20somethingandcounting asked: So the smallest suit sizes are usually a 36s. My chest size is 33. I refuse to buy kids suits, and having them made is getting expensive. What are your thoughts on this? Can a tailor really reduce the chest size and make the sleeves skinnier and have the suit still look right and be cost effective?

Anonymous asked: When you wear a suit, what do you look for in terms of trouser/shoe coverage. I'm having a vintage suit tailored and I prefer a slim look, but I can't decide what an appropriate leg opening should measure. Suggestions?

filipegomes asked: Hi. I'm looking to buy my first pair of khaki chinos. I think I've found a really nice deal on eBay (Dockers D2) but they're marked as beige, which might be too light for a first try.

Since I'm having some problems distinguishing between the colors beige and khaki, can you tell me if what you're wearing here,...

Anonymous asked: Hello Tommy,

I have always loved khakis but I cannot seem to find them in a size that fits me well. When I do find them, they are pleated hammer pants :/ Now that fall quarter is over, I realize that I will be required to wear them come january. I am not sure of your measurement situation but I am 6'1" with a 35" waist and 42" seat and my thighs measure 33.5 each...

onsocksandsoles asked: Did your Dots gloves arrive? I ordered mine around the time you ordered yours and I haven't received mine and my two follow-up emails have been completely ignored. Just wondering if it's just me or if we should all be looking into chargebacks at this point.

Clouds likely to obscure lunar eclipse here
A spectacular show will take place in the sky over Chicago early Tuesday, but snow clouds will likely keep most people from seeing it. On the longest night of the year, a full moon will disappear at 1:40 a.m. behind the Earth’s shadow. There won’t be another total lunar eclipse on the night of the winter solstice for 84 years. Weather permitting — and the forecast for the...
