I've bought stuff off of her before. Terrible at measurements but with 152,000 active listings you get that... so you kind of need to go with your gut. A recent Kiton with 18" shoulders wont be 34" long, she might be measuring from top of the collar?

Unless someone buys them we'll never know but just by eyeballing it you can tell it's not 18" from top of shoulder.And I would assume they got 18" sleeves by measuring from the armpit, not the shoulder. The rest of the measurements are anyone's guess.
I am. But we're well past the 'keep fighting' stage of things. We're talking a year+ of constant job searching, have applied to every single listed position (coupled with dozens of open apps, hopeful applications to places with no stuff no, interviews via contacts, etc) that I'm even arguably qualified for in the state be it government, judicial clerkship, firm, or corporation. And nothing. Waiting to hear following a callback for a position I'd actually like so that's nice. But yeah, we're past the encouragement stage.
Anyways, big ups to catside! Tipped me to this gorgeous suit, exactly a pattern/color I was looking for and fits great (just need to take the sleeves and waist in a touch)! Is this Caruso for BB? Catside thought it was but I can't find any real info (only bit I can really find is that Caruso makes the BBBF stuff). This thread, this thread, and this thread reached no real conclusions. Regardless, looks and feels great, yay catside!
Left a couple fun ties I liked (Rooster cotton blackwatch and a no-name stripe I was fond of) because of bad wear in the knot area. Also, I very much remember this being discussed in thread but I don't remember the outcome. What's the deal with this, Royal seal'ed Van Heusen? Although 'twas my size I left it as it was an odd tone of blue and had plastic buttons.
Had a pretty successful morning. So irritated that I'm not a S/M or a 30 waist. The stuff was priced a little higher than regular thrift prices but still a steal. Had to pass on some nice stuff because I was short on bread and didn't know if anyone here would for sure want them. Passed on Gucci slim fit shirts in cool plaid patterns, a couple super nice hand made dress shirts by Mazzarelli and W+H, KMW and NSF selvedge denim in 30-31x32 but all had fades going already. The one that made me really sad was a pair of Grown & Sewn 5 pocket khakis. Such a little-known maker it has no re-sale value but I've been pondering over buying a pair at retail. After seeing a pair in person and the cool details they have I will pull the trigger eventually. A well-dressed fellow also grabbed some stuff that I hadn't seen yet (about 5 shirts and a few ties) and I later recognized him as a local eBay men's clothing seller.
Anyway, here's my finds. Don't worry, I didn't leave any Cucinelli, Isaia or Fray behind. All the stuff is mint. All from one guy - he was smaller. 15-15 1/2 neck w/ 34 sleeves and a 31-32 waist. Everything is available.
Also, sorry about the pictures being rotated every which way. They are all rotated correctly on my computer. Can't figure out why upload on here sideways and one even upside-down.

EG and Apolis shorts. So angry the Apolis are too small for me. Such a cool label.
and I popped a cherry today.
