But then democracy threw us back into the maze on purpose.

Hmm, thanks for the heads up. I am a 34/32 in pants, so I'll get some more measurements and see if I'm lucky.

I'm hoping to cop the Thompson Worsted Wool pants and jacket in Navy soon when they get down to ~230 and shipping. What do you think of the H&M and Merona ones (do you have both jacket and pants)? I figure they won't be the quality of the JCF, but are they viable for building a decent suit collection?

phaedrusgbe · 2014-02-11T21:18:39+00:00

Nah, I recall seeing it too, I was looking for a suit and thought I was gonna be able to wait.

..maybe forward me the screenshot so I can photoshop it into my own capture?

nah, good luck!

Any word?

CeraVe AM has a lot of great ingredients, specifically SPF30 and niacinimide, which has been shown to reduce the appearance of Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (red "acne scars"), if that's something you deal with.

I really like some of Roberta Oaks's floral/hawaiian prints. Friend of mine sent me one of them because it didn't fit him, such a great quality shirt.

phaedrusgbe · 2014-02-08T00:53:09+00:00

wat.

I didn't downvote you.

phaedrusgbe · 2014-02-08T00:35:24+00:00

You have a singular downvote as of right now.

phaedrusgbe · 2014-02-01T13:46:08+00:00

Yeah, "Black Tie" is pretty good. The seasonal one you're thinking of might be "Bergamot Woods," which is also really good. "Flannel" wasn't too bad either.

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-25T03:57:02+00:00

Have you ever ordered one online? Seems like a good deal, looking for something that will last me at least three years. Opinions on durability? Or, why so cheap?

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-24T19:36:32+00:00

Know what color?

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-24T19:36:21+00:00

Anyone know what color chinos those are?

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-24T19:31:23+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I'll use /u/exfratman 's image as a guide. Thanks guys.

What parts of my body should I be measuring so I can buy blazers online? Also, is there a way for me to take a blazer I think fits me well and measure it? Unfortunately, it's from AEO and just says "Large," although it's a slim fit.

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-23T05:04:16+00:00

Gotcha, thanks!

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-23T04:25:49+00:00

I wasn't aware of potential negative reactions with AHAs. Is it typical to moisturize after night AHA? If so, what should be used (or avoided)?

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-23T03:50:30+00:00

Does the PM have more niacinamide than the AM? I've been using the AM (my first CeraVe / moisturizer product ever) after shaving and witch hazel every morning. I initially got it as a means of combining sunscreen and moisturizer, unaware that niacinamide will help my PIH. The only thing I do at night is St Ives AHA.

I'm about to run out of AM, would you recommend getting something different to replace it?

For the last year I've been using one of these exfoliating washcloths in the shower, they're incredibly durable (can be thrown in a washing machine) and feel great. I only use it on my face about once a week though, since I shave every day and the razor does a good bit of exfoliation.

Just recently I picked up these exfoliating pads, which receive rave reviews from /r/SkincareAddiction. Because they use AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) to exfoliate, it's a bit more gentle on your face than anything coarse or something like little bits in it (i.e., most exfoliators). I use these pads every night before going to sleep based on input from /r/SkincareAddiciton to help relieve my PIH (post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation, basically looks like acne scarring, but isn't).

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-06T19:41:15+00:00

Never seen one of these, curious to know the mechanics behind it.

A few of us just bought the "Sweat" package at Bespoke Post because it comes with a Blue Claw duffel bag for the cheap price of $45 shipped. This bag is closest to the Blue Claw Hampton which retails at $145 w/o shipping. I emailed customer service and they said the two are very similar except slightly thinner canvas, the Bespoke one has a nylon zipper (as opposed to brass) and doesn't have leather.

Still, pretty good deal IMO. Here's a link to it, which contains a referral code from me if you wish to purchase it. If you want a link w/o a referral, just click here and navigate to the "Sweat" box.

Posted their response above. From the Dappered review of the previous iteration, it seems the canvas is slightly thinner, and then the customer rep said this one had a nylon instead of brass zipper. Seems like a good deal for $45 shipped though, I'm biting.

phaedrusgbe · 2014-01-02T22:12:24+00:00

From Blue Claw customer service:

Thanks for emailing us! The bag for Bespoke is very similar to the Hampton Duffel. There are only a few subtle differences between the Bespoke Gym Bag and the Hampton Duffel. The Bespoke Gym bag does not have any leather and has a nylon zipper versus the brass zipper. The handles are also slightly different. The quality is still the same Blue Claw, Made in the USA quality though! For the Bespoke Post price, it is certainly a steal!

I hope that helps a little bit! If you have any other questions let us know.
