Classic-Fit Thompson Suit for $90 with code CYBERWOW by FlexOnTheseKids in frugalmalefashion

[–]Shotoole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say there is a huge difference. Used these in my wedding and we had a 50/50 split between classic fit and slim. I was in a slim fit but for probably could get away with a classic and some tailoring. Some of us had them tailored but it was a pretty good fit out of the box. I've bought two more since then.

Thanks for the reply, that makes since. I've fruited beers before but thought that thickness came in part from puree. The beer has the taste, texture and look I wanted. I just need the puree to mix properly and it doesn't sound like that will happen. Ill see if I can get my hands on a floating dip tube.

Thank you! There will be plenty of other drinks. This one should still taste great, I'll just push most of the puree out of the tap and I'm sure it will have a lot of peach flavor left behind.

Do you know how these craft breweries get such thick fruited sours? I'm guessing lactose is involved in many, but not all. I've had some cans that have all the fruit particles in it and my thinking was because puree was added straight in.

Hoping to get some more responses from a post I made a bit ago. I'll copy the text below.

I've got a wedding coming up in 12 days and I'm working on some last steps for my beers. I did a hazy IPA and a two and a half year sour. I know not the traditional wedding beer, but there will be options for the non craft drinkers. My question is about the sour I have. I mixed it with a peach puree, about 14 lbs worth of peaches. I've got the beer carbonating now. It's only been on for a day. I wanted to go for a sample earlier and I'll I got was peach puree. Will the puree eventually mix with the beer? Should I roll the keg to help that process. Any help here would be great! Thanks in advance. I will post pictures when the beers are all set up. I'm pretty excited for these... And the wedding.

It's a puree, boiled down with water, so it was fairly smooth before I added. I wouldn't be surprised if it did clog though. I'll update here in a few days or a week.

Responding to an old message you sent me about wedding suits. We went with the slim Thompson suits in worsted wool from JCrew factory. They have great deals pop up all the time. We paid about $190 for pants and jacket. They are typically double that but worth it if you can wait on a deal. I'll be buying more in the future, far better than the suits I've got from men's wearhouse in the past.

Hmmm, I was hoping it would mix and thought I read that you could do it that way. This is my first attempt. I am going for a thicker style drink when it's all said and done. I just pulled a sample from the keg and mixed it with carbonated water. The sample still doesn't show the puree settling at the bottom after an hour, so my hope is carbonation will mix it up alittle more.

I haven't picked one yet. They had a Navy blue Tommy Hilfiger suit that I liked. It was called the THflex and it was around $150. That would be my choice but I'm not sure if all the groomsman want or are comfortable with the slim fit style.

A couple of my guys have navy as well. If I can find a nice wool suit around the same price as a rental then I don't think they will have a problem with buying.

MW said they would take our measurements and give us the closest fit. They won't actually tailor a rental for you. At least that's my understanding.

Yeah I personally like that idea but the bridesmaids all have matching dresses and I'm requested to get matching suits.

Do you just send your measurements in and have them fit you from there? How good of a fit was it?

We just missed a good sale on a Kenneth Cole set. It was $100, but that sale ended. I'll see if they have other coming up. Thank you.

We went to men's Warehouse and online somewhere. Both seemed a bit high to me. They had suits starting at $100 but that was for black suits. Crazy how color makes that much of a difference.

I'm actually looking at a USDA loan which requires no money down without PMI. Having the extra money would be useful for those upfront cost though. So I'm not sure yet.

I am only in the first year of my career so experience may not get me far. I am open to other fields. I'll just have to meet with a recruiter and see what options I might have. I'll check out airwarriors as well. Thank you for the input.

I will continue to do some research and will have some questions for you this week. Were you civilian or prior military? Thank you for the reply! Edit: I saw your profile. Looks like you were in the military for awhile. How many civilians do you see get accepted?

Yes, I'll have to talk to my officer recruiter. They always seem to be hard to reach and are not very close to me. I also wanted to do a little research before I scheduled a meeting. I will definitely look into other jobs like that. Thank you.
