Paid Members John Matrix Posted July 14, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2016 If you and your mate are currently sat on the number 2 bus in Peterborough debating the structure and predictability of Brock Lesnar matches, I can hear you!

Rey_Piste Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Speaking of whistles I got my suit out of the wardrobe the other day to see how it fit and if it needs a wash. I looked like a fucking child dressing up in his dad's clothes, because I have lost so much weight since the last time I wore it. Any recommendations of a decent place to buy one that's not a polyester number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 15, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2016 Don't think you can pull off the John Cena/Matrix look then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Considering the waist on the trousers are a 38 and I am currently a 34, I would definitely need a belt for them. The jacket's not too bad, just ling in the arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members John Matrix Posted July 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 15, 2016 Ā Don't think you can pull off the John Cena/Matrix look then? Oi... sharp as a fuckin' tack me. Ā I walked the red carpet once, at the Expendables III premier where I met Stallone and Statham and that lot? Did I ever tell you about that?Ā Brilliant it was.Ā Just wore my jeans and a t-shirt though, was no biggie.Ā Pied Antonio Banderas on the way in an'all.

Paid Members Duke Posted July 19, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 19, 2016 What's morning suit - is that the traditional English wedding suit with the long coat and the funny tie? Ā Edit: I have googled it - but I am interested to know what the term is specifically defined as. People wear it with a cravat, but I'll wear it with a normal tie. Top hat probably not included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Slaters menswear for my suits and they always give great service and can turnaround an alteration quite quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 It's a shit show as far as shops near me. There's not even a Burton's or Moss Bros where I could get something half decent off the peg and I have to sort something out for a mate's wedding on the 6th of August. After checking the suit jacket with a long sleeve shirt on it is comically too big. I will have to go to either Plymouth or Exeter to get something.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2016 If you need a suit altered take it to your dry cleaners, not a suit shop. They'll do it just as well and it's always cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 20, 2016 Nobody looks better in a suit than the Colonel. Nobody. Ā When I lost a fair amount of mass, my old Tyler Durden leather jacket was swimming on my shoulders. I washed it on a 2 hour heated wash and fucked it in my das tumble dryer on full pelt for 100 minutes. Fitted like a pinky up a pipe afterwards. Ā You can shrink your clobber yourself. Seriously, I've done it countless times to worn out of shape Cedarwood State/Penneys/Primarks shirts and my favourite Billabong t-shirt has pretty much been Christian Bale'd over the years.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) It's not a secret or anything. It's generally part of their advertised services... At least it is in every dry cleaner I've ever been to. But yeah, just go in and ask if they do alterations.
