FWIW, I would have bought up every single AS in my size at those prices.

I don't mind the single pleat because of my ghetto booty. Let's just hope that the cuffs let out easily.
That suit looks great!

Actually, I don't mind cuffs. I just need the extra fabric since I'm usually about a 30-31" inseam. I've seen well-worn garments that couldn't be lengthened because they have a permanent line. Hopefully I won't have that issue here because the edge has been hidden inside the cuff rather than getting worn out on the outside.Last edited by alan; March 14, 2014, 11:10 AM.

Originally posted by alan View PostI feel you. We've begun rebuilding our master closet at home, it has occurred to me that even though my wife has a lot more hanging clothes than I do, I'm quickly approaching as many shoes as she has. Between the two of us, we're going to have close to 40 linear feet of shelving just for shoes. And that doesn't include the boots on the floor. Thankfully, most of that is still hers, but I'm going to be instituting a 1-in-1-out policy.

none of this is mine, except that one box in the lower left.

Originally posted by fey View Postyea, even in my experience this is one to remember. i've been having laughs thinking of the implications of a $65 AS... how much would import duties alone be on a UK shoe? i'd guess it about that much, plus shipping it'd definitely be more than that. adding these pairs to my also just acquired alden 975s and wolverine 744s, i'm amazed my gf hasn't flipped out on me for filling our apt with new shoe boxes yet!
