2. Some will love it, some will go out of their way to post a crticism with the suit or your stylistic choice
3. You put on your lawyer hat and cross examine them
4. They then point out even more things that are "wrong" and compare your suit to a "perfect" fitting one from someone else.
5. You can't see their argument and continue to drill down.
6. They then start making snarky remarks about your height
7. Thread is now on page 18

Get your suit, wear it, enjoy it and don't give a sh*t what some internet sartorialist wearing K-Mart boxers posts.
I disagree. I live for the arguments, snark and runaway hostility. What other reason is there for those of us who already know what we like to come here?

Dear dopey edmorel,

I would like to give you my sincerest thanks. You are truly an internet hero.

I remain, in my boxers

Mac

Touche. While I was honestly trying to contribute to the forum, I agree that it probably hasn't been very productive. I'll think twice before giving it another go.

But don't worry about my feelings. There isn't a day that goes by without someone in real life or on the internet making a comment about my height.

From my vantage point, that someone is usually you.

It's hard for me to see how things look from your vantage point. You know, since I'm so short.

Your Anna Matuozzo post is the one post that made me join the forum and start to really think hard about clothes. (now all of my shirts aren't good enough and don't fit

)

As a fellow attorney, all I can tell you is that the criticism never ever ends.

And unfortunately, the lawyer hat is one that's hard to take off when you're not lawyering.

I thought I was very nice last time round, and I never even made a mention of the fact that the shoulders were too wide by 1/16th of an inch, and the vents should have been cut 1/8th of an inch higher.

You're probably not kidding either.

TheFoo · May 29, 2008

Ahem, so can I assume no one else met with Luca?

dopey · May 29, 2008

If you also assume that everyone who visits with a tailor posts about it on a message board, your assumption above would be correct.

Maybe Cantabrigian placed a follow-up order?

8. They jealously start asking about the money again 9. You start wondering if it was worth sharing 10. Someone mentions your big head (usually yourself) 11. All of the sudden, the thread continues without disagreement
