No problem, it didn't. I'm just trying to impart some of my "old man" wisdom, such as it is.

When I complain that I used to fit into size 29 pants, my wife reminds me that I was also all skin and bones and no muscle. I bulked up (in a good way) after I went into the air force, and while I essentially have gone up a full size since my early 20s, I'm also probably fitter and healthier than I was back then.

If you've added 5 inches to your waist (since your prime) I don't know if I'd consider that fitter & healthier. My waist size was 30" when I was in college and skinny as a rail. Even though I'm in my late 30's now if I starve myself that 30" waist is still there. Allowing for a non-competing healthy body fat percentage I'm best off in a size 31 or 32. I read stories about how Steeve Reeves would walk into restaurants wearing tailored, skin-tight shirts with that crazy V taper of his. People would stop what they were doing and stare at him as he walked by with a "Holy ****" look on their face. Unfortunately that kind of reaction has never occured with me.

I really don't care what you consider. But perhaps consider that at a 29-inch wasit I might have been under my ideal weight, was eating crap, and had little or no muscle strength or physical fitness. Skinny doesn't equate automatically to healthy.

i dont know if this has been asked, but does the student discount stack on top of normal sales? so if its a 30% sale can i get the 10% too so its 40% off?

i'll probably just wait for a sale like that and get the tuxedo instead so i can wear it for my orchestra concerts and black tie events

depends on the store, and generally it would be an additional 10% off the already reduced price, not the original

 

[Althis]

well thats still a pretty decent deal i suppose, i'll have to ask my local store and find out

 

[joel_954]

I thought the student discount was 15%? 10% sucks.

EDIT: I also understood it as the discount only applied to full priced items, not sale items?

Is the info I have completely wrong? I'm so confused.

 

[Althis]

i dunno i thought teacher was 15%, maybe theyre both 15%

google told me 10% =/

Seems to depend on which store you go to. In my experience I've always been able to get it on all items.

Its definitely 15%, unless they've changed it in the last few weeks

 

[Althis]

ok cool, i hope they do stack at my store, they gave me the student discount once even when i didnt have my ID with me so hopefully theyll be nice about the sales =)
