    Yeah it just sucks having to replace that part of the wardrobe. I have two pairs of slacks that fit. Gidget tailored my dress shirts so those are fine. But my 3 suits are hanging in the closet and are unwearable along with 3 pairs of slacks. It's just so expensive replacing those items particularly when I have little need of them right now. I had a job interview and went sans jacket because I don't have anything that comes close to fitting without looking clownish.

      I have a suit that looks almost exactly like that. Love it.

          Is it grey or gray? I think it should be grey, and I noticed niku spells it that way. But when I type grey in firefox it turns red.

                  I had this question a few weeks ago, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey"]wiki[/ame] says either is okay.

                    ohmygosh wikipedia cracks me up. Who would seriously spend their time putting together a "shades of grey" demonstration?

                      I appreciate your appeal to my spelling authority. I did place fifth at regionals in the spelling bee!

                        One of the three suits I just bought, the reason for this thread in the first place, looks just like that.

                        Babs, I wish you could have found a less revolting model for your grey on gray demonstration.
                        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                              I tend to think the latter is correct, but that's without looking it up.

                              And the archetype departs from reality. Half of us are borderline illiterate. Some of us are literally illiterate.

                                That's what I thought, too, but apparently we're foiled again...at least according to firefox.
