    Eff the both of you. I'll have you know that I have the first two non-proper-noun uses of the "ey" spelling in CUF history to my credit.

    EDIT: Also, nikuman has a past use of the "ay" spelling to his CUF credit. I have none.

      This is certainly nothing to brag about.

        Disclaimer: This is a post about an inexpensive suit. I hope SpaceGhost doesn't mind the threadjack

        A couple years ago I bought two suits from Decalofashion.com. They have pretty good deals, and, from what I could tell, pretty nice suits. They were running a buy one get one half off deal for select suits, and I found two I liked. I was nervous about one of them, however, as I didn't know the brand and was concerned about the quality. With the other, a tan Kenneth Cole, I felt I pretty much knew what I was getting.

        Despite my hesitance on the first suit, I pulled the trigger. The suits arrived, and they looked great. Even the unfamiliar suit (Emanuel Ungaro) looked awesome. I was excitedto get two suits for such a bargain.

        Unfortunately, after a single wear, the Kenneth Cole started having issues. In fact, it has never stopped having issues. Three seams have come unhemmed, the left lapel of the coat has developed an annoying pucker, and just this morning i noticed a tear in the corner of the rear pocket. All in all, I've probably only worn the thing a dozen times over the last two years, as it has constantly been at the tailor getting repaired.

        The Ungaro, on the other hand, i've worn with regularity, and looks as sharp as the day I received it. It's too bad, becasue I really love the styling of the KC suit (flat-front pants, two-button, double-vent, fitted coat) and the way it fits. Alas, it is a piece of garbage, and I'll probably give it to the DI.

          I hate Kenneth Cole. Cheap crap that falls apart. Their shoes are garbage.

          Merry Christmas everybody!

            Maybe it's because Kenneth Cole gives money to the GLBT lobby; not that there's anything wrong with that

                But their fine clothing divisions are in the toilet.

                    I'd love to see your closet. Especially all your shoes. Someday your posterity will come across your wardrobe and think "Grandpa's a pimp!"

                      nobody dresses for the holidays as well as you do HFN. Kudos for another fine ensemble.

                      Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

                            so I thought of you guys yesterday when I went to drop off some stuff at the alteration shop (the tank top I bought was wayyy too big). I go into the shop and it's completely empty except for this one guy who's having a new suit tailored. You can tell this guy takes his apparel very seriously and thinks he's about the hottest thing to hit Norman since the last round of solar flares.

                            Anyway, so the funny thing is this guy is wearing a chocolate-colored suit with salmon (yes, salmon) pinstripes. I tried to suppress my giggle as I'm watching this guy admire himself in the mirror, but I can't help thinking of Triplet's comment that pinstripes are alright so long as you avoid looking like a clown.

                            The guy was clearly waiting for me to say something (we two being the only ones in the shop), so I said, "wow! nice suit!" And he smirked all smug like, "don't I know it!" lol.

                              Probably Nautica. Burlington Coat factory is chock-full of brown Nautica suits with orangeish pinstripes.

                                I don't know. Interesting thing was, I told both my sis and my mom this story (separately), and each of them immediately responded with, "Was he black?"
