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...

Anonymous asked: Just purchased my first pair of Florsheim Imperials for work. They're taking a beating with all the salt/sand currently covering New England's streets. Any suggestions on how to keep wood soles in good shape during the winter?

animageofman-deactivated2011021 asked: Hey been following your tumblr for awhile now, which is good stuff. Anyway I saw your other blog and the post with varying heights and weights. I myself am 78 inches tall and 195lbs, so I know that it can be hard finding stuff that fits right in length. I wear a medium shirt and a lot of times tall sizes are either too long or hard to find if they have any at all. Since most of my height is in my...

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.

He calls himself the “Sole Man.” Englishman Arthur Jones, who lives in China, has embarked on a year-long mission to live his life barefoot. He is one of a growing tribe of “barefooters” who have sworn off footwear, whatever the weather.

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.

Solstice-eclipse overlap first in 456 years →
Celestial bodies will literally align for my birthday this year.
fuckyeahtheuniverse:
