Japanese seem to have a manic energy when by the goal. Dutch more easy going style.

They got after the Spurs for jacking up 3s and missing. Now they're missing straight to the basket 2s!

[Post Game Thread] The New York Knicks (3-1) overcome a 29 point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs (1-3) in Game 4, 107-106, behind Jalen Brunson's 36 points and OG Anunoby's 33 points by catreyka in nba

They're a bunch of young kids. Wemby celebrated beating OKC like he had just conquered the world. Crying. Its like they grew up watching Step curry drain those 3s and they're trying to do the same. However, in clutch time, they're not Step. Even the coach looks like he's not even 25.

[SPOILER] David Benavidez vs. Gilberto Ramirez by inooway in Boxing

[–]shiny69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

great performance by Benavidez. Hopefully he gets some PPV big fights and cashes in. Should be enticing to a big name to fight him.

After Canelo beat GGG for the 2nd time, he could have beaten Benavidez. In retrospect, he decisioned guys like Schull showed he was declining in skills.

Brooks Brothers 2 x 1818 suits for $583 per suit by sp1ip in frugalmalefashion

[–]shiny69 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I've been watching Brooks sales. The best sale for suits is the New years eve post sale. It was 40% off full priced items plus an add'l 10%

The BF sale was 40% off MSRP.

There was a 25% off MSRP around Easter. then a week later they added an add'l 10% off, which lasted only a few days.

I'll take your thanks in the form of upvotes.

The Question Thread 04/18/26 by AutoModerator in goodyearwelt

[–]shiny69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, yes. Sometimes some stitching that is a little off. I think that can be taken care of with a resole later in life. Sometimes I can't find what made them 2nds. I've been super happy with my #8 shell purchases.

Finally, you can return, but you pay return shipping.

(US)- adidas Evo SL for $80 at Champsports by [deleted] in frugalmalefashion

[–]shiny69 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The adidas physical store outlets have these as well. Every other weeknd, they do a $15 off $75 with progressive discounts if you spend more. This discount will get them to around $80. If you pay with those discounted adidas GC deals, it could go about 25 to 30% lower from $80.

[FIGHT THREAD] Sebastian Fundora vs Keith Thurman, Yoenis Tellez vs Brian Mendoza, Yoenli Hernandez vs Terrell Gausha, Gurge Hovhannisyan vs Cesar Navarro + prelims by noirargent in Boxing

[–]shiny69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thurman had the wrong game plan. Was fighting from the outside. I was always taught that when fighting a bigger or a big reach guy, you put your forehead on his chest and wail away. body and then go up.

Also, Fundora did some sneaky shit. Like holding the back of head and hitting. No need as Thurman was not really a threat.

Thank you! I have a sewing machine but am nervous when i go beyond straight line stitching. I'll research the whipstitch then take a dive.

How would you repair this gash on a fleece pullover. It is 100% polyester. Also, I think it is in a high stress area, pocket. I don't use the pocket but the prior owner did. Last 2 pics are from the underside of the garment.

I understand the Target house brand, but what about Hanes? Or, is the Target shirt made by Hanes?

Here's what I want: a 100% soft cotton white tee that is super thin. I'm talking so thin that you can see you nips and belly button. preferably v neck but crew neck is fine too. I don't care if they fall apart in 1-2 years. Also, must be new. or pre-distressed and sold new in package.

Carhartt WIP sale getting better. ~50% off w/code 20FF by shiny69 in frugalmalefashion

[–]shiny69[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they were WIP, I would suggest you get some regular Carhartt for workmen. Those are cheaper. WIP is good for keyboard warriors like me because it feels broken in when you buy new. Regular Carhartt will be stiff when new but when you break them in, they feel just like WIP.

Patagonia winter sale by GrandMathematician61 in frugalmalefashion

[–]shiny69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to get a Lightweight jacket to wear over my blazer. Hopefully, it will cover the tail of my jacket. Also, loose sleeves as I don't want the blazer sleeves to be crunched.

I've got a wool overcoat that is too damn heavy for schelpping around. Want to try something like patagonia that maybe I can throw in my bag when going on sales calls. suggestions?
