[quote=FlyerInHi]I agree with scaredy about the brands, Ben Sherman and Brooks bros are good bets.

Fit is key, brand is meaningless. A suit from Zara that fits well would work, if you know a seamstress that can adjust.

For So Cal. material is not that important. Just choose a light fabric.

For an idea on fit, just look at the TV new anchors. Shirt sleeves should show a little so jacket sleeves should be shorter. Over long jackets and pants make you look like a penguin.

The slim fit is in.[/quote]

a bigger baggier suit will make you look old. which is not necessarily bad if you’re old. i got this awesome brooks bros suit, fully canvassed (discussed on askandy) and just th e softest loro piana ialian wool imaginable, probably a 3k suit, for 125 on ebay, but it was older, though in mint condiiotn, and very not slim.

still, i like it. i am envelopped ina sea of wool.

perhaps this will come back in style before i die…

Brooks Bros on sale is generally an OK bet.

Tailoring matters a lot. Fit is paramount.

most brands are meaningless.

young people often like the job crew suits. Not a terrible deal.

personally the best off the rack fit suit I’ve found for my slim yet muscled self is Ben sherman. But I haven’t tried that many.

FACT: children should not be ruining their financial futures incurring ruinous debts for education that may not provide any financial benefit..

what we should do as a result of that fact is open for debate.

[scaredyclassic]

[quote=FlyerInHi]I was talking to my neighbor about watching the Price is Right as a child. The appliance giveaways elicited oohhs and aahhs. Nobody cares anymore. Just replace the appliances when they break.

When you buy a house, it’s good idea to have a home warranty that will cover plumbing leaks, etc… You never know what you encounter when you move in. The policy is cheap when ordered through agent/escrow, and most of time the seller pays.

I wouldn’t recommend renewing the policy yearly though.[/quote]

i just bought a vintage mint condition IBM slectric. not sure how old it is..probably 40plus years…my kids were enchanted. they were unfamiliar with the “return” key. it’s got a type ball that punches the hell out fo the paper.

someone’s gramma died and didn’t want it. it even comes with a vintage perfect condition plastic cover. so beautiful…so olive ina color…

i am going to type some serious shit on that.

engineer student kid was loving the build quality. interesting difference in tolerances in construction, from say, an ipad… weighs a ton…hums like a washing machine

also, the thing can be heard throughout the house.

[quote=flyer]Be sure to check out the Festival of the Arts in Laguna during the summer, and The Pageant of the Masters (staged “living art). We’ve traveled to galleries all over the world, and this is an event not to be missed.

[scaredyclassic]

i sometimes do bodyweight squats in line at costco or traderjoes and my wife and kids disapprove.

“You blew 150k on an education you could have gotten in $1.50 in late fees from the library.”

good will hunting.

[scaredyclassic]

we always say we’ll be happy when this happens, or that happens. we need to enjoy the current fuckedup chaos we have now and not pray for additional madness and disorder. .
