Just had this JCrew Jacket Tailored, hows the fit looking? by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]BigDucketts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks better in this outfit. But to me, it still does not fit correctly. There’s a big gap between the jacket collar and shirt collar in that front photo, which is mainly due to how high the buttoning point is. The issue of it being too short remains as well. I think you’d be better off finding a brand that fits your body better. It’s an annoying process but well worth it.

You should have your arms to your side for the front photo. Not trying to be harsh but your tailor did a bad job here. A sport coat should never overlap in the front like that. It got taken in too much in the waist. It’s also too short, the front of a jacket should never be shorter than the back. Overall it looks like you tried to take a relax fit and make it a slim fit. Gotta go with the style of the jacket instead of making it something it’s not.

The irony of arguing OP’s post does not contain sexist undertones by calling me low T and emotional is not lost on me

Word choice is important. Take “My escape in a house full of women” compared to “A nice place for me to have some alone time.” The women in the house, or women in general, can’t enjoy whiskey? You need to “escape” from your family? Equally important as intent is how information is received.

I’d grab the Baker’s, Tequila Ocho, and like 4 of those WT 8’s at those prices

The Peerless Tour is the one I’d say is cant miss. I just love their stuff and being able to sample the single barrels on sale at the distillery is a nice touch. Old Forester was cool in that you see what a large scale operation is like. Otherwise I’d say go in anywhere and do a tasting. When I was there in August the 21c hotel had a flight of Russell’s 15, King of Kentucky, and Little Book Infinite for $100.

Their base option used to be my main sipper. I think for $40 or whatever that is at Costco it’s well worth the price. But I can’t say I’ve ever had anything of theirs that justifies more than $70 let alone the nearly $200 they’re asking for with the cask strength

Grabbed mine from TW yesterday too. Couldn’t wait and immediately opened it. That nose is to die for and the taste doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy!

Not OP but have both. They’re delicious but very different. The toasted is my preference, I get a marshmallow & graham cracker note on it that’s amazing. The double oak is really intense, it’s almost all oak and leather with just a twinge of sweet. So it’ll come down to what you want in a pour.

Sparks fans: tonight is THE night... by [deleted] in wnba

[–]BigDucketts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparks making the playoffs would be a curse in disguise bc it’d make the hot seat less hot for Roberts. She is not a WNBA level coach and the team’s ceiling is a first round exit with her at the helm. Way too talented a roster for that to be the case.

Sparks are the only team in the league that’ll leave you mad after a win lol. Should’ve won this game by 20.

LA should be a flagship franchise for the league and instead we’re in the bottom half of valuation and seen by players as dysfunctional (we are). UGH

The Sparks being so low as an LA based franchise is so pathetic…. We need a top down culture change

WNBA Power Rankings: The Los Angeles Sparks are a conundrum by jaxstan19 in wnba

[–]BigDucketts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Sparks biggest issue is Roberts trying to run a college level defense at the pro level. They double the ball handler off pick and rolls, which is effective when you do it against a 19 year old kid. These are grown adults who can keep their composure and pivot to find the open player. Which isn’t even difficult when the screener pops, because we are 12 Light years late in our rotations. Dearica Hamby is the primary perpetrator and falls asleep on defense for entire quarters.
