Di-Vestment

[the_gneech]

You remember my giant splurge on vests? Here's how it played out:

Thornton: Out of stock in 2X and canceled. Experience suggests it would not have fit anyway.

Vigilante: Received in 2X, too small, returned for refund because it doesn't come in 3X.

Canvas Double-Breasted: Received in 3X, slightly snug (!) but viable fit. Extremely snazzy. Lost a button after a week, but lythandra was on hand for repairs.

Pocketwatch: Received, worn with vest, also extremely snazzy.

Alternate Double-Breasted: Received in 52. Fit more like a 42. WTF. Return in exchange for a 54 in the hopes that it was mis-marked, still pending.

NET RESULTS: Four vests ordered, one wearable, one pending, two failures. Plus pocketwatch.

Ain't easy being a dapper gent.

I love the pocket watch. I have one, a see-through watch, but it is broken. :(

I assume your dapperness is aware of Lackadaisy ( http://lackadaisy.foxprints.com/ )? I'm so thinking i want to start dressing like that, be interesting to do it as i'm a cabbie, wonder what was appropriate taxi (not chauffeur) driver clothes for the time.

Actually, I wasn't aware of it. Thanks for the heads-up!

I downloaded that picture from somewhere, possibly the VCL and one day i decided to follow the URL on it, and found my way to Lackdaisy. One of these days i need to take the time and read the archive, the story is interesting, and the artwork is incredible.

Now to find an answer to my question, ifn i can figure out where to look.
