that was rude...

M & i went looking at suits yesterday for the wedding i'm in and it was a rather rude awakening when it came to my sizing. most notably, it's a higher number than i thought. the good news is that our shopping experience at Men's Warehouse was vastly superior to K&G. unfortunately, K&G has the better prices. regardless, it ain't that cheap, and i'm wondering about the cost of JennKitty's bits that are being made because that could be adding to the cost of the suit.

i've commented with M about how women's sizing is just completely screwed up. a size 6 in one store is a size 4 in another, and a size 8 in yet another. there seems to be no consistancy in the sizing, which could help explain why it is women love shopping. they have to try every size on to find the one that fits which has now mutated into the love of shopping. hmmm...that's always been a mystery to most men, but that may be it. at least in part.

men's clothes tend to be more consistant in the sizing. however, as we discovered yesterday, even those are off. i've never bothered to measure my waist with a tape measure, using what my pant size is when i buy pants for work, jeans, etc. well, those numbers are lower than what it actually is which suprised both of us. the reason we were given was those fabrics will stretch, while suit pants aren't meant to. go figure. at it turned out, the pants that were what my waist was measured at actually did fit pretty well, but with a little effort, the size down will be a better fit (and require a lot less pricey tailoring) so off to the gym i must go.

so, that's where things are for the moment. today is sposed to be hot as hell. well, not Hell, that's prolly mighty toasty and i'm sure that there are places that are a little hotter than it will be here, but that's neither here nor there. not sure what i want to do today. have to call dad later. prolly get some answers to questions i asked the other day. at least things are beginning to move. literally.
