Di-Vestment

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

You would have loved the twenties. Buster Keaton films, a silent president, sartorial splendor...
