akin to LL Bean in a lot of ways. ignore the semi-yuppie promo pics and they actually have some okay stuff.

i'm like a fish swerving between bigger baits.

 

[minxnim]

land's end isnt too bad but for the love of god most of their pants are ill fitting and pleated. christ!

 

[avi]

at least they do custom sizing for us irregularly shaped people

 

[minxnim]

custom sized pleats dude. that's not okay. you know?

you can also get pants anywhere and have them tailored for like, $10.

 

[avi]

meh.

 

[minxnim]

i've never understood people's aversion to seeing a tailor and having their clothes fit absolutely awesome.

 

[xfer]

fear of old Eastern European men?

 

[minxnim]

hm maybe.

my tailor is japanese.

 

[The Dope]

Seriously, sometimes I really wish I were a 30x32 sometimes so I could always find pants that I could wear. I basically have gotten to the point that if I find pants that fit and I like them even partially, I'll buy them just because I don't know when the next time I'll find some will be.

Fucking 34x36 = pretty hard to find without special ordering.

GET A TAILOR

prep you could become the official board tailor when you get your awesome sewing machine!

 

[minxnim]

i dont know how close i want to get to these guys' inseams though

 

[The Dope]

I would get a tailor, but wouldn't that make me a metrosexual?

The only guy I know who goes to a tailor is a complete metrosexual. He buys $150+ jeans and has them tailored. He also spends at least a half-hour folding his laundry and drives a Bimmer. He's like the textbook example of how to be a metrosexual.

the dope. my dad goes to a tailor! he's a freakin italian construction worker. so no. it doesnt mean that. just dont put crusty gel in your hair. seriously though most dry cleaners have a tailor. they'll hook you up.

 

[minxnim]

my ex told me all my clothes hung off me in a really annoying way because they were too big (then later on when i wasn't dying anymore complained i had put on weight and didn't weigh 85 pounds anymore... but anyway) so i took 24 pictures of him in his clothes candidly and handed them to him the next time he said it.

he needed a fucking tailor.

he shut up.

 

[The Dope]

Hmm, maybe I'll look into it. My mom usually hems dress pants and stuff for me, and she does a decent job, although I suppose there's always room for a professional touch.

 

[minxnim]

a tailor can even take in the sides and stuff. you have no idea how much more awesome pants get when every pair fits perfectly.

this thread got terrifying all at once.

p you make a good case, but this is about half as scary as the doctor coming out with a bonesaw. . .
