doesn't fit you. At all. Measurements you took are proof.

You could continue wearing it to work as MF suggests, but it still doesn't fit you.

How does it not fit him?

Honest Q. Thanks!

The p2p is 41. Noodles needs at least a 43 inch (21.5 doubled) chest.

You can see in the picture the jacket is way too tight

@Mr. Six that's a brilliant idea. The turnaround would be a lot quicker and it keeps options open. You don't find the braces get a bit tight and tangled with the vest though?

Not at all. I think it's a good compromise.

What are good underwear brands? I have big thighs from lifting weights which leads to my underwear always riding up around my thighs.

 

[The Noodles]

Hanes....???

Vests and braces absolutely go together. What you shouldn't be doing is wearing a belt with a vest.

@sugarbutch that's definitely not in the cards. I'm fine now without any mechanisms for the moment but I know the trousers will stretch a tad. Huge thanks to the noodlers for bringing the braces option to my attention. Plus I get to Kop another cool item.

Any suggestions on good braces?

^ Albert Thurston. Boxcloth and barathea. Exquisite Trimmings has some. There are some deals on eBay. You can also order directly from Albert Thurston.

 

[DonRaphael]

If I'm not mistaken, Albert Thurston makes TM Lewin's braces as well. That's usually a cheaper route than going through A.T. directly.
