    I think I have a couple of others kicking around somewhere.
    I don't need to wear suits. I work remotely and plead guilty by mail.

    I'll bow to your superior knowledge regarding the analogy.

    Although I do actually like olives.

    I used to think that too. Then I gave up the fags, taste buds changed and now I love em.

    I'd like to find somewhere that will fit a 19 1/2 inch collar, 54" chest and short thick arms.
    Every time I buy off the shelf to fit chest & neck, the arms are six inches too long and too thin. I end up Rolling the sleeves up or having a mass of material bunched up on the forearms. Either that or they are so slim fitting on the arms I split the seams on the upper arm.
    Same with trousers, I have a stocky body and short thick Tree trunk legs. I can never get trousers to fit without the upper leg being stretched taut and pulling the damned things out of shape.

    I'm sick and tired of having clothes altered to fit
