  1. Going with the "well-fitting clothes look fashionable" idea, are more expensive clothes in general better fitting or is it best to buy something cheaper and pay a tailor (or someone else? who?) to alter them to fit you better?

    What kind of fashionable are you looking for? Bleeding edge, respectable, subcultural, classy, simple?

     

    And what is your definition of 'well-fitting' ? (it changes all the time) Tailors are really quite expensive, only really an option for people with upper-middle class income. (most bespoke garments cost hundreds of dollars) It used to be that every man had a few different suits, all tailored specifically to him. Now that is a luxury, really. But of course, tailored clothes will 'fit' you the best.

     

    If you know the right people, going to diy route is awesome! There are lots of people who enjoy doing clothing alterations, I've had a friend in a costume construction class help me change the fit of some late 80's acid wash jeans.

     

    Just normal. Respectable I guess. I socialize with people from different walks of life and don't want anything too subcultural. At 27 most "streetwear" feels a bit too teenager-y for me. At the same time I don't want to look like a yuppie. Seems most people my age prefer the hipster look. I suppose that's what I'm closest to with my current wardrobe, but who the hell wants to look like a hipster?

     

    Well-fitting to me means shirts that don't look like a big sack in the back, t-shirts that wrap nicely around the chest, pants that don't hang in the crotch area, necks on shirts that are the right size, things like that.

     

    I don't know any people who tailor.

    Well, tailoring like one item isn't going to be so bad, but in general you want to buy clothes that fit properly. Part of that is being in decent shape. Generally designer clothes are better fitting in my experience than regular clothes, but it all has to do with what you want to look like. Usually the key is to buy certain items that might be a little expensive and then fill in your wardrobe with less expensive items. I'm about to get this nice jacket I bought tailored because it is too big for me now. I'm hoping that it isn't too pricey.

     

    Yeah that's pretty much a no-go. I can easily slim down a bit but with narrow shoulders, large hips and pencil arms it's always the clothes that are gonna have to make me look good and not the other way around.

     

    Seems the consensus here is to look for brands that fit your body shape, which is mostly what I've been doing. Seeing as I'm poor I'll postpone looking at the more expensive brands for when I get a job.

  3. Be careful. If there's one thing daytime television has taught us, it is that when a woman that seems to good to be true gets together with a timid guy and asks him to travel abroad with her, the only possibility is that she will disappear from their hotel room upon where he will be forced to act as a drug courier if he ever wants to see her again. He inevitably ends up in prison where he realizes it was all just a hoax and that she was just used by bait by a hidden crime syndicate.

  4. I've seen that jello crap before. Appearantly it's called aspic, a fitting name I feel. Here in Norway it's called a cabaret for reasons unknown to me. Quite a few people eat lutefisk for christmas here, so it can't be that bad I guess. I will probably never eat it however.

  5. I just recently got in to Drexciya. I've been listening mostly to the early very dancable stuff and I'm loving it. The hook on wavejumper or the bassline on journey home could have fit right in on any tri repetae track (or the other way around).
