I never learned cursive! Thanks to common core my public school only taught me satanism and ebonics.

I certainly don't need this but would have snapped it up in earlier times. I have one of their suits and they are quite well made. This fits more like 42ish I think. Indicative of times to come for suits?

Standard cuts will maybe moving towards extended shoulders, fuller chests, longer jackets, and a more forgiving waste?

I was thinking more of the future being formerly-expensive suits available for cheap as the market for them seems to be collapsing. Granted SP went out of business and you can find them all over now. As more places close then more nice stuff will show up on the secondary market.

Ah, well that would be a welcome trend! For my size, I'm hoping a bunch of 13-year-old prep school kids decide to sell off their wardrobes now that they're going to be homeschooled for eternity.

I already have a blue pinstripe from Zegna and don't need the SP one anyway. Still thinking about the linen suit. Tempting...!

I'm ok with second-hand robes. Wands must be bespoke.

Oh ****, it's just like the messages that appear when my bathroom mirror fogs up.

Haha the decision has been tabled. I purchased some decent pens from CVS that will tide me over for a while. I called Fahrney's but unfortunately they are not open for customers and I won't make a serious purchase until I can try the pens out in person. Feel free to suggest any other pen stores in the DC area and i can check if they are open to visits.
