Clarks are in general good for your feet, they just aren't dress shoes. This is a dress shoe ....and a very practical one at that

All teams should be doing that.He crossed a line. While I agree, they should strive to be as healthy as possible, it's still ultimately up to them what they put in their body. They are grown men.I would disagree. That is a freedom you give up signing that contract. Your health is important to the team's investment. No different than a job requiring that you don't smoke pot.

You are a prime candidate for Allen Edmunds. Spendy, but they come in your exact size. Regrettably not the trendiest, but they are bombproof, rebuildable and come in 4E

I fucking hate pocket hankies too. Ghey

J, shirt color is personal preference. For an interview I am typically prone to a mostly solid color. What I mean by mostly is some pattern in the stitching or non-solid weave, but one color. Again, if you want versatility your goal is to pick a color palette up front. This will allow you to do neat things. ie, I can usually wear a full suit during the day, dress it down by changing to a different pant (can't be a solid suit usually then, but the pants have to have colors that compliment the pattern in the suit), dress it down one step further by swapping to jeans, one step further by removing the coat. Gives you a multi-use setup. Other than black I am horribly opposed to solitary color suits for this reason. IMO everyone that dresses up should have a black suit, but outside of that finding ones that mix with the color palette you've selected works well. For me that is greys on the bottom. Of course grey/black work so it integrates one step further. It also allows a shit ton of flexibility in the top. I regularly spend a week in an office and making everyone there feel like I packed 5 pairs of pants is the goal, but I do it with two. No one can get beyond the shift from a muted tone shirt to a striped purple and notice you have the same pants on. In particular if the pants just fit and disappear. IMO the biggest flaw most people make is in their shoes. Dress shoes should look the part. I'd rather see someone in jeans wearing a pair of Mezlan's than someone in a suit wearing Clarks. More often than not it is the other way around and looks fucking unprofessional and stupid. As for the color for your shirt for the wedding. I'd pick something muted and match the dress with a cheapo tie from TJ Maxx or the like. Plain grey shirt can be matched with a mostly muted tie with a little color splash that highlights the dress of the woman you are with. She'll be astonished at your planning. Just make sure to pick the tie out first and find the shirt that goes with your suit and brings it all together. And unless you are in the wedding party no flowers.

Followed by the penis joke. Hmm.

We never said that potentially other drivers won't be better in your box, just that conventionally the box should be designed around the drivers. You haven't shared the design, nor how it was chosen for the current drivers. There is a huge faction of stereo moron's running around promoting a fixed ratio that "works" for BP boxes and if yours is that way you may benefit more from a box than from a driver change. Would be a good time to do both if that is the case. *by no means am I insinuating that your box is like that, but considering that 99% of the threads that pop up here on BP boxes are people who have been misled elsewhere it is worth stating
-
And again you NEED to know a box size BEFORE shopping. Thought this was pounded home in your last thread.

Hugo Boss Longs are "okay". NOTHING else fits. My problem isn't the long as much as it is the drop. 44" to 35" isn't quite the standard 2"

A shirt that is 2x the price of a stock shirt because it is custom is actually half the price. Yep, in my experience shirts that fit last 4x as long as ones that don't. That HAS to be part of the cost equation.That being said if you are changing sizes soon investing in long lasting isn't logical. To put that in perspective. If I gain 10lbs my shirts will not fit. Your equation makes sense but even if I lost 100 pounds the pull across my back would not be fixed. My arms are relatively lean and all I care about is being able to grab things in front of me. Even if it was HUGE around the middle my neck and shoulders won't change more than a little bit. You are correct though it doesn't make sense to have a shirt that won't last long but I have enough money to spend on work clothes, where I can wear a shirt that doesn't fit at the end of 6 months oooor just have torn up shirts after 6 months. Kind of like tools. Even if used rarely the better the tool the more reliable it is. The size change comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular. For me, gaining weight means my neck, shoulders, and chest won't fit. Rest has space as I am LONG.

Exactly.

6.5" was to big for his lathe? Really?????? It is too big for mine. 6" baby lathe

J - you only need 1 suit atm, an interview suit. If you have a second interview you should have a second. A way to offset that is to have a neutral suit and two VERY distinctly different shirts. As for colors. I don't wear suits. I have a couple, but they are worthless to me. On the other hand sport coats are the bomb. Nearly as dressy and you can wear the same one all week, in particular when you visit different customers. So what does this mean for colors? ALL my pants go with all my sport coats and pretty much all my shirts. It does mean I stack stripes sometimes, but that IMO is even acceptable. All my pants are shades of gray to black. I generalize my colors of ties too. Blues with Yellow for instance works with any whitish, yellow or blue shirt. The goal for me is to pack one tie, two pants, one sport coat and 5 shirts for a week. Same reason your shoes should be black. Until you have 3 good pairs of black dress shoes changing colors is self defeating.

HOLY big frame.And i'm 5'11" but i like not having a foot tall seatpost...but it's a Mt. Bike. Just has a SUPER relaxed riding position. For going 10 hours at a pop great, but not so much for aggressive riding. I used to run a 10" drop from seat to bars for my tree banging bike. Now that I am older I'd probably limit it to 5-6". My road bike which is SUPER relaxed still has a 3" drop. Yes higher bars is more "comfortable" and I always preach comfort, but if you aren't one to lolligag at 5mph something more aggressive will do you well. *I would also NEVER ride a Mt. Bike with such a short seat post. I value my balls WAY too much. Plenty of ball clearance in case something happens, it's already tested I'll change the frame in due time, the angle probably makes it look bigger than it is. It is at least 5cm too big IMO

I'd go to Nordstrom's first. I wouldn't buy anything, but I'd get fitted for shirts. Grab the gayest looking sales guy there and see what he can find. If they can't find anything then I'd try Brooks. Not sure where they are outside of Maple Grove though, yuck.Yeah.... tried that. I think there is a Nordstroms at the MOA. For one of the highest average income per household areas the twin cities really lack "fancy" shopping. You have to fucking dig to find tallent. I also didn't finish. Eventually I will need to buy more suits when I loose weight and the ultra good tailor I use at men's warehouse had a little come to jesus anout how barely any coat will fit me be ause of my back. Nordstrom Rack will have pants. If you get one of their cards, you get $100 in free alterations a year. Highly recommend it.

Not sure where they are outside of Maple Grove though, yuck.What do you consider to. Be the best materials, brands, and colors for business? I need to start suit shopping soon. J Brand is what fits that isn't made from shit. K&G suits and the like will NEVER press right as they aren't sewn right. Not worth it. Same problem occurs with fabrics that aren't DRY CLEAN ONLY. Those can stay pressable, ones that shrink cannot. *note, not shirts those HAVE to be washed and not drycleaned. Cotton is king in shirts IMO, but that is for comfort. It's an absolute bitch to iron, but considering my past that is easy for me. Adding some poly to the shirt will greatly reduce ironing time. Suit should be wool

Best advice yet. Drink 2 gallons a day. It'll do plenty for your health.With his amount of time outside and such I can see 2 gallons. For those of s with more 'sedintary' lines of work a gallon a day is more feasible, and adviseable. J Keeps the stomach full as well. I came from a very lower middle class family. Meant I couldn't afford enough lunch, I learned at that age to drink myself full. It's made a huge difference in my body versus my siblings as well.

Senchez turning the gain down some? lol yah that'll happen. I'm curious to know if/how much it might change the peak sealed/door open/all doors open as well. I think this just might be a fun test. Dammit Lee.. why man.. why? haha I feel the test might be more appropriate for a slightly smaller enclosure. That box he has now is the size of a small car in dat der explorer.For the test to make sense it should be defined in rather good detail up front. Really easy to bias a test.

Absolutely the only reason for a BP in car. For your needs 6 > 4 so nice work. Only problem here is that it MUST be designed for the driver being used. Change the driver, change the design. That being said you can model the difference.
