My nudes seem fine after a couple months of wear, you can get that fixed at a tailor I think. Maybe your balls are too big for your pants?

Question of my own: I need a suit for interviews, all I have are blazers (black) and after reading this forum I broke down crying as to how unprepared I was for the business world while my streewear closet was decked out. Anyway, any recommendations for a good, inexpensive, first suit?

^ What's your budget? Smaller folks like us sometimes have difficulty finding quality suits that fit, but there're hope in the <$500 range, most popular in these corner being GetSmart's ThickAsThieves MTM suit. If you want something more conservative, eHaberdasher's new venture is also a quality option.

With an even more limited budget, your best bet is H&M or perhaps Hugo Boss via discounted channels.

Anyone mind critiquing the fit of my pair of new Dior 19's? I think the fit is abit better after the soak but could use some feedback

no. those fit pretty good. give them a few weeks and they'll look even better. the canes are still available if you want them $165 shipped.

What is the best place to buy Tricker's boots from? I'm planning on picking up a pair of the Stow in acorn.

I'm located in the U.S. by the way...

Thanks!

First Post:
I can get any color of these shoes for about 25 dollars. Is that a good deal and brown is the best color right? Has anyone had any experience with Gola shoes? Thank You

Probably http://www.pediwear.co.uk/ .

I'm not sure if they still do price matching or not, but still the best place online, that I'm aware of.

Ah I think I may give Thick as Thieves a try. How do I obtain measurments? Professional tailor? Do I give them my raw measurments?

Also which suit would be suitable for work/interview?

Ah, if this doesn't work out, its HM for me, I hear they have excellent slim fitting suits for us 5'9ers

Lastly, I hear no black suits correct? Tweed, navy pinstripe?

Thanks!

Hi everybody,

what's the sizing of classical timberland boots (in comparison to other brands like Adidas, Puma, Converse etc.)?

Many thanks!

other thread. sorry

joopie · Jan 5, 2009

I constantly see references to measurements of suits, shirts, etc. Would someone care to explain what these measurements mean exactly? Eg: from where to where exactly the the "shoulder" measured, etc.

Thanks!
