has anyone tried on the OL constellation blazer? or have measurements for 44 or 46?

I have a M/48, sleeves and chest are tight and the sleeves are on the longer side, probably wouldn't work for me sized up. It's also lightweight and if it wasn't such a ***** to return... the matching trousers on the other hand are wonderful.

It's sold out here, but they've still got their measurements up.

I wear a suit jacket size of 36 and the Medium fits perfectly. My favourite thing about the jacket (which might be a negative for you) is that it's longer than most blazers. It covers part of my butt instead of stopping just below my belt like most most sw&d blazers tend to do. The arms are nice and slim too.

*Edit* thats.mana is right about the sleeves. They're on the long side and have finished surgeon cuffs, so alterations would be a pain.

I don't even look at B&S anymore. Mostly boring brands, annoying interface.

My biggest gripe is that there's no obvious way to search open B&S classifieds using the search function.

I'm in a multi-quoting mood, so watch me multi-quote!

Take a Dolce suit to a good tailor if you want to hear him laugh.
It happened to me.

Explain!

Anyone have any success getting shoulder pads reduced? My plebe interview suit has a "normal" amount of padding which makes me look like a linebacker/frankenstein.

Dude unless your suit cost like $20, don't do it! The risks are way too high, especially with your average corner tailor. Granted, my experience was with getting shoulders narrowed rather than reduced, but I managed to ruin the blazer in the process. Like signing up for a $300 class on why not to touch a jacket's shoulders.

took me like 6 months to sell a pair of petit standards. last time i sold a pair in way worse condition they went in like two weeks.
**** done changed. and of course, it changed right as i gained 20 pounds.

Yup, it takes less time to sell a house than it does to sell ish on B&S

Search function on SF is awful in general. I have to use google if I want to do some good sleuthin'

Don't think its really that much out of line versus the other sz-favored brands which all are pretty crazy retail. They use really nice fabrics.

Frealz. I just like that brand's stuff more than most of the alternatives. Waah. Really want those black cottonlinen shorts. But cmon almost a g for shorts? It does seem to be a short tier above in price. Also don't see it repped as much in many waywts. Prob bc hard to find on sale...

That is a good point.
If Dolce suits you (har har) and it's in the budget, go for it.
But they've got to have one of the biggest advertising budgets of any fashion company. So you're paying for styling with a side of international billboard promotions.

I have a fully canvassed Dolce suit that is def not badly constructed, fit is nice and yeah, the longer skirt provides a nice contrast to TB suits.

Designer suits get so much hate. Sold quite a few of them, yeah they're gonna cost more money for lower quality, but the qualities still not bad.

Goth ninja rap.

I'm a big fan of kid cudi's dancing in the video. It's nice to see someone gothninja'd out who doesn't look like a dorkus malorkus.

 

[BreezyBirch]

Who is dorkus malorkus? Sounds like a total dufus

 

[tween_spirit]

that's not goth ninja, but whatever

that video should be soooo good but that stupid part starting at 2:37 where kanye is just staring at the camera totally ruins the mood. it's just so goofy it makes you laugh

 

[noob in 89]

Damnit, man, where do you buy the Sise stuff? (I'm assuming they do sell their clothes... )


I am NOT liking the summer alternatives!

Spoiler

 

[Bam!ChairDance]

There's a bunch of it on Rakuten and Yahoo Japan

Even some pieces from that sweet fall collection we all keep posting pictures from

B&S has been terrible for quite a while now to be honest Not sure what causes it, maybe the new forum design? Recession? More and more people only buying deeply discounted stuff in sales (thus B&S prices no longer that attractive)?

Buying/selling activity tends to peak around sales and then taper off. I don't generally check B&S though because I'm a cheapass and can usually find better deals on flebay

This might be old newz to some of you but I didn't know this:

Satin only counts if it's silk
