Check Your Bottoms

Folks wandering the halls of Main State, I have one suggestion to make your fashion life more enjoyable - check your bottoms. No, that isn't dirty. It is a gentle suggestion after seeing quite a few people who haven't done so.

Here's what I mean - when you buy a new suit or a skirt with box pleats or a slit, usually the manufacturer will put a big stitch in vents of the jacket or in the pleats to hold the shape. Those big stitches are very obvious and are meant to be removed before you don the aforementioned article of clothing. That way the vents, well, vent and the pleats actually fold and move appropriately, versus pulling awkwardly, bunching, gaping, or any other word you'd like to use to describe what happens when you don't remove that stitch.

So that's my advice for the day - check your bottoms.

  1. No doubt that bugs me as much as seeing Chinese guys with the manufacturer tag left on the cuff of their of the rack cheap suits.

    Just to take your bit a step further -- when you have a suit made\cut break in the pockets even the breast pocket - otherwise dudes you just look like you don't know how to wear a suit.
