1) Not suit pants.
2) Cream shirt.
3) Briefcase.
4) Outdoors table and chair set.

Aren't you bald? Why are you even talking?

They are suit pants, you just don't realize it. Anyway, you look better than the guy whose jacket fits like a maxi-pad with wings. Losing all the hair that used to be on my tongue has made talking much easier.

I am so pathetically short that the sleeves were long enough to be altered from the bottom. The end of my sleeve after alterations is still a bit before the working buttonholes begin. So, it wasn't an issue with shortening the sleeves normally. My sleeve length for shirts is 32.

This thread is going to be a disaster, so I guess I'll just ride the tidal wave of feces.

I'm willing to bet we're going to see between 1 and 4 of these jackets on the B&S (or eBay for better results)

You might want to ask zbromer for one of his pills, in that case.

One of the things that makes those jackets look so wide is how far the pockets are from the coat's front edges. That's an odd -- and a bad -- design choice.

There's suppositories, Moo. Is that a problem?

It also flares at the hip, which is odd for such a heavy cloth. There's no structure to the coat, which makes the bottom sort of flap about.

This item seems to embody several points raised by RJMan in the uncomfortable truths thread.
