Is there something off with this suit?
A little bit of back story. This is my first MTM suit. I've had it for close to seven years and has escaped the thrift store a few times now, even though, in those seven years, my weight has fluctuated a bit and the suit didn't fit for several of those years. I probably kept it because of how expensive it was. $600 at the time. I made a bunch of first time mistakes. The jacket is slim fit. I chose too many options (surgeons cuffs, hacking pockets, ticket pockets, etc. My biggest mistake was going to Men's Warehouse. Not a great experience. Anyway, I'm getting ready to donate to the local thrift store and the suit is on the roster again so I took it out and tried it on. For the most part, it fits. It will need a few adjustments in the jacket waist and hem. The pant legs need to be lengthened a couple inches (flood pants were in fashion when it was made) and that should fix that. Something still feels off about the suit but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm not sure if it's just because I want a new suit and am subconsciously making up excuses to get the new suit, or if there is really something off about this suit. I don't know, so I turn to you Gentlemen for advice. Is there something off about this suit? Should I thrift it or do you think a tailor could fix what's wrong?

Still around, even if not posting
Hey all, I will still be around popping in and out as I can over the next 3 weeks depending on internet and WiFi access. My family and I are off to Japan for 3 weeks as of tomorrow 1055am Sydney time, and back on Saturday 10th October. I do plan on taking many outfits, eat all the foods I can and take many cultural photos. I have also packed my Black Tie 3-piece suit to get some fun photos on the cruise portion of our trip. So stay classy everyone and see you again on the regular soon.

Getting off the disposables
I'm about ready to make the switch to a safety razor and ditch the Schick disposibles I've been using. Any suggestions for a butterfly safety razor that's not going to cost $40-50 and blades for a beginner? I won't be going the whole badger brush/soap/bowl route, instead I'll continue using my shave butter.

Van der Hagen at Target is only $20 and comes with blades. You can also get affordable blades at Target as well.

I've also seen them for low price at antique stores if you fancy a vintage one, but that can be a hit and miss.
Fitted 100% Cotton T-shirts
What's up guys💪 I am 17 years old, from Europe and I have been looking for some slim fit 100% Cotton Shirts for quite a while now. I personally dont like Spandex and synthetic fibers in general. I asked this question already to Antonio and he recommended the Brand son of a Tailor. Their T-shirts seem to have the kind of fit I am looking for but the only problem is the price tag... I'd really appreciate some relatively cheap slim fit 100% cotton T-shirt recommandations that are available in Europe👊

I haven't tried these, but they are already in Europe and 3 for 30 euros doesn't sound like a bad price. https://www.marksandspencer.com/3-pack-slim-fit-pure-cotton-t-shirts/p/clp23094111?color=NAVY
Remy Leather?
Anyone have experience with a Remy Leather double collar leather jacket? Recently picked one up because I thought it looked good but I am not sure about how to style it. The double collar is definitely a unique look.4

This one? I would style it the same way as any casual leather jacket. I would go into more depth but that looks like a very versatile jacket and the options are limitless. Here's a video on the topic that I hope you find useful. You have to skip to the last part the get styling options. https://youtu.be/5q3HAZRsb64?is=Eg5YItmeRt_PWsRp
